Navras Records is privileged to bring out this phenomenal performance – The Valley Recalls - on DVD format, having already been the best selling CD title on the Navras Catalogue since its release in 1996. The fact that this performance is a sequel to a blockbuster Call Of The Valley album released in 1967 by EMI has for always marked this as a very significant landmark, not least being after a duration of almost 30 years! The Valley Recalls has moved on to altogether different level of performance and complexity, combining the highest standards of classical rigour (Raga Bhoopali) with breath-taking presentation of a thematic form - improvised, less rigorous and thoroughly enjoyable! The DVD also features an exclusive interview with Pandit Shivkumar Sharma & Hariprasad Chaurasia.

Everybody has gone cross-cultural now. You will have to search hard to find Indian classical musicians who are not involved in playing outside their own box, whether they call it fusion, crossover, or community education. But you sometimes have to wonder about the motivation when the global market is so tempting, and on those occasions you look to the great pioneers to remember the ideals that have driven the whole process of seeking to find common ground with musicians from another tradition. The North Indian Pandit Ravi Shankar and the South Indian Dr L Subramaniam, incontestably at the top end of their respective professional environments, were both early to express visions of international harmony that complement an insatiable musical curiosity, and have maintained them over a period of decades. L. Subramaniam, with his long-standing ventures into composing with Western classical elements - he took a master's degree in the subject at California Institute of Arts - has kept a distinctive profile in this expanding company. The London concert preserved on this DVD, in which this classical Carnatic musician shares the platform with the members of the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO), is one example. (NTSC)

Tracks: Raga Darbari Kanada & Raga Bhairavi

Aritsts: Ustad Vilayat Khan, sitar; Pandit Kishan Maharaj, tabla; Hidayat Khan, sitar
Although this recording is primarily a tribute to Vilayat Khan and his enduring legacy, almost could be written in praise of his accompanist, the tabla master Pandit Kishan Maharaj. Pandit Kishan Maharaj has established himself as one of India's greatest artists, so its fitting that this recording brings together two of the most revered veterans of Indian music. Navras have released both the CD and DVD of the same performance. One of the many noteworthy features of this recording is Vilayat Khan's choice of ragas. Here we have perhaps the grandest and noblest of them all (Darbari Kanada) followed by a favorite among favorites (Bhairavi). Western music lovers might ponder a juxtaposition of the best of Bach followed by the best of Mozart!
