Ravi Shankar

The first DVD "Between two worlds", is a documentary on his life with some ince archives.

The second is called "Live in Concert" - from a performance at Union Chapel, London, 2002. He plays 2 rags: Anand Kalyan and Rangeela Piloo. Unfortunately, he is not at his best and he plays in duet with his daughter Anoushka Shankar. No comment.

There is also a short introduction on Indian Music and sitar.

Rag Mangal Bhairav
Jhaptal - Teental

An excellent DVD of Shahid Parvez on sitar, accompanied by Anindo Chatterjee. Recorded live in Melbourne, 2002.

He plays a 90' Bageshree (Alap, Vilambit Teental, Madhya Laya Ektal, Drut Teental). As everyone knows, Shahid's technique is flawless and listening to Anindoji is always a treat.

DVD Image is of good quality and mastering as been well done. One drawback : it's a pity that the image of Misra Bhairavi Dadra has been cut off for writing credits. The dhun is superb, in Rais Khansaheb's vein.
It may be ordered on the web.

DVD - Navras NRDVD 012-P (PAL)
When time stood still

Vilayat Khan
Kishan Maharaj
Live at the Royal Festival Hall
London, April 14th, 2002

Rag Darbari
Alap, Vilambit & Drut Teental

Rag Bhairavi
Alap & Madhya Laya Teental
Total duration 85:00

This Navras published DVD is a must for all lovers of the two veterans. In Darbari, Khansaheb plays a very fine Alap - but no Jod and sings in the Drut. He is accompanied by his son, Hidayat while he plays alone in Bhairavi. It's a real delight to hear Maharaji's Banaras tabla style.

A superb DVD of Vilayat Khan "Different Strokes" Live in concert at the Royal Festival Hall, London, 1993 in which Khansaheb's plays Hamir accompanied by Sabir Khan on tabla.

This jewel is published by the London based famous Navras Records under the reference NRDVD 001. You may order it through their site or from Khazana.

A must.
