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.On Voices Of Bach, the Berlin Philharmonic's principal oboist Albrecht Mayer adapts the vocal melodies of Bach's cantatas to fit his instrument.
In Concerto for Oboe, several cantatas have been combined to create a new piece, elsewhere the Concerto for Oboe D'Amore features oboe lines transcribed from flute and soprano voice. There is also a series of shorter cantatas: the familiar undulating air of "Jesu bleibet meine Freude" is elevated by Mayer's oboe, while the chorale parades around his line; in "Sei Lob und Preis mit Ehren", the oboe tiptoes in and around the chorale. Overall, a well-realised alliance of simpatico voicings.
