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.

Born in 1963, Austrian composer Thomas Larcher has an ear for alluring textures and unexpected contrasts.

"Böse Zellen" recalls John Cage's works for prepared piano. "Still", for viola and chamber orchestra, sees Paganini and Bernard Herrman dance a brief passacaglia, while "Madhares" is a riveting debate between ancient and modern, art and folk. Dynamic control is excellent, the performances of Till Fellner, Kim Kashkashian, Quatuor Diotima and the Munich Chamber Orchestra under Dennis Russell Davies simply immaculate.
