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.

Published in 1735, Telemann's Fantasias were long dismissed as music for amateurs and compared unfavourably with Bach's Sonatas and Partitas.

Using a modern but light bow and a mixture of gut and steel strings, Magub's elegant performance reassesses these delicately flavoured miniatures. Telemann's appetite for stylistic experimentation produces some striking textural contrasts, while Magub's decorations are exquisitely understated.
