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.This splendid compilation anthologises some of the varied approaches to baroque music recorded by Stefan Winter's groundbreaking label over the last dozen or so years, from Aitor Hevia's blend of virtuosity and rough bowing on part of The Four Seasons' "Winter", to the mix of harpsichord, theorbo and baroque guitar used by Forma Antiqva on a Kapsberger "Passacaglia". Some idea of the album's breadth can best be gained from the diverse approaches to "The Goldberg Variations" alone, which range from the furtive, stalking pizzicato cello of Ernst Reijseger, to the accordion of Teodoro Anzellotti, and the semi-improvised jazz piano over viol quartet conjured up by pianist Uri Caine without unduly trangressing the piece's essence.
