A musical glimpse of eternity
There are better Shankar's out there and even the real thing. However I grew up with this one. Well the vinyl version. Something seems different about the CD. I can not quite put my finger on it. It may just be that twenty yeas past. pHowever I still play this while writing reviews; it helps me to focus. It is like my security blanket or the old Ford pickup. It is there. pThere are seven pieces each has its own personality and they do not blend that well. On the other hand it is not monotonous. The two musical structures intertwine and you are part. We hear the structure of western musical disciplines applied to Indian instruments. Shankar and Menuhin were very popular in their time; yet this very recording spans time and we can still get wrapped up and carried away today.
