The audio recording is taken from the Cd Shyam Smaranam: A musical offering to the Eternal Lord Krishna, produced by Sri Aurbindo Society, Pondicherry, under the supervision of Dr.Sampadananda Mishra.
The Cd has two parts, with the same hymns. Part 1 is with the accompaniment of musical instruments and the second one is the traditional rendition, without the musical instruments, except one. The female voices in the Cd belong to Ujjvala Haldar, Chandrima Haldar, Durba Bhattacharya and Binita Shah.
The photos are random downloads from the web.
Absolutely wonderful. How can I buy a copy of the mp3 file?
