Elvis Costello: The Juliet Letters

為絃樂四重奏和聲樂而作的歌曲序列。艾維斯-科斯特洛為回應一篇文章而作，該文章詳細描述了一位維羅納學者給 "茱麗葉-凱普萊特 "回信的發現。這些書信內容的細膩和個人性質激發了布羅茨基四重奏的創作靈感，他們專門為布羅茨基四重奏編曲並演唱了這組美妙而淒美的歌曲。這是一部看似簡單的作品，卻充分體現了科斯特洛睿智的旋律感"

原文簡介:
A song sequence for String Quartet and Voice. Written by Elvis Costello in response to an article detailing the discovery that a Veronese academic had been replying to letters addressed to 'Juliet Capulet'. The delicate and personal nature of the content of such correspondence has inspired a wonderful and poignant set of songs arranged specifically for, and performed by, The Brodsky Quartet. This is a deceptively simple and work, baring all the qualities of Costello's intelligent sense of melody.
