Ravi Shankar and Alla Rakha come together Advantages: One of the most passionate performances of Ravi Shankar Disadvantages: none at all The notes of HOMAGE TO MAHATMA ,was composed on the spot by Ravi Shankar while taking part in a Radio broadcast, soon after MAHATMA GANDHI was assasinated in 1948,but the music was recorded much later in the 70's..and the album made 10 years later in 1981. This is Hindustani Classical music at its best.

Introducing... Warsaw Village Band ~ 'Uprooting' Advantages: Exciting; unique; passionate; challenging Disadvantages: Well, it's in Polish, so some may find that a disadvantage... In recent years, the little-known Warsaw Village Band have risen from obscurity to earn some much deserved recognition, playing several high-profile festivals including Glastonbury 09, and even clinching the Best Newcomer award at the BBC Radio 3 World Music Awards in 2004. 'Uprooting' is a fine example of the band's capability, and also of their potential to grow and continue. Comprising six young musicians from Poland's capital, the band blend ... ...passionate and hypnotising set of tracks which should be essential listening for any music fan. I had the honour of first hearing the band when they performed at Musicport Festival 2008, a very surreal experience indeed as they were supporting Rolf Harris! Their set consisted of many of the tracks from 'Uprooting'. The performance put on by the band was both aurally and visually stunning, in part due to their incorporation in their music of many ... littlewiggle 25.11.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Uprooting - Warsaw Village Band	Originality Lyrics Quality and consistency...

'JOANNA...A Hymn of Devotion Advantages: incredibly underrated music very well produced and presented Disadvantages: none ...Devotion’ James Young's Joanna was made on the battered upright piano in his house - an instrument most pianists would reject without a moment's hesitation. Bad pianos - in pubs, bars, clubs, cafes and the parental home - are the bane of musicians and music teachers: the sustain pedal doesn't work; the felts are worn; mezzopiano is indistinguishable from fortissimo. And that's before you get on to the problem of keeping it in tune. Players develop ... ...wisdom on its head. Joanna is a hymn of devotion that both dignifies and delights in his old piano's imperfections. As Billy Jenkins wrote in Notes on Crap Pianos: "Years of warp and deterioration have ripened each mechanical artefact into its own unique sound. Do not attempt music scored for a good piano." Young describes his piano as "a ready-made that needed to be celebrated for its intrinsic peculiarities". There are antecedents: Virginia Astley's ...

"Remembering The Day", thought provoking and uplifting music!

In some of her songs she combines her mesmerizing violin sound with a choir, that adds an ethereal quality to the song. I love it! If you like Deep Forest, Enigma, Delirium or classical crossover artists like Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli you might love this one. Worth the money...
