Haitian art music for piano and cello, and Vivaldi and Piazzolla on mandolin and accordion.

Antonio Vivaldi wasn't the only composer to find inspiration in the changing seasons. Astor Piazzolla's 'Four Seasons of Buenos Aires' was a revelation at the Mostly Mozart Festival.

'That's Not Tango' and the Neave Trio at Lincoln Center declare July the season for the music of the great Argentine tango nuevo composer Astor Piazzolla.

Together the musicians craft the feel of a much larger band, taking turns evoking the bandoneón through technique and imaginative force, and summoning orchestral depth by turns dark and brilliant.

Piazzolla's music contains multitudes of possibilities, gentleness always among them.

A "dance" theme encompassed music of Piazzolla, Joaquín Turina, and Beethoven.
