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.Weill & Brecht's The Seven Deadly Sins and Alban Berg's Lulu share a fascination with the decay and degradation of the human spirit in a decadent age.
In this pairing from 1993, the New York Philharmonic under Kurt Masur brings both to harrowing life: the massive death-chord as Jack the Ripper kills Lulu is one of the most terrifying things you'll ever hear, while the mannered delivery of Angelina Réaux as the split-personality sisters Anna I and II in The Seven Deadly Sins is well matched by the leering, descriptive enthusiasm of the orchestra as they track the sisters across the American cities allotted to each sin. But it does leave one aching for the visual aspect so robustly signalled in the music.
