4.0 out of 5 stars
Best Indian music discography but hardly "complete",
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Discography of Hindustani and Karnatic Music (Discographies) (Hardcover)
This is an indispensable resource for those interested in the large number of LP and 7 inch (45s) records containing music from India. This discography includes both instrumental and vocal music and Hindustan and Carnatic styles. The material is arranged by the above categories and the artists who performed in the respective categories of Indian music between 1955 and 1983. The compiler has made a great effort to list cross referenced recordings. Quite a few of the major artists had specific selections appear on multiple lps. In some cases lps were concurrently issued in the US and India or Europe. Unfortunately there is no alternate index by record series so one must know the artist rather than the record number to look up a recording. Somewhat confusingly the lists are arranged by artist first name rather than last; e.g. Ravi not Shankar.
It is however necessary to dispute the product description of this book as in any way "complete". The discography is probably more complete for US and European pressings of Indian music than Indian pressings. Even I have a number of Indian music lps of the 60s and 70s not listed here issued by EMI India (the largest record company in India - not at all obscure). |
