埃爾維斯．科斯特洛音樂會

門票將於7月31日早上十時公開發售!

浪尖上的英倫音樂傳奇

國際巨星埃爾維斯．科斯特洛(Elvis Costello)見證了不同的音樂世代，被譽於最具創意和影響力的頂尖創作人之一，今次將以超凡精湛的結他技藝、略帶沙啞的歌聲，為樂迷帶來不同風格的曲目。

科斯特洛吒咤國際樂壇四十載，最為人熟悉的相信是主唱1999年電影《摘星奇緣》(Notting Hill)中的歌曲《She》。他以龐克搖滾開始個人音樂之路，成爲七十年代新浪潮的代表人物，曾與搖滾巨星Paul McCartney、老牌歌手Tony Bennett，傳奇爵士小號手Chet Baker和鄉村音樂教父級歌手Johnny Cash等傳奇人物合作；多年來，科斯特洛不斷求變，遊走於不同音樂領域，連爵士樂和古典音樂界域亦見足跡，合作藝人包括布洛斯基弦樂四重奏(Brodsky Quartet)、明格斯樂團(Mingus Orchestra)及瑞典女中音歌唱家奧特(Anne Sofie von Otter)等。科斯特洛不僅是格林美獎得主，還被入選摇滚名人堂和在2004年被《滾石》雜誌列入「史上百大音樂人之一」。

科斯特洛今次單人匹馬帶來的個人音樂會，必定讓你好好領略這位被譽爲七十年代英國「流行音樂救世主」的獨特魅力。

The Musical Voyager 

At last, Elvis Costello is stepping on CCM’s stage! The legendary musician and performer is visiting us for an intimate display of musical brilliance, to reveal why he has been considered one of the most innovative, influential and best songwriters ever. In this concert, the star musician brings us a lyrical merge of guitar and piano chords to perfectly match his entertaining chemistry.

Widely known for his unmistakable interpretation of She (soundtrack to “Notting Hill” movie, back in 1999), Costello shot to stardom two decades earlier, thrust by the thrill of new wave and punk movements. His creative restlessness would soon send him rushing through a wide spectrum of pop hits and complex orchestral arrangements. An eclectic genius drive took him to acclaimed partnerships with music giants, from Paul McCartney and Tony Bennett, to trumpet legend Chet Baker or country music icon Johnny Cash. Inspired by a myriad of different genres, he kept pushing boundaries as he stepped into the classical and jazz music sphere with collaborations ranging from the Brodsky Quartet to the Mingus Orchestra or Swedish mezzo soprano Anne Sofie von Otter. After collecting prestigious awards, from the Grammys to the BAFTAs, Rolling Stone Magazine named him in 2004, one of the 100 greatest artists of all time!

In a solo appearance that will balance moments of gravity with humour, Elvis Costello will treat us to an emotional merge of best songs and new hits. His Asian tour is an historic chance for all music fans this side of the globe. Finally, we will witness how an iconic songwriter transforms a set of fiercely literate lyrics into a string of vivid stories and a memorable live concert.
