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.

Exit Vladimir Horowitz, Carnegie Hall 1953 - high-wired speed merchant, keyboard thunderer, exhausted "circus act". Poor man was fit to drop. Enter Vladimir Horowitz, Carnegie Hall 1965, with all the old tricks intact but the maturity to use them musically. The 12 years between witnessed a long sabbatical and a handful of transitional recordings made at Horowitz's home. When CBS first released the 1965 "historic" Carnegie Hall Return Concert, those who had been there raised an eyebrow.
