Rag Bhimpalasi - Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia

Advantages: HIS sitar can control your heart and soul, lovely music
Disadvantages: comprises of only four tracks

...SITAR SOUL is like foreever kind of a music which really opens the hidden truth of life by bringing mental peace to your mind. I think Ravi shankar is capable and even famous for Composing Music which is not composed by rules.No doubt his music is inexpressible Im a DIE HARD fan of Pandit Ravi Shankar ,after silence the next thing which comes to my mind is his SITAR.I feel this is one of his best creations.Raga Mishra Kafi and Raga Mian Ki Malhar are my favourites among all tracks. SITAR played by him in this album really kills the silence.Im pretty sure that SOUL OF SITAR will definately going to touch everybody's soul ,after all its straight from Pandit ji's heart & soul. God bless you Pandit ji.... Read review

Advantages: great violinist
Disadvantages: none

...this woman is truly amazing. at quite a young age comparitivly, she has established herself in a field where very few people have comitted themselves. being one of the few hindustani violinists she has truly broken ice for many other artists. also, she is so talented that she learns from the master vocalist pandit Jasraj ji. i read some where that when she was younger, it was all practise, no play. in her playing it shows that she is truly very developed and unique in her own way with amazing qualities as a violinist. kala ramnath is a true female ambassabor for hindustani classical music of the recent generation. i truly beilieve we have much more to expect of her in the soon future....

Advantages: AMAZING!
Disadvantages: none

...What can i say! Pandit Ravi Shankarji is an absolute legend. Having met him twice I have had the experience of meeting a true guru of music. This cd is what you can really call world global fusion. Its a lovely blend of all sorts of music but it also has some indian classical tracks such as track 5 which happens to be my absolute favourite! i love it to bits. The whole thing is very well orchestrated. The music is also astheitically pleasing and there are some good on the go tracks for car/ train journeys! :D This cd is an amazing blend of indian modes and scales with western ideaology and orchestration but the combination is so well done that the result blows you away. I would definately reccomend this to anyone who is interested in world music. Also, it is great for people learning about orchestration or fusion.... Read review
