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.Ludovico Einaudi occupies the often disparaged space that used to be the preserve of new-age music, situated midway between classical music's studied restraint and pop's eager melodicism.
His two solo piano "Snow Preludes" here nod to the likes of Satie and Chopin, and Keith Jarrett's improvisations, while the cello and piano negotiations of "The Crane Dance" are conducted with pastoral delicacy. Elsewhere, the chamber arrangements of tracks such as "In Principio" and "Nightbook" incorporate gently chugging cello, marimba and subtle wisps and warbles of electronic noise alongside Einaudi's crepuscular piano figures.
