echt? ich warte ja auf die deluxe-edition und freue mich schon sehr darauf, weil mir die paar stücke, die ich davon gehört habe, sehr gefallen haben.
Echt? Mir hat das Ganze überhaupt nicht gefallen – wozu braucht die Welt ein Costello-singt-Country-Hits-Album? Okay, man könnte ähnliche Fragen auch für so manches andere Costello-Album formulieren, aber „Almost Blue“ sagt mir gar nichts.

Orchestral album „Il Sogno“ to be released simultaneously
Release Date: 2004-eFallBillboard, 2004-04-08
„Il Sogno“ is Costello first full-length orchestral composition. Deutsche Grammophon will release the London Symphony Orchestra's recording, conducted by Michael Tilson-Thomas. Plans are for the set to include a bonus disc that will be recorded at this summer's North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam, Holland.

During an interview on Belgian radio on 2003-09-13, Elvis said that 'A Midsummer Nights Dream' will be released at the end of 2004 and that there will be some concerts (with an orchestra) around that time with excerpts of 'A Midsummer Nights Dream' and with 'North'-songs in their full orchestral arrangements. He called this his „Two-year master plan“.

'The next album, though, promises a real challenge.
„It's an instrumental album, which is already in the can,“ he says. „It's orchestral music. The instrumental colours on this record may prepare people's ears for that, but it will be asking for their attention for a lot longer without words – which is the one thing I've been known for.“
Jetzt bin ich vollends verwirrt. Ist „A Midsummer Night's Dream“ die Bonus-CD von „Il Sogno“ oder ein Arbeitstitel oder was ganz anderes? Und ist „Il Sogno“ nun rein instrumental oder nicht? Wenn Costello darauf nicht singt, glaube ich nicht, dass ich das brauche.
