BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 26th February 2018
Rufus Wainwright shares his musical milestones with Matt Everitt in a programme first broadcast in 2017.
They discuss the realities of being born into folk music royalty (he's the son of Loudon Wainwright III and the late Kate McGarrigle) and a childhood totally surrounded my music. Rufus declares a love of 80s chart pop, and a passion for Nina Simone, Maria Callas and Judy Garland.
Rufus also talks about his own work, including the making of his acclaimed 1998 debut album, his experiences playing New York's prestigious Carnegie Hall and how his intense relationship with his parents has affected his work.
