Pandit Sharda Sahai is an internationally renowned tabla maestro, famous for his classical skills and collaborations with Nana Vasconcelles, Andy Sheppard and Nexus, as well as his performances at WOMAD and other festivals around the world. He is the leader of the Benares style of tabla playing and this rare recording is the third in an extraordinary trilogy. The album incorporates compositions that have been handed down five generations and which have rarely been heard in public. Shardaji is accompanied on this thrilling and beautiful journey to the shores of the Ganges by Ramesh Misra (sarangi). - New Classic/Online World Music Magazine

Kiassisk. Nordindien. En tabla-solo kan være fortryllende, men en hel CD med solo tabla er ofte en lidt af en blandet fornøjelse, synes jeg.

Første halvdel af CDen er improvisationer i teental, en 16 slags rytme, og i langsomt tempo. Anden halvdel er ‘sjældne kompositioner’, i samme tala, men i medium tempo - og krydret med lidt forklaring og en del bols undervejs. Sidstnævnte er setier af ‘trommeord’, der svarer til serier af slag på trommerne. Ramesh Mishra akkompagnerer på sarangi.

CDen er den sidste i en trilogi, og ifølge udgiveren noget, tablaspillere vil lytte til hundredevis af gange. Utvivlsomt, for spillet er fint nok, men som ikke-tabla-spillende lyttet må jeg nok tilstå, at jeg hat det med at tabe interessen hen ad vejen. Første halvdel er en tong sag, og anden halvdel virker eftet min mening
rodet. Men hvis man er lidt ‘fanatisk’ med tabla kan den nok være spændende.
