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 eighth volume in Ton Koopman's survey of the complete works of Dieterich Buxtehude takes us to the Trio Sonatas Opus 1.
The sound of these Italian-influenced studies of agitation is beautifully immediate, the performance a dialogue between two pairs of duet partners, with violinist Catherine Manson a lively foil to Paolo Pandolfo's gloriously open-sounding viola da gamba, and lutenist Mike Fentross tailoring each phrase to Koopman's harpsichord or organ.
