Bhakti Ras - Lakshmi Shankar

Advantages: brilliant
Disadvantages: none

...i can put my hand on my heart and reccomend this to every single one of you out there. Anoushka shankars first album called anourag was fairly dissapointing, it was good but for the daughter of ravi shankar ji i would say that she needed vast improvement. then i heard her album rise and i liked some of it but the fact was that i dispise remix type modern music with such a deep intense music. then this cd came out and i got it. i was soo astonished to see the improvement in her playing. the ragas she plays are brilliant and she is soo talented. i think this is an album that is a must have for all of you especially those who are new to indian music or who have only heard her first cds....

Advantages: good music
Disadvantages: her playing!

...i thought this was a good cd and had good music however, i do think that for the daughter of pt. ravi shankar ji she needs to improve her playing substantially. i was not satisfied with this cd and hardly listen to it. however, i would any day reccomend her other cds. this cd, with her father gave the impression to many people that she relies on her father where the fact is that she is esxtremely talented and just needs to focus. the tracks on this cd are very nice and good compositions but for all you anoushka fans, i reccomend her cd at carnegie hall very highly. i also prefer the album cover of her other cds than this one but still, good try anoushka ;)...
