5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning, beautiful music from Nepal, September 20, 2002

An absolutely gorgeous, lushly melodic album. Fans of Indian classical may find this familiar -- yet oddly dissimilar. Although the instruments are similar -- sitar, tabla and flute -- the music is not quite as langourous and deliberative; this has a more pronounced melodic drive which may actually make it more accessible to Western ears. Wonderful stuff. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Harmony, complexity, beauty, sensuality and fluidy of Nepal, April 24, 1999

Finding a way to remember Nepal. Pictures, encounters, scenery, atmosphere continually evoking harmony and tranquillity every hour of the day as I travelled winding roads through mountains, hills and over southern plains. This the music that evokes and expresses the images of the life and beauty, the people and their spirits that I sought, saw and seek to retain. I will listen to this music forever, swaying within its pulsating geographies and cultures and be uplifted and enthralled by the layers of rhythm. This is Nepal played and presented in sound and images that are direct and welcoming connections to the soul.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nepal never sounded so good., August 29, 1998

I came across this album almost by accident in Kathmandu. It has ever since been my favorite subcontinent recording. Many other "Indian type" recordings become tiresome. That won't happen with Sur Sudha. The rhythms can be hypnotic without being boring. You won't be disappointed.
