The 1990's found Elvis Costello experimenting with instrumental, orchestral and classical music. He composed the title and incidental music for the mini-series ''G.B.H.'', for which in 1991 he won a BAFTA with his pair co-composer, Richard Harvey. A few years later, after an acclaimed collaboration with Brodsky Quartet on "''Juliet Letters''", he reunited with the Attractions in 1995, for the album "''Brutal Youth''" (this was one among the six Elvis Costello albums featured in "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die"). Next year's tour proved to the last for the band. Tension between Costello and Bruce Thomas grew once more and Costello split up with the Attractions once again. In 1998 he signed a multi-label contract with Polygram Records, later part of Universal Music Group. He started collaboration with Burt Bacharach and they released the critically acclaimed album "''Painted from Memory''". At the same time he appeared in a couple of soundtracks, for the films "''Austin Powers: The spy who shagged me''", "''The Rugrats Movie''", "''The long journey home''" and of course "''Notting Hill''" with his version of Charles Aznavour's "She". | The 1990's found Elvis Costello experimenting with instrumental, orchestral and classical music.

The new millennium found Elvis Costello once again experimenting with more jazzy and classical music styles. He appeared in Steve Nieve’s opera “Welcome to the Voice” and he also wrote music for a new ballet, as an artist and in residence in UCLA. In 2002 he toured with his “new” band, the “Imposters”, which had the same members with the Attractions but a different bass player. In 2003 he released “''North''”, an album consisting of piano ballads, much closer to the style we know him for nowadays. In 2004, the song he wrote with T-Bone Burnett “Scarlet Tide” was used in the film “''Cold Mountain''” and nominated for an Academy Award. Far away from his new wave or post punk roots, he continued with classical and orchestral work with “''Il Sogno''”. He contributed to a jazz project in 2005 and then attempted to write a chamber opera which remained unfinished, but material can be found in 2009 album “''Secret, Profane and Sugarcane''”. | |||
In the last decade he has made numerous appearances in television shows portraying himself but he never quit music. In fact we are expecting his new album either late 2013 or early 2014! | |||
