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.Though Janácek provides the title for Ivana Gavric's recital, Schubert is its centrepiece.
From the fierce isolation of his A minor Sonata to the fractured, rocking motifs of In the Mists (written after the death of Janácek's daughter Olga), the easy glamour of Rachmaninov's Moments Musicaux Opus 16 and the hyperventilating confessions of Liszt's Three Petrarch Sonnets, Gavric seems drawn to the points at which sunshine and shadow converge. The sound is cool, the phrasing carefully considered and imaginatively voiced.
