Negative Positive
Title: Awesome Music, could be more fully developed.
Review: The music on this CD is clearly first-rate. I particularly enjoy the tabla play of the late Pandit Mahapurush Misra. He's a top rate virtuoso with an impeccable sense of rythmn and melody. In fact, his play adds wonders to the overall melody of the music. My one complaint with Signature Series in general is that each rag has a running time of about 30 min. Perphaps this allows more CDs to be sold by not "overwhelming" the listener with too much at one time, but i think this doesnt allow for a full treatment of the ragas. For this reason, I can't say this is among the very best of classical indian music, but certainly it is worth getting nevertheless. It probably would also serve as an excellent intro to classical indian music, as a more extended presentation could very well "overwhelm" many new listeners.
Is the review positive or negative?
