The Juliet Lettersis the 14th studio album by singer and songwriter Elvis Costello. Originally released in 1993, the critically acclaimed album peaked at No. 18 on the UK album chart. The Brodsky Quartet provides the entire instrumental backing for The Juliet Letters. Costello had become interested in classical music around the time of Spike and began attending classical concerts. One of the ensembles he enjoyed most was the Brodsky Quartet. Once Costello and the Quartet got to know each other, they were keen on working together, resulting in a full-length album.

Costello describedThe Juliet Lettersas a song sequence for string quartet and voice with a title. It’s a little bit different. It’s not a rock opera. It’s a new thing.
