An encounter with Un Sueño in Re minor by Gerard Palm together with Astor Piazzolla's stirring Libertango, Leonard Cohen's life song Halleluja in duo with the compelling Air by Johann Sebastian Bach, or the melancholy of Portuguese Fado in Cançao do Mar, which continues to dream with Curaçao in the beautiful twilight of Rudy Plaate's Atardi.
