Elvis Costello is to release two albums in autumn – a rock’n’roll disc and his first full-length orchestral work.
The star is recording the rock album with his backup band, the Imposters, in Memphis, Tennessee, and Oxford, Mississippi. It will be released on Lost Highway Records.
The classical album, Il Sogno, was recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra, with conductor Michael Tilson Thomas and will be released on the Deutsche Grammophon label.
Costello’s most recent album, North, was a jazzy, piano-based song cycle on love lost and found.
