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.Nicola Benedetti believes that film music is the primary contemporary conduit for classical or orchestral music.
This is is not the same thing as the primary conduit for contemporary classical music, with only the likes of Roeg and Kubrick daring to step outside the kind of lush emotional ballast provided by the film pieces collected here, which shrink the distance between Shostakovich, Williams and Korngold. The latter's Violin Concerto, built around his Oscar-winning score for Anthony Adverse, is the centrepiece. But the most interesting pieces are Gardel's playful tango from Scent Of A Woman, "Por Una Cabeza", and excerpts from Howard Shore's score to Eastern Promises, the most adventurous work here.
