[ Deutsche Grammophon / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 1 June 2001
Wonderful pairing of the soprano star with great songwriter/performer
"The bespectacled face and the name of Elvis Costello were familiar to me ten years ago but not much else. Since then I've got to know E.C. the great songwriter, the terrific performer and, on a personal level, the Elvis who helped me make a recording.
Whereas I meandered through various ideas and concepts for this disc, he always stuck to his convictions. After trial and error sessions prior to the October 2000 recording, he was proved absolutely right."
