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.

A strong sense of lyricism and a taut technique colour Sergio Tiempo's live recording of Liszt's Totentanz and Tre Sonetti...and Tchaikovsky's first Piano Concerto.

Though Liszt's use of the "Dies Irae" chant is as subtle as a Hammer horror film, Tiempo and conductor Ion Marin emphasise the dance in Totentanz. Tiempo is a graduate of Martha Argerich's Lugano Project and it shows: the hurtling passions and moments of introversion in the Tchaikovsky are cleverly navigated.
