Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars One of my top 10 albums of all time.......2007-01-29

I love this disc. I heard it first about 15 years ago, and only listen to it a few times a year, but it still remains one of my favorites. Shankar is amazing, and his performance on this album is masterful. I saw him and Zakir Hussain perform Pancha Nadai Pallavi live in Seattle in 1992 and it was transcendental!!

5 out of 5 stars love shankarabharanam ragam.......2005-11-01

a beautiful set from Shankar in ragam shankarabharanam ~ i would suggest not playing this often but occasionally ~ a must have in my opinion.

5 out of 5 stars music to make you thoughtless.......2004-04-13

An amazing performance on an extraordianry instrument. I have heard one of Shankar's other Ragam recordings, but this is the one that did it for me. Every time Shankar's melodic line soars upwards, higher and higher, the Kundalini (Motherly energy that flows along the parasympathetic nervous system) seems to respond by rising ever higher every time. Destined to put you in the state of thoughtless awareness. For a bit of extra help, go to www.freemeditation.com

5 out of 5 stars after listening you will re-emerge floating.......2003-01-18

If ragas take you to an otherworldly place then you will not be disappointed with this gem. Buy it, play it sparingly and at choice times and your spiritual growth will be enhanced.

5 out of 5 stars FULL-RANGING, SOARING VIRTUOSITY.......2001-06-13

L. Shankar shows himself on this recording to be a master of both composition and his instrument -- a custom-made, double necked, 10-string violin capable of covering the range from violin to cello. Accompannied by Indian percussion masters Zakir Hussain on tabla and Vikku Vinayakram on ghatam, he takes the listener on an amazing, nearly 1-hour journey into the heart and soul of Indian classcal music. In his hands, the violin sings with the voice of divine inspiration, articulating more than a melody as it nudges and pulls our minds along on its journey. The effect of his vocalizing along with his instrument is absolutely transporting.

Shankar's work with John McLaughlin's ensemble Shakti is legendary -- the interplay in that group between his violin and McLaughlin's unbelievable guitar outpourings was enough to take the listener's breath away. On this, as on his other recordings as a leader, his light shines brighter than ever. ECM's production and recording quality is at its usual high level here, letting nothing stand between this incredible music and the ears of the listener.

Indian culture has a tradition of deep spirituality that goes back for thousands of years -- and their music has always played an integral role in their spiritual quest. There is a yearning in this music that comes from deep within the soul of the musician, reaching toward god, and, thankfully, touching us along the way.
