Album Notes
Personnel: Elvis Costello (vocals); Michael Thomas, Ian Belton (violins); Paul Cassidy (viola); Jacqueline Thomas (cello).
Producers: Elvis Costello, The Brodsky Quartet, Kevin Killen.
Recorded at Church Studios, Crouch Hill, North London, England from September 14 to October 1, 1992. Includes liner notes by Elvis Costello.
After a couple of post-Attractions albums where Costello enjoyed his newfound freedom as a solo artist, he began to feel the need to collaborate with another group. This notion coincided with his growing interest in classical music. It seemed like a natural step, then, for him to join forces with the Brodsky Quartet, a string ensemble he'd grown to admire. Neither pop nor classical, THE JULIET LETTERS resides mostly in the world of art song, with extended structures and lyrics based on a theme (a group of letters written to and by various characters). The album is a collaboration in the truest sense, even more so than the Attractions days--the Brodsky Quartet co-wrote not only the music, but some of the lyrics as well. THE JULIET LETTERS was a gutsy move for Costello, and it stands out as one of his most unusual albums. Little else in the pop world sounds anything like it.
