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.Eleven years after launching their recording career with Zig-Zag Territoires, the Belcea Quartet return to the boutique label with their first volume of Beethoven's complete String Quartets.
Tuning remains pristine throughout, while tone, expressivity and attack is bolder, from the heroic yearnings and benign variations of Opus 18 Nos 1, 2, 4 and 6, to the ferocity of Opus 95 and the numinous reflections of Opus 131. Faultless and unsettling.
