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.Recorded at concerts in Munich, Frankfurt and Berlin, this two-disc set is Jessye Norman's own appraisal of her musical life, from spirituals through jazz and show-tunes, with "Habanera" from Carmen the sole indication that she has a classical background.
But her training is inescapable: the a cappella spiritual "His Eye Is On The Sparrow" is too tightly strapped into its conservatoire corset, while a truncated "Somewhere" from West Side Story is delivered with excessive gusto. She's much more relaxed on "My Baby Just Cares For Me" and "Stormy Weather", easing open the emotion, rather than forcing it out; and her "Mack The Knife" is superb.
