AstoriaAbout
From the title, we might also imagine that Piazzolla is offering us a tango version of Vivaldi's concertos. An arrangement, a remix. Or that he is having fun dropping quotations from Vivaldi's themes into his pieces. He is doing no such thing. Some things Piazzolla's and Vivaldi's works have in common are frequent changes of tempo, strong contrasts of nuance, the use of virtuosity, refreshing unisono passages and, finally, very expressive slow passages. But – and this is tango – these expressive passages are heart-rending, poignant, even tragic, often associated with a free rhythm, anunidentifiable pulsation – and this is really Piazzolla ... This is theatrical music, expressive of intense feelings.
Michel Lysight's (b. 1958) Four Seasons (2016) for accordion, violin, cello, double bass, percussion and piano was composed at the request of accordionist Christophe Delporte for the Astoria Ensemble, to which it is dedicated. The titles of the four movements that make up this work are deliberately enigmatic, but each refers to a particular season. It's for the audience to guess which and why.
