Music-possessed
World Space Radio plays this deep into the night on Gandharva channel sometimes. It is a piece of music that is haunting me - last 5 months, and i've been searching everywhere for it. The internet mysteriously has references to it, but when I get to the sites, it talks of everything else but that piece.
It's sitar player debu chaudhuri's kaushi kanhara (alap, jod, jhala, vilambit gat and drut gat). It is the most magical piece of music I have heard in a long time - and I've heard much magical music. There is love, patience, restlessness, complaint, understanding, resolution, all kinds of things in this masterful piece. The raag is a lovely one, but he's brought so much complexity and nuance to it that it stands in a class of its own, his rendition.
HMV brought it out and i think has not gone CD with it.
I will cook and serve a gourmet meal to anyone who finds this for me. And of course pay you whatever it cost you to acquire the music, guys!
look, look, please look.
I'm trying to see if pandit debu himself has it in his own recordings...but that's a long shot.
