What do you do when fate knocks at the door and devastates your world? Do you resist it, in the spirit of Beethoven’s indomitable Fifth? Do you attain an enlightened state of detachment, as in Jonathan Dove’s otherworldly beautiful Hojoki, with countertenor Hugh Cutting as the ideal soloist? Or, like Joey Roukens, do you find a new answer? Food for thought, 87 years after the bombing of Rotterdam.
