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.Aptly for one whose work so often features in movies, Korcia has chosen popular film music for his EMI debut release, ranging from the rich sentimentality of Morricone's theme for Cinema Paradiso and the worldly languour of Provost's Intermezzo to more diffident, vulnerable interpretations of "Moon River" and "Smile".
He offers homages to old masters, apeing Stephane Grappelli's flamboyant jazz fluidity on the violinist's "Les Valseuses", and following Jascha Heifetz's animated arrangement of Gershwin's blues spiritual "It Ain't Necessarily So", and he attacks Saint-Saëns's "Danse Macabre" with comparable rhythmic gusto. A violin/accordion duet of Lalo Schifrin's Mission: Impossible theme is a tad stiff.
