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.

The turmoil of the opening movement of Dvorak's Seventh Symphony has rarely sounded so thrilling.

The Budapest Festival Orchestra's cellos and double basses bite into this work with panther-like agility, while the upper strings and woodwind collude in this heroic depiction of the Bohemian landscape. Ivan Fischer balances vigour with softness, bringing a voile-like transparency and tenderness to the Andante of the American Suite: Dvorak's somewhat chintzy orchestration of his Piano Suite in A major.
