Short intro

My Flame Burns Blue is Elvis Costello's fourth record released on the classical label Deutsche Grammophon, and by now it should be clear that just because Elvis releases something on DG, it does not necessarily mean that the album itself is classical. That term may apply to For the Stars, his duet album with opera vocalist Anne Sofie Von Otter, as well as his orchestral piece Il Sogno which is excerpted on a bonus CD attached to this release, but it doesn't apply to 2003's song cycle North, nor does it apply to My Flame Burns Blue, which is accurately described. Consequently, I had plenty of charts to consider for my concerts with the Metropole Orkest in the summer of 2004. My Flame Burns Blue is the twenty-second album by Elvis Costello, released on Deutsche Grammophon. It is his second official live release after the El Mocambo bonus disc issued with the 2 Years box set. It consists of recordings from the North Sea Jazz Festival in July 2004, made with Steve Nieve and The Metropole Orkest conducted by Vince Mendoza. It peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Jazz albums chart and at No. 188 on the Billboard 200. 2009 г. My Flame Burns Blue Blood Count' by Elvis Costello. Completa la tua Collezione su Elvis Costello.

Elvis Costello takes the occasion of his first official live release recorded with the 52-piece Metropole Orkest at The Hague's North Sea Jazz Festival in 2004 to not only recap the various non-rockpop genres the restless veteran singer-songwriter has explored in recent years, but recast a few of his songbook favorites in striking new musical arrangements as well. That said, 'My Flame Burns Blue' has proved a challenging listen early on. Some of my problem with 'Flame' is simply song preference. There are several selections that are among my least favorite Costello songs: 'Clubland', 'Almost Blue' and '. Forbidden Playthings' among them. YECCHH
