Elvis Costello: The Juliet Letters

为弦乐四重奏和声乐而作的歌曲序列。埃尔维斯-科斯特洛为回应一篇文章而作，该文章详细描述了一位维罗纳学者给 "朱丽叶-凯普莱特 "回信的发现。这些书信内容的细腻和个人性质激发了布罗茨基四重奏的创作灵感，他们专门为布罗茨基四重奏编曲并演唱了这组美妙而凄美的歌曲。这是一部看似简单的作品，却充分体现了科斯特洛睿智的旋律感"

原文简介:
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.
