It was one of the most challenging and most fulfilling shows of my life,\" Rufus said of the tour. It was the first time I had sung so many different styles and worlds of music, from French Baroque to classical arias to contemporary music. I don't think it would have been possible without Candida Thompson and the Amsterdam Sinfonietta. Their beautiful string playing had me mesmerized, uplifted, and challenged without being anxious.\" One of the highlights of the concert would have to be the nearly nine-minute long \"I'm Going In.This song is about the death of Lhasa De Sela, a Canadian singer and songwriter who died at the age of 37 after a battle with cancer.
