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.We are familiar with the Goldberg Variations played on piano or harpsichord, and transcriptions for strings, organ, guitar and harp; but this is the first Goldberg I've encountered on accordion.
Best known for his performances of new music by such as Holliger, Kagel and Berio, Teodoro Anzellotti here tackles the Variations with a calm, elegant logicality. Extraordinarily, the instrument serves the material surprisingly well, its warm timbre bringing an emotional ambience, while the longer delay-time of the reed notes emphasises how the pieces may have sounded on, say, a harmonium and revealing the folksy origins of the concluding Quodlibet.
