Best Of Indian Sarangi - Ustad Sabri Khan & Kamal Sabri

Advantages: exceptional
Disadvantages: none

...a true genius in his field, ustad vilayat khan has left a rich legacy of his beautiful music. his style of playing was indeed unique to his own gharana (a household of music that students join to learn) that he was the prime representative for. He knows exactly what he must do to make his playing heart breaking and emotionally overwhelming. the raga marwa is a beautiful raga already, and in the hands of such an expert one can really see the flowers of the terrifying raga blossom out. his death is a huge loss to the world of indian music and one can do nothing but admire how he did in his life time what generations have not been able to do. his sons, now playing as well as him reflect his humble attitude to his music and his love for his sitar and equally his voice. he may have passed away but his music will never be forgotten...

Advantages: excellent artist
Disadvantages: none

...Ram Narayan, an expert in the sarangi, is truly a representation of brilliance in his field. not only has he completely mastered the art of the sarangi (a string instrument played with a bow, some what similar to a cello in the style of playing) which in itself is an accomplishment as the sarangi is an awfully challenging instrument, but he has also learnt to render the ragas (musical compositions) and extremely techinical and mathematical taals (rhythmic cycles). Sarangi, i can very confidently say, is an instrument that has the potential for the musician to play his heart out and i would say that ram narayan has done that exactly in this cd. he really knows the in and outs of his ragas and can make a composition finish in 5 minutes or last for 2 hours. this is the mark of a distinguished musician in my opinion. i would reccomend...

Advantages: 3 Disks, 60 Tracks
Disadvantages: Some Good Music / Some Bad

...The Best Disco in Town CD. I bought this cd in ASDA about a month ago and the reason it had attracted my attention was because it had artists on that i liked such as The Jacksons and Kool and the Gang. What also attracted my attention was that the package included 3 cd's with 60 tracks on. Some of the tracks i had never heard before listening to this cd and some i just had to switch because the didn't match my taste in music however most of the i liked. The cd includes 60 track which are listed below: Disc One 1. Good Times-Chic 2. Car Wash-Rose Royce 3. A Night To Remember-Shalamar 4. Disco Inferno-The Trammps 5. Young Hearts Run Free-Candi Staton 6. You Sexy Thing-Hot Chocolate 7. He's The Greatest Dancer-Sister Sledge 8. Boogie Wonderland-Earth, Wind And Fire & The Emotions 9. Blame It On The Boogie-The Jacksons... Read review
