Classical Music / Update: Screen tests
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.IN among the mass-market junketings at the annual MIDEM music festival in Cannes there is a classical oasis, complete with its own prizes for television productions. This year has turned out to be a good one for the BBC. The Music of Terezin, The Vampyr, Song of the Night (about Szymanowski) and Opera Imaginaire have collected awards or special mentions, and a vote of confidence was placed in the forthcoming 32 Short Films about Glenn Gould, a portrait of the Canadian pianist which will be transmitted on BBC 2 during 1994-95. Edith Piaf fans will be glad that another yet-to-be-seen production, Paris Musette, about the song tradition that inspired her, also made the prize list.
