Manufacturers Need to Get It Together!!!.......2006-02-22

I'm a huge fan of Carnatic music and the playing of L. Subramaniam in particular. Imagine my dismay when I unwrapped the CD, put it in my CD player, and discovered that the disc inside was not that advertised by the external packaging but was of Canadian folk music!!!!! I'm reluctant to purchase another disc from Nonesuch on the basis of this.

Doctor! Doctor! Another home run. Beautiful job maestro........2005-04-12

This is one of the best CDs you can get on the Carnatic violin genere. The ragas are exquisite and Subramaniam's playing is sensitive and robust. I found the Ragam rendered beautifully. This CD is even better than his Maestro's Choice which was released in 2004 by Living Media India Ltd.

If you want to experience some great violin music get this CD.

This is as good as it could possibly get.......2004-03-03

This CD defines tastes, intelligence, control, musicality, creativity, and performance excellence. Subramaniam's mastery is confirmed in these revelatory ragas, revelatory in the vision that they impart and also as a demonstration of his amazing ability. It's Dr. Subramaniam all alone. No tabla. No guest artists from the jazz world. Just solo violin against a gentle backdrop of tamboura. You hear see it all here. This CD clearly shows why he is one of the world's greatest violinists, regardless of category. A must for any serious listener of Indian music.

Ahh...to experience Nirvana!.......2001-07-12

One of the best albums featuring Carnatic music as defined and exposed by the Violin, of Dr L Subramaniam. The raga Vasantapriya ("Dear to Spring") is very close contextually to raga Vasantha ("Chettinadu Chinna Magane"). Beautifully rendered in brilliant style by the rebel, this is one of those CDs I'd never think about before recommending. Even a casual listener, one who may not have an iota of understanding of Music, per se, would be amazed by the depth, complexity, tonal beauty, language, and the dexterous handling of the difficult-to-master instrument of listening pleasure. That the raga Sarasvatipriya is not the same as raga Sarasvati, with a bit of modification in the Ragam Tanam Pallavi, as one goes through the entire stretch of the piece, would be obvious. But nobody minds - it's pure magic, performed by the best magician there is.

Soulful...........2000-03-30

Another soulful raaga rendering by the virtuoso. Sarasvatipriya seemed more close to the raaga Sarasvati than Vasatapriya was to the raaga Vasantha. I found several phrases almost same as in his album Sarasvati, which is an RTP in Sarasvati. Swara scale and differences are clearly enunicated in the CD cover. If you are looking for a soft and soulful violin recording without the mathematics of an RTP, then this is a good buy.
