C.P. Cavafy was one of the great poets of the last century, combining a surprisingly (for its time) frank and enthusiastic gay eroticism with a very sharp sense of historical irony. This tribute features works by Rufus Wainwright arr. Missy Mazzoli, Nico Muhly, Paola Prestini, Helga Davis perf. Helga Davis (with the Brooklyn Youth Chorus and the Knights), and Laurie Anderson perf. Laurie Anderson.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: King goes Uptown and becomes somewhat less interesting at Jupiter.
