in my opinion, this cd shows the best music of phillip glass, the one he did at the beginig, before the big companies request him to do more comercial music. the minimalism in the best form. without comercial interest. and with the man who most influenced him. a beautifull mix between orient and occident
January 28, 2008i'm a pianist and i find this album to be one of the most beautiful works i've ever heard.
March 9, 2007The sitar really gets to you! Won't go into any mumbo-jumbo about why this collaboration works. It just does.A truly enjoyable purchase!
October 18, 2006This is a very good CD, and I think how much you like it may depend upon if you like Glass music more than Shankar music, or if you are not a sitar fan or not a minimalism fan (but why get the CD if that is the case.) That is, the composing credits show 1/2 the pieces are written by Glass and 1/2 by Shankar, but there seems to be a more western than eastern sensibility to each piece, to such a degree that without looking at the credits, I would think each piece was written by Glass, with some sitar accompaniment thrown in on the side. I really like this CD because I really do like Phillip Glass, and I am only holding back one star because I had expectations that there would be an absolutely magical melding of two partners in some type of exact half and half musical arrangement.
September 2, 2006A great collaboration between Shanker and Glass, I would recommend this CD to all music lovers.
