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.

Like Dinastia Borgia, this eight-CD set offers a musical representation of a historical process, in this case the continent-wide waves of religious dissent that rippled across Europe between the 16th and 18th centuries.

The mostly choral music is organised into individual discs detailing how the changes were treated in each territory: the work of Tallis, Byrd and Purcell in England, Sweelinck and Van Eyck in the Low Countries, Frescobaldi and Palestrina in Italy etc. Sourced from a wide range of ensembles including the Tallis Scholars and Vox Luminis, with much newly-recorded material, it's a hugely impressive achievement that serves to fill in the stages leading up to the great Bach cantatas.
