This deeply existential Kurt Weill song is usually rendered "too pretty." It's great to see it performed with the depth and angst which truly convey it's meaning. Well done!
Thanks for the video! Did you know that Squeeze, from the same genre of music, is going to be touring North America in the Summer of 2007 and the UK later in the year? Tickets for the North American dates are available on the Ticketmaster website.

An amazing song, and a just as amazing job of performing it by EC and the Brodsky Quartert. Sends shivers up the spine.

Elvis Costello with the Brodsky Quartet. Man alive! Good stuff. Anyone got anything from Juliet Letters?

Saw a video about Elvis collaboration with the Brodsky Quartet years ago. Great stuff, and I keep hoping it'll pop up here

It's been quite a while, of course, like shortly after the Juliet Letters came out. It was on a PBS station.

The whole "September Songs" production is unbelievably good. It's also unbelievable that you can't get the video any where.

One of the best songs from Kurt Weill! I love it!

Agree with you, Weill´s songwriting is brilliant and Costello makes vivid honour to it!

Still remember the performance in Amsterdam. Long time ago. Forever part of my life.

From a BEAUTIFUL album. Costello's voice is like a fifth instrument. Classic bitter-sweetness.
