Music reviews of The Raga Cycle, Palace Theatre, Paris 1972: Ragas Shudh Sarang and Kut Todi
Music Review: indescribable, inexpressible
Rating: 5 Stars
I don't know why there are no reviews of this album here.
This is HIGH quality stuff.
Once you've heard and felt something like this you've pretty much reached the top of the mountain and known the fresh air of it.
I know what I feel - Pandit Pran Nath was a special musician. This is not ordinary stuff. This is the highest realization of this music form. It's self-evident.
Whatever performances of Pran Nath's that were recorded should be released as soon as possible. MIDNIGHT - an album featuring two different performances of Raga Malkauns - is another unknown GEM that shows what this musician had within him.
Pran Nath will offer you your humanity. Here is a window through which to see the dignified heights we have within.
Description of The Raga Cycle, Palace Theatre, Paris 1972: Ragas Shudh Sarang and Kut Todi
The Raga Cycle at the Palace Theatre in Paris, 1972 showcased Pandit Pran Nath at the peak of his powers. The Raga Cycle took place over three consecutive days. Friday, May 28th night ragas, Saturday May 29th, late afternoon ragas and Sunday, May 30th morning and mid-day ragas. These three concerts stand as a truly awe-inspiring monument, an example of perfection of the high Art of Hindustani music by one of the greatest masters of the Kirana Gharana. Kirana, a small village north of New Delhi, produced many of the giants of Indian classical vocal music. Among them, Ustad Abdul Waheed Khansahib, Pran Nath-ji's guru, and the immensely popular Ustad Abdul Kareem Khan. One of the undeniable beauties of Indian Classical Music is its strong connection to nature and especially the binding relationship of Raga melodies to their appropriate time of day. An elegant curve of melody, a subtle lowering of pitch, or an assertiveness attached to a particular note helps to define the effect of a Raga. There are Ragas for all the times of day and night as well as seasons, and when they are sung at their appropriate time their effectiveness is noticeably enhanced. Pandit Pran Nath's knowledge of this musical science was extraordinary and he made it his life's work to probe deeply with his expressive voice the true character of each raga using his matchless pitch discrimination and compelling emotional range.International CDs
