Description

Devotional songs in dialects of Hindi have been a vibrant part of north Indian culture for half a millennium, and names such as Mira Bai, Tulsidas, Kabir and Raidas have echoed through temples and homes from generation to generation. These songs — called pada or bhajan — are the medium through which the eternal teachings of religion are made accessible to the people at large: they unlock the classical treasury in which the ancient Sanskrit scripture of Hinduism is stored, and...

  • Lakshmi Shankar sings songs from the devotional tradition, creatively accompanied by Partha Sarathi Mukherjee (tabla) and Ramesh Mishra (sarangi). Devotional songs in Hindi have been part of north Indian culture for half a millennium, and the lyrics are mostly addressed to God, or describe and praise him, whether in the form of Krishna or Rama. Lakshmi Shankar is one of the most celebrated singers in the North Indian (Hindustani) style of music has a great reputation as a singer of devotional lyrics, best known for her performances of the work of poets such as Surdas and Mira Bai. Her mesmerising voice brings out every nuance of the pain of love expressed by the Rajasthani princess who lived five hundred years ago. ‘Lakshmi Shankar holds her listeners spell-bound... her whole presentation, suffused as it were with tender lyricism, leaves nothing to be desired. It is perfect in itself’ - Times of India.: NEW CLASSICS MEG.

    Lakshmj Shankar er mest kendt I Vesten som kiassisk indisk sangerinde, men i virkeligheden er hun nok ligeså optaget af at synge bhajans fra den mere fulkelige Bhakti-tradition, hvnr følelsen, der udtrykkes, er religiøs hengivenhed.

I en traditinnel histnrie fortæslles om en ung kvinde, der møder Herren Krishna på floden Yamunas bred. Hun bliver som fortryllet af hans kærlighed og skønhed, kun for at blive efterladt, fortvivlet og trøstesløs, når han frejdigt rejser videre. At være adskilt fra det guddommelige er emnet for sangene, og følelserne af smerte, lidelse og forpinthed bliver her forbundet med kærligheden og skønheden, så hjerret synger med hos lytteren.

Trods - eller måske på grund af Lakshmi Shankars 77 år, kommer hendes stemme og disse følelser stærkt og klart igennem, akknmpagneret aldeles smukt på tablatrommer og på strengeiustrumentet sarangi. - Rating * * * * * Jack Dunen / DJEMBE January-March 2004
