I love Rufus. This setting and performance of Sonnet 20 (A Woman's Face) makes me love him more. I think he is the true musical genius and voice of our generation (not Kanye West). He composed melodies for the Sonnets for a theatrical production in Germany. You can find the staged versions on YouTube. They are fantastic.
His new album, "All Days are Nights- Songs for Lulu", has just come out. It's only piano and vocal- but it is the best thing I've heard in a long time. Give it a listen!
(You'll have to stop the opera music player that is about half way down on the side bar to listen to this video)
