Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Russian composer Victor Kissine's work has been accurately described as possessing a “reticent musical language”, a characteristic skilfully demonstrated by Gidon Kremer's Kremerata Baltica on this album of three chamber-music premieres.
The gestures are tiny, as when “Between Two Waves” opens with rippling piano figures at the limit of audibility, or “Duo (after Osip Mandelstam)” begins even more stealthily, with two minutes of virtual silence from which eventually appear small eddies of violin and cello. In all cases, the motifs grow firmer and louder – Kremer's violin rising warily above the quiet percussion of “Barcarola”– though expression remains pleasingly furtive throughout.
