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 is an interesting reversal of roles in the first release of Mark Padmore and Paul Lewis’s series of Schubert song cycles for HM.
Here Padmore is the scene-setter, forfeiting conventional beauty of tone in an arrestingly frayed performance that conveys the anguish of Wilhelm Müller’s dislocated protagonist. At times, his singing borders onSprechstimme, while Lewis’s articulation, phrasing and voicing is rapt and lyrical. The balance between voice and piano is exceptional, the interpretation bold and complex.
