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.There are two ways to listen to Freiburg Baroque's latest recording: as a scintillating performance of household favourites or as a work of scholarship. On both counts, it is a success. Andreas Staier's relaxed performance of the 'Piano Concerto in B flat' trips delicately along, accompanied by slender single strings in the solo parts, and accompanying the orchestra in the tutti sections, with cadenzas of unalloyed gaity and invention. In a new reconstruction of the 'Clarinet Concerto', Lorenzo Coppola's coppery 'clarinette d'amour' gives Mozart's final instrumental work some much-needed freshness and spice.
