专辑介绍
by Kurt Keefner
Sitar-master Balaram Pathak (the word "Pandit" preceding his name is an honorific meaning "teacher") is part of a dynasty of musicians that now includes his son Vinode Pathak, featured on his father's recording playing tabla. (The third member of the ensemble, Christian Ledoux, who plays tanpura, is mysteriously absent from the cover photo and the liner notes.) The Pandit plays a sitar modified with an extra bridge and two extra frets. These additions sweeten the sitar's tone, but lessen its dynamic power.
There are three ragas on the collection, all between 20 and 25 minutes in length. The alapa or slow, percussionless introductory section of each is very delicate with passages that sound rather like a pedal steel guitar. The faster gata section that concludes each raag is full of inventive improvised technique but is generally less dramatic than most Indian masters. It may be silly to mention, since if there is any influence it runs the way, but at times Pandit Pathak sounds a lot more like a psychedelic guitarist from the 60s!
This disc contains wonderful music in the North Indian classical tradition, and would be suitable not only for enthusiasts of that music, but for those looking for good music to meditate by and for those who are looking for a good source of licks and riffs for their own instrument.
