Product Description

Amazon.com essential recording

This 1960s classic is a perfect introduction not only to Ravi Shankar's brilliant work on the sitar, but also to classical Indian music in general. Shankar offers brief, informative explanations of Indian ragas, scales, rhythms, song structures, and time signatures to set the stage for each spiritual piece he, Chatur Lal (tabla), and N.C. Mullick (tamboura) perform. Though Western listeners may not be able intellectually to pinpoint the subtle purposes of the various ragas' rhythms and movements, unconsciously listeners will feel them vividly. For instance, the plodding tension created by the 2/3/2/3 rhythm in "Máru-Bihág" well reflects the raga's poetic metaphor of separated, longing lovers. The loose, playful improvisation on "Sindhi-Bhairavi" mirrors the passionate romance of lovers. Overall, classical Indian music is diverse and complex, but The Sounds of India simplifies it beautifully for those interested in exploring it and its greatest ambassador. --Karen Karleski

5.0 out of 5 stars ぜひお買いください, 2005/4/10
このレビューの引用元: The Sounds of India (CD)
ラヴィ・シャンカールのCDはいろいろとありますから迷いますね。欧米で最
もよく知られた北インド古典音楽のシタール奏者なので、CDがきわめて多い
からです。私は、ラヴィ・シャンカールのものは、よく聴きましたが、この
CDは、彼の作品のなかでも最上級だと思います。お買い得な価格設定になっ
ていますから、まずはこのCDから聴かれてみては如何でしょうか。

なお、本格的なインド古典音楽よりも、NEW AGE風のものが良いと言う方は、
Philip Glass & Ravi Shankar のPassageか
Ravi Shankar ProjectのTana Mana をお勧めします。

5.0 out of 5 stars 素敵です, 2004/12/4

このレビューの引用元: The Sounds of India (CD)
音楽活動に関して、感銘を受けた人たちが作った
NGOが存在する「ラビ・シャンカール」のCDである。
この人の有名どころはやはり「シタール」という楽器。
インド聖歌の真髄を創り出したとは驚きである。
音はというと、エンヤのように押し付けがましくなく、
(ファンのかたすみません…)
女子十二楽坊のように、商売の香りがなく、
(ファンのかたすみません…)
姫神のように、輪郭がはっきりしているわけではない。
(ファンのかたすみません…)
そもそもシタールという楽器自体が、
それほど演奏者が多くなく、比較対照するのが難しいのだが、
それでも、日本人が大好きな、
「インドはこんなにすごくて、壮大で偉大なんだぞぉ~」
っていうのは、すごく感じられる。
ここまでお茶らけて書いているが、
内容は、間違いなく確かである。
ジョージハリスンと、二人でインドの古典をやった人…
それだけでも聴き応えはある。
