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.Heitor Villa-Lobos's prolific output ranged from symphonies to movie scores to folkloric representations of the diverse culture of his native Brazil.
Indeed, all the suites featured here – the Ciclo Brasileiro, Saudades Das Selvas Brasileiras, etc – are nationalistic in nature. He was inspired by Bach, and Marcelo Bratke here brings out the full range of character in Villa-Lobos's Bachianas Brasileiras No 4, in which his native nationalist influence is most deftly intertwined with that of J S Bach. Its schematic, though far from mechanical, progressions are imbued throughout with an undertow of reflective melancholy, spiced with unexpected rhythmic dislocations.
