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.

Hilary Hahn has been entranced by the combination of violin and voice ever since hearing, as a small child, a Bach cantata performed by such a pairing, their lines intertwining in a way which seemed"magical beyond belief". The violinist has nursed a desire to develop a programme of such duets, realised here with soprano Christine Schäfer and baritone Matthias Goerne. It's rounded out by a couple of trios blending the diverse timbres of all three, the result is an album of intriguing novelty, grace and subtlety.
