5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Poetry, August 21, 2002
By 
Jeevan "jsiva" (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Music of the Himalayas (Audio CD)
People equate the Himalayas with Tibet, but in fact the foothills are in India. This poetic live performance is not energetic, but it is powerful in its subtlety and movement with fine fingerwork of Rahul Sharma coupled with the gentle rippling percussions in the background. A slow melodious journey in classical North Indian music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing album!, December 5, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Music of the Himalayas (Audio CD)
Rahul Sharma has definitely proven himself as an artist, apart from his illustrious father Pandit Shivkumar Sharma. He is able to take the listener to unbelievable levels through the smooth trickling sounds of the santoor. The mind is calmed and images of the mountains and rivers come forward to bring the listener to a state of peacefulness. The melodies are based off of Sufi music from the valleys of Jammu and Kashmir, some composed by Rahul Sharma himself. These Indian sounds remind us that amidst all the terror and hatred that surfaces in the region, the arts originating from that region bring about the beauty and oneness which is humankind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Music, February 1, 2007
By 
This review is from: Music of the Himalayas (Audio CD)
You cann't believe how fast santoor and tabla can play till you listen to the thrid track.

It's a very soothing, enticing and addicting music. My colleague borrowed it and someone was talking to her, when she was playing it in the background. Needless to say, they both got hooked.

Pakhawaj adds bass and weight to fine rythm and melody.

Must have it...!
