A remake of the once famous LP "Call of the Valley" by Hari Prasad Chaurasia and Shiv Kumar Sharma ... unfortunately without the presence of Brij Kumar Kabra, ill at the time of the concert.
The DVD in two separate volumes are published by Navras under the name "The Valley recalls" and are live recordings from a concert given at the Nehru Center, Mumbai, december 1995.

NRDVD 006 - "Peace, Love and Harmony" - 3 dhuns of a lighter vein.

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.

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.

In this DVD "The best of the cord", Vishwa Mohan Bhatt - probably the best indian guitarist - plays his "Mohan Veena" - a derived form of Hawaiian guitar, in a live performance, at Jaipur, Birla Auditorium on May 12, 1996.

He develops rags Gavati, Desh, Pahadi and Bhairavi.
This DVD is published in US by Super Digital and may be ordered from their site.

Amjad Ali Khan, "Rag of the Kings", recorded live at the Sarod Festival, New-delhi, december 26th, 1988.

He is accompanied on tabla by Shafaat Ahmad Khan and plays Darbari and Adana. I

ncluded is also an interesting documentary "I sing through my sarod".

This DVD has been published by Navras Records under the reference NRDVD 002 and can be ordered on their site or, among others, on Khazana's site.

I personally regret that the images of Khansaheb's filmed performance has been marred by intermittently showing what looks like a photo album. It is really frustrating not to be able to watch the entire performance ... I just hope they didn't do that for aesthetics (!) but because the original footage was damaged ... A mail to the publishers remained unanswered ...
