The Goings On About Town section in The New Yorker remains suspended indefinitely in its conventional format, and album reviews prevail, for now. Here's mine from the April 6 issue: a quick take on Healing Modes, the latest offering from the string quartet Brooklyn Rider, presenting a program that has grown much more pertinent in the present moment than anyone might have imagined—or hoped. The album is newly issued on In a Circle, the label operated by Brooklyn Rider violinist Johnny Gandelsman, whose own recent collection of Bach's complete Cello Suites, transcribed for violin, is warmly recommended.
