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.To mark Glenn Gould's 80th birthday, Gidon Kremer commissioned new arrangements by contemporary composers of some of the late pianist's signature Bach pieces.
This gives us the chance to hear strings, harpsichord, and even marimba, ascending that most logical of musical staircases in excerpts from The Well-Tempered Clavier, as well as a gorgeous adaptation for solo violin and strings of the F minor Cembalo Concerto's slow movement. There are also two enchanting versions of the opening Aria from the Goldberg Variations, with Georgs Pelecis' string arrangement creating a delicate meniscus of sound.
