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.

Not bad going for a pianist dead now for six decades, you might think, and you'd be right. It's the latest "Re-Performance®" from the folks at Zenph® using computer analysis of Rachmaninoff's touch, timing and pedalling characteristics from earlier recordings, replayed back on a period Steinway fitted with some form of Disklavier playback hardware. It's extraordinary to hear the Étude-tableaux and Prelude in C-sharp minor without the timbral restrictions of primitive equipment.
