2.0 out of 5 stars Amateurish and hardly traditional, September 6, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: A Flavor Of India: A Selection Of Traditional Indian Music (Audio CD)
This artist on this CD is not to be confused with Ali Akbar Khan. Somehow I confused it and ordered the CD. Although Akbar Khan has adequated knowledge of ragas, he does not seem to be able to capture the depth of ragas like Todi and Darbari. I cannot call his playing traditional if what we mean by traditional is something based on a classical understanding of melodic form.

5.0 out of 5 stars hauntingly beautiful, March 31, 2002
By 
Bill Killinger (HARRISBURG, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Flavor Of India: A Selection Of Traditional Indian Music (Audio CD)
-Wow, what a terrific CD. the music is hauntingly beautiful and will weave an exotic spell over the listener. Very traditional music, the relaxing and peaceful kind you would hear at a good Indian restaurant. Perfect background or relaxation music. I love this Cd and play it quite often to wash away the days stresses and escape to an exotic, beautiful place.

4.0 out of 5 stars best sitar i ever heard, April 16, 2001
By 
Mark R. Dobos (Indian Harbour Beach, FL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A Flavor Of India: A Selection Of Traditional Indian Music (Audio CD)
I'm no newcomer to eastern music. The sitar playing on this recording is the best I've heard. It really blew my mind. Spastic best describes it. I truly don't believe this is just for beginners. Shankar doesn't even compare and Ali Akbar Khan is a different style. The tabla, although suitable and adaquate, was modest understandably so due to the level of and the style of the sitar playing. Thats why I gave 4 stars instead of the full 5.
