Elvis Costello: The Juliet Letters
CML call number: CD/POPULAR/Costello
Today's New York Times reports on a forthcoming book about the letters that people write to Shakespeare's fictional character Juliet Capulet, addressed to "Juliet, Verona" or dropped off at the house where the historical model for Juliet might have lived. The article doesn't mention it, but The Juliet Letters was inspired by the same situation. It's a song cycle jointly composed and recorded by Mr. Costello and the Brodsky String Quartet, and worth a listen.
