Info for The Songs Of Bacharach & Costello (Super Deluxe Remastered)

Das umfangreiche 45-Song-Set enthält auch Live-Auftritte von Bacharach und Costello mit Orchestern in New York und London, bei denen sie einige der Songs aus Painted From Memory sowie andere beliebte Bacharach-Songs aufführen; Costello, der auf seiner "Lonely World Tour" mit Nieve (dem klassisch ausgebildeten Pianisten und Keyboarder von The Attractions und The Imposters) abgespeckte Versionen der Songs spielt; und eine Auswahl von Bacharach- und Hal-David-Songs, die Costello im Laufe der Jahre gespielt und aufgenommen hat, darunter "I'll Never Fall In Love Again", das Bacharach und Costello in "Austin Powers" gemeinsam auf der Leinwand spielten: The Spy Who Shagged Me". Das umfangreiche Set ist in einer aufwendigen 12,75 x 12,5 Zoll großen Box untergebracht und enthält ein 20-seitiges Booklet mit Fotografien von William Claxton und Rankin, im und außerhalb des Studios, frühen Textentwürfen, Studionotizen, Seiten aus dem Skript des Musicals "Painted From Memory" und einem neu verfassten, 10.000 Wörter umfassenden Essay von Costello, in dem er seine fast drei Jahrzehnte währende Freundschaft und produktive musikalische Partnerschaft mit Bacharach ausführlich beschreibt und darlegt, wie einflussreich der legendäre Songwriter sein Leben lang war.

The Songs of Bacharach & Costello wird heute mit der Veröffentlichung von drei seltenen und unveröffentlichten Live-Auftritten aus den Jahren 1998 und 1999 vorgestellt, darunter ein starkes und ergreifendes "In The Darkest Place", das als Duo mit Nieve am Klavier in Australien auf der Lonely World Tour aufgenommen wurde, und eine fesselnde Darbietung von "Painted From Memory", aufgenommen in Stockholm, Schweden, mit Nieve und dem Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra. Schließlich hören wir Costello und Bacharach live mit einem Orchester in der Londoner Royal Festival Hall, wo sie eine sensationelle Version von Dionne Warwicks (und Cilla Blacks) Hit "Anyone Who Had A Heart" aus dem Jahr 1963 zum Besten geben.

Elvis Costello & Burt Bacharach

Elvis Costello
began working as a professional musician 35 years ago, shortly after the release of his first album, “My Aim Is True”. He has made more than 27 studio records, three live albums and numerous guest appearances on stage, studio and screen as well as working as a record producer, bit-part actor and composing music for television drama and dance performance.

He has toured the world with The Attractions, The Imposters and the pianist, Steve Nieve, performing with symphony and jazz orchestras as well as in solo performance. His catalogue of songs includes collaborations with Paul McCartney, Allen Toussaint and Burt Bacharach with whom he won a Grammy for “I Still Have That Other Girl” from their 1998 collaboration, Painted From Memory. Costello’s songs have been recorded by George Jones, Chet Baker, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Dusty Springfield and Robert Wyatt.

Elvis Costello and The Attractions were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003. In the same year he was awarded ASCAP’s prestigious Founder’s Award. His last record was 2010s National Ransom, produced by T-Bone Burnett. Between 2008 and 2010, Costello was the host of twenty episodes of the interview and music show, “Spectacle” on the Sundance Channel.

This album contains no booklet.
