Here we have a release from EMI dating from 1972 featuring three new Ragas created by Ravi Shankar (admittedly by slightly altering existing Ragas). It is is this depth and richness which will allow him to continue to hold a spell on the world of Indian Classical Music for the remainder of my lifetime. There is a depth of emotion and richness of compositions in Raviji's playing which is evident to both newcomers and professionals alike. However, there is more than just technical skills which can melt a heart or make a friend. Also, brilliantly gifted musicians such as the great sitarist Vilayat Khan never (to my knowledge) publicly admitted to being impressed by Raviji's technical skills. I have sadly heard this envy in personal conversations. Needless to say, those not blessed with monikers such as "senior disciple of Ravi Shankar" or just "student of Raviji" can sometimes hold some inexplicable envy in their minds. Those tales will have to wait, especially because I am trying to stay incognito with this blog. Oh, I could tell tales of how the merest mention of Raviji's name or the name of his Foundation has opened dozens of doors to concert promotors for particular musicians on tour in the U.S. Even almost fours years after his death, his name can summon up tremendous amounts of energy and power. Some people in the world of Indian Classical Music resent the continued popularity of Raviji. Here is a very nice collection of compositions by the great Ravi Shankar. "Paniyinvintuli" hymn in Raga Senjuruti in Kanda Duruvam Taal "Etijanmamiti" song by Thyragaraja in Raga Varali in Misra Chapu Taal (16:31) "Saramaira" song in Raga Behag in Rupak Taal (3:20) "Garudaghamana" kriti in Raga Nagaswarali in Rupak Taal (14:09) "Virabhoni" varnam in Raga Bhairavi in Kanda Ata Taal (oddly enough, not the concluding piece) (5:19) Although there sometimes was a rare dud in their catalog, in general you can be pretty certain of a high level of musical and production qualities with any World Pacific release. This label grew out of Pacific Records, which was a jazz label.
CLICKREPAIR FLAC SERIES
This is one of a series of LPs released on the World Pacific label. Tanjore Viswanathan (born in Madras, India, Augdied in Hartford, Connecticut, United States, September 10, 2002) was a Carnatic musician specializing in the Carnatic flute and voice. No information was lost in this cropping. On anything but a very large screen the back cover would look too much like a white square, if I had not performed the cropping. I did not reproduce the entire back cover because it was completely white except for the hard-to-read section which is pictured below. Very little in the way of sound restoration was needed - just a nice 20 minute dip in the ultrasonic cleaner and a few clicks removed using Audacity's "repair" function from the beginning of each side. This LP captures a lively performance of Raga Lalit and was in superb physical condition. He was awarded the Padma Shree and has been part of several very memorable recording sessions. Tabla maestro Suresh Talwalkarwas born in 1948. I will ask some of my inside sources about why they think this might be. Unfortunately, his career seemed to stall out a little in the late 1980s and especially the 1990s - at least in terms of internationally available CDs. Brij has made an appearance in this blog in the past. He was about age 27 when this recording was made.
Here is another delightful album from the French label Stil, who released a very high quality run of eastern and western classical LPs in the 1970s and 80s.īrij Narayan(born April 25, 1952) is the oldest son of sarangi player Ram Narayan.
