Title: Absolute lack of imagination
Product review: Albeit a good recording, L Shankar's Pancha Nadai Pallavi goes to show just how shallow his compositions are. I find that he has played only a few original bits in the aalapanai and has shamelessly repeated them over and over again to form the aalapanai. Perhaps one reason for this is that he missed accompanying stalwart vocalists of carnatic music and has gone on to do other things like jazz music and fusion, thereby losing much of his control over the traditional form of carnatic music.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
