This is a truly lovely cd. Anne Sophie Von Otter, whom I only knew as a classical singer, hits exactly the right note (and notes, of course) in these warmly wistful songs, with the brilliant Elvis Costello, composer and lyricist of many of them. Perhaps my favourite, though, is Tom Waits/Paul McCartney’s “Broken Bicycles/Junk”, which drew me to the collection in the first place. Wonderful!

Although at first sight this looks an unlikely combination, this is a very special cd. Anne-Sophie von Otter, for a classical Mezzo, does an amazing job with this selection of non-classical songs, some by the excellent Elvis Costello. The small backing groups of top-notch session musicians, even extending to a member of Abba, add to the magic. Most thoroughly recommended!

brilliant songs, sung superbly, very reaxing to listen to, what a voice and sonwriting combination. I heard a track played on the radio and just had to have it, seeing the album on ebay is just a bonus, thanks
'Pop' songs sung by a classical singer, but without the cringe factor of perfect enunciation on pop songs. Nearly all of the songs are slow, but they are beautifully and convincingly done.
