Exquisite renditions of seminal numbers ...
7 Sep 2000
By Kersi Von Zerububbel
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This CD consists of a chock full of superb music. I was greatly moved by the HORI and TARANA numbers. The harmonium and cello, yes cello, interventions are consistent with the music. Nothing more need be said regarding Ali Akbar Khan's sarode interludes - they are just fantastic. Asha Bhosle's voice and intonations are better than in the past when there was a tendency to screech through certain passages. One caveat though - there is a noticeable hiss on this recording. However, this does not deter from making this a must have CD for your collection.

Brilliant Mistake
17 July 2004
By Ian Belcher
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
I ordered this CD expecting something else (perhaps I didn't scrutinize the description well enough?) and upon opening the package and reading what it was I thought I would be dissapointed; I was wrong.
This truly is beautiful music; despite what these very picky purists feel about it. I have always thought Asha's voice was great and she keeps that up on this release. There is not much in terms of improv for Ali Akbar Khan, as he is mostly keeping as accompanyment to the vocal but it is a great combination; especially when things speed up. The instrumentation, mixing, and everything about the production of this CD is perfect; no complaints. I say that being a former record production major with my very scrutinizing ears.
The highlights of this cd (for me at least) are Chaudhury's tabla playing, and the way the cello compliments this style of music so beautifully.
If you are an STRICT purist for north Indian classical music this might not be for you, however, if you are a bit more open-minded about your music and would just like to hear some wonderfully asthetic and deep sounds then I would highly reccomend this.

Not for core classical souls
13 July 2004
By S. Bondale
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
I bought this for Asha Bhosle. Her thumri renditions were disappointing in Shyam Benegal's Sardari Begum, I was hoping for a positive change. While I still cherish this compilation, in terms of its classical value it does not go much far.
