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.Luigi Boccherini spent much of his career arriving in cities just as the spark of creativity had moved elsewhere.
In the London Mozart Players’ disc, only Symphony No 8 reflects the Gluckian severity he prized. Symphony No 3 and Symphony No 21 are so liberally festooned with concertante solos for oboes, bassoons, strings and even a piccolo that thematic development is limited or obscured. Much of the playing is stylish, though the acoustics are washy and the textures homogenous.
