Music reviews of Ragas
Music Review: Don't worry about sound quality.
Rating: 4 Stars
First of all, "Music Fan from Alabama" is way too picky about sound quality. The sound on this CD may be a bit "dated" by "modern" standards, but it sounds just fine. The main point is that any minor concerns about sound quality are far outweighed by a truly treasurable and rare collaboration of two legendary musicians performing jugalbandi (duet). This is one of the very first recordings of Indian Music that I ever purchased (currently about 200 of my 3000 CD's are in this genre), and it is still one of my very favorites. Fantasy's presentation could be better, i.e. they should give a little more information about the historical recordings themselves, in addition to the melodramatic canned liner note dissertation about Indian Music, but this is still an essential CD for anyone who is interested in North Indian classical music. Track one, for example, is one of the most atmospheric and soulful recorded performances of Indian instrumental music one will ever hear, and is a glowing example of two musicians sounding as if they are of one mind (after all, Ravi Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan did have the same guru: Khansahib's father, the legendary Baba Allaudin Khansahib). The word "raga," in sanskrit, means "that which colors the mind," and these performances are a glowing example of that. If you are interested in starting a collection of Indian music, this will be one of the first few CD's you will want to purchase.
