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.Baroque specialists Ensemble Zefiro follow up last year's acclaimed recording of Handel's Music for the Royal Fireworks with this further selection of his cantatas and sonatas along similar lines, opening with a delightful "Trio Sonata in B flat major Op. 2 No. 3, HWV 388" in which the two oboes dance delicately around the central supporting strut provided by the bassoon and violone, in an ornate fugal manner doubtless derived from Corelli.
Soprano Gemma Bertagnolli joins Zefiro for measured performances of the pantheistic German aria "Meine Seele hört im Sehen", the Italian cantata "Mi palpita il cor" and the English cantata "Venus and Adonis".
