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.Performed in the same Bremen Sendesaal in which Keith Jarrett's breakthrough Solo-Concerts: Bremen, Lausanne was recorded, Roger Woodward's In Concert profits from a wonderful room ambience playing to the strengths of the Bosendorfer piano, especially on the Debussy Preludes Book II, which opens the album. Played as one piece, with no gaps, it's an impressive feat of sonic shape-shifting, with no interruption to the flow of moods as Woodward progresses from the opening mystery of “Brouillards” to the dramatic conclusion of “Feux D'Artifice”. The enigmatic, courtly charm of three Chopin Mazurkas then leads to another towering delivery, of Bach's Partita No 6, an engrossing web of interlacing lines, featuring an extremely long “Sarabande”.
