ANNE SOPIE VON OTTER Meets ELVIS COSTELLO
The Swedish mezzo soprano Anne Sofie von Otter is among the most versatile singers on today s scene, recording and performing opera of various eras and in various languages, art song, oratorio, rock, pop, and jazz.
Elvis Costello arrived as a sneering spitfire, the smartest and meanest singer/songwriter in the first wave of 1970s British punk backed by the Attractions, a band who could match his ferocity. Soon, Costello galloped away from the loud, fast rules of punk, demonstrating his musical and verbal facility with Armed Forces, a 1979 album that contained Oliver s Army, Accidents Will Happen, and his cover of Nick Lowe s What s So Funny About Peace, Love and Understanding, a trio of singles that turned into new wave standards. Such rapid musical evolution and switches in style became the rule in Costello s career, as he amassed a catalog that seemed to touch upon every conceivable genre of popular music.

For the Stars winds through a number of pop songs, ranging from new Costello songs to pop standards, from old Elvis favorites to covers of the Beach Boys, Paul McCartney, Ron Sexsmith, ABBA, and Tom Waits. Most of this is executed in a manner similar to The Juliet Letters, finding a middle ground between classicist pop and chamber music without bowing to the conventions of either. Above all, this is frequently interesting music... AllMusic
