OK, I’m going to make this personal. Neil Rolnick is one of my absolute favorite composers. For the way he combines the demotic with the advanced. For the way he makes electronic music human. One of the pieces on this program, played by the splendid pianist Kathleen Supové, is Rolnick’s envoi to his late wife; I find it almost unbearably moving (but then I’m particularly susceptible to pieces about dead wives) (OK, getting too personal here). So that covers the “loss”. Another splendid pianist, Geoffrey Burleson, handles the “lockdown”, with a piece Rolnick wrote during it.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  It’s freezing cold out. You should go to Karczma for some warming Polish food.
