5.0 out of 5 stars Bollywood meets classical, December 5, 2001

An absolutely stunning collaboration, with percussion by Swapan Chaudhuri. Asha Bhosle, who is one of India's most famous singers, is best known for her numerous popular filmi recordings (Indian soundtracks). Here however, she luxuriates in the classical world, beautifully capturing the spiritual richness of several devotional compositions, music that has been in Ali Akbar Khan's family for several centuries. A gorgeous album which is strongly recommended for listeners who may have had trouble finding Indian vocal music that is accessible to their ears.

5.0 out of 5 stars A majestic creation that is atonce divine and exquisite!, July 11, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Legacy (Audio CD)

Ali Akbar Khan undertook a monumental task in creating this album of 16th century music. Asha Bhosle, the seasoned and talented Indian singer has painstakingly and meticulously rendered the vocal music in this CD in accordance with the tradition and the times that the music originated from. Asha's pure voice and the sound of Ali Akbar Khan's sarod blend to create the most haunting lyrics and taranas imaginable. ND
