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.Schoenberg first orchestrated Brahms' Piano Quartet No 1 because he felt that the pianist had a tendency to drown out the small string section.
It's now so popular, it may be better known in its orchestrated incarnation than its original form. This, Rattle's second recording of it, following his 1985 reading with the City of Birmingham Symphony, is full of dash and gusto, especially during the concluding Rondo alla Zingarese. Elsewhere, the "Accompaniment to a Cinematographic Scene" offers a peek at the complex musical dramaturgy furnished by dissonant developments of the composer's later career.
