RECORDS / The IoS Playlist: The five best records of the moment
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.Venetian Vespers. Gabrieli Consort & Players / McCreesh (Archiv, CD only). Swashbuckling period re-creation of what you might have heard at St Mark's
in 1643. Michael White
Donizetti: Lucia di Lammermoor. Studer / Domingo / LSO / Marin (DG, CD only). Cheryl Studer confronts the legend of La Sutherland. Strong support from the delectable Jennifer Larmore. MW
David Baerwald: Triage (A&M, CD/tape). Strange, spooky tales in imaginative art-rock settings. RW
Sting: Ten Summoner's Tales (A&M, CD/LP/tape). Sting has made a great pop album. To find it, buy this, play it, tape the tracks you like instantly (there should be seven), and prepare to spend the week humming 'Love is Stronger than Justice'. Tim de Lisle
Ice-T: Message to the Soldier (Virgin, album track on Home Invasion). Hushed, sexy and understandably paranoid, Ice-T rallies the troops round his standard of truth and justice. BT
