Music reviews of Chants Of India: Ravi Shankar; George Harrison
Music Review: George Harrison + Ravi Shankar = Bliss
Rating: 5 Stars
George produced this recording of sacred Indian chants at Ravi's request. It was recorded at George's home.
George believed that chanting could bring a person (any person) to know God, even to see Him/Her/It/All That Is. So this recording was very special to George and Ravi.
Ravi is one of the few remaining musicians in this world who was taught that Music is an expression of God, by God, and for God, and by extension, for all of us.
When Ravi plays music you know it is something special.
This recording is very special.
It is also very beautiful, relaxing, and you should hear it often.
Description of Chants Of India: Ravi Shankar; George Harrison
Mantram is Ravi Shankar's effort to set Sanskrit chants from ancient Hindu scriptures to music, and the result is a captivating mix of chant and music. Produced by George Harrison, this collection of mantras and prayers from the Vedas, Upanishads, and other scriptures powerfully transports the listener to a place of peace where it's possible to be one with the universe. It's as if a heavy, enveloping cloak of serenity falls from the dark, floating sounds of cello opening the CD. Shankar employs flute, tamboura, harp, and other instruments to accent the mighty "Om" thread that weaves itself through the cloth of this album, bringing together deep, ominous voices with delicate, earthly instruments. One looking for extensive Shankar sitar might be disappointed, but the beauty of this artist's creativity and spiritual vision sweeps one away into a larger, more meaningful listening experience. Highly recommended. --Karen KarleskiGeneral CDs
