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.Induuchlen demonstrates a different side of Heinz Holliger to the virtuoso interpretations of Bach on the recently-released Konzerte Und Sinfonien Für Oboe.
Here, the emphasis is on Holliger the composer, with two contemporary chamber pieces, "Toronto-Exercises" and "Ma'mounia", bookending two suites, "Puneigä" and "Induuchlen", of challenging settings of modern Swiss poetry, with respectively soprano and countertenor testing both extremes of their ranges – from low growlings to piercing pipings – in the company of instrumental rasps, flutters and groans. "Ma'mounia" features woodwind, horn and piano supporting a furious clamour of percussion, while the "Toronto-Exercises" offers the most satisfying arc. Bracing stuff – though a translation would be welcome.
