Indian Classical music from the musical ambassador of India. from the notes: recorded at peaks of his creativity they include several very rare full-length performances, previously unreleased on CD & from the notes: “Thousands of Ragas have come into being with new ones still being created. All of them are associated with different times of day and night, seasons, and ceremonial occasions. They all have an individual and principal mood such as tranquility, loneliness, eroticism, heroism, etc., and the performer is encouraged to give his own interpretation.” All tracks**** CD #1 1: 7:45 fast fast tabla, fast sitar, from 1982 2: 19:47 slow noodling (Ravi on sarod) intro. then fast sarod accom. by Ali Akbar Khan on sarod. also tabla & tamboura (4 to 6 strings >> the drone ) from 1965 3: 22:11 drone slow noodling (Alap) & Jor (a continuation of Alap but with an element of rhythm), Ravi Shankar solo, from 1988 4: 9:11 sitar tabla & tamboura, mellow, moves to fast, from 1962 5: 6:23 goes in hyper drive in no time, sitar & tabla, from 1968 CD #2 1: 22:00 a morning raga, slow noodling (Ravi on sitar) intro. then sparse tabla @ 6 min. slow noodling then @ 9 min picks up a small bit, a nice mellow raga, faster at end (Jhala) from 1973 2: 23:18 long Alap, slow noodling (Ravi on sitar) Jor at 17 min. from 1967 3: 24:33 short Alap then Jor, sitar, tabla & tamboura, wonderful string plucking, faster at end (Jhala) from 1967 D Farrell 04/2010 | ||
