paagaldas - the intonation of this piece is very correct. I think that you do not realise that Lanka Dahan Sarang uses unusual shruthis of several swaras, such as several different komal Ni's and different Komal Ga's. There are at least 4 different values for Ni in this rag, 2 of them in between Ni Shuddha and Ni Komal, and 2 different Komal Ga's. You will hear the same values in Ali Akbar's recording of the rag.
fairly accurate mix of desi and sarang, but i find his development quite erratic. intonation is also inconsistent, if you listen closely. nice tone and nail-to-string contact.
the development appears that way besause of the editing. It is a series of short excerpts of a performance sewn together but the editing is choppy. It appears to have been edited like that essentially to show the phrases in the raga and not to reflect a real whole performance. The editing might account for the intonation you mentioned although I think it wonderful.
One must be knowledgeable to say that Rajiv can take forward the music of Baba Allauddin Khan & Ustad Ali Akbar Khan. I have about 300 hours of Rajiv's music
I am spellbound, I am sure he will carry the legacy of Baba Alaudding Khan and Ali Akbar Khan. I have ordered all his CDs whatever available. S Prodhan
great, wonderful, amazing, awesome. I'd really like to have his disc in my collection.
