I love this Elvis Costello appearance from the Tonight Show, with the Brodsky Quartet, his uneven foray into mixing pop music with a classical string quartet on the Juliet Letters (1993). You can see him struggling to hit the vocals on a lot of the notes as he's trying to sing it in a semi-operatic style. But the climax at the end, with the expression on his face, is chilling.
