If you could buy one song from this collection, it should be Dhrupad In Sankara Bharan. It's appropriate for itunes to make this track available only in the album format and not the single as this is the only way to really build up to track six and allow this masterpiece to settle in your chest. What can a western musician say about the masterful connectivity Bhosle and Khan share with us? Masters of phrasing and tone...they invite you to sit with them and enjoy, making you wish they were in front of you live so that all of their trascendant energy could flow around and through you! This is a gem of a recording and one that every western musician needs to listen to and study regardless of your instrument or singing style.

This album is a refreshing blend of Asha's incredible and soulful voice and Ali Akbar Khan's vibrant sarod - covering many traditional compositions. I heard that these songs were taught by the great Acharya Baba Allauddin Khan himself to his son Ali Akbar Khan. Undoubtedly the best album for music lovers who want to get past Bollywood songs deeper into the ocean of Indian classical music. All songs are great - they sit in the mind for a long time. The concluding piece "Prayer In Bhairavi" is a fitting finale to the stream of lively melodies. Sincerely recommended.
