Beautiful Indian classical music: sitar, tabla and tanpura.
Dr. Chandrakant Sardeshmukh started playing the sitar at the age of four. His first public concert was at the age of six. When he was eight, Ravi Shankar called him a 'gsheer prodigy' and went on to teach him the sitar in the tradition of the Maihar Gharana for twelve years.
Now a highly acclaimed sitar player and composer with a Ph. D. in Sanskrit, he gives performances and lecture demonstrations all over the globe including India, Australia, Japan, Germany and the US.
Kirwani with ragamala displays both imagination and skill in combining various ragas contrasting majestic notes with those of frolic and gaiety.
Bhairavi with ragamala, through the frequent use of semi-tones in this performance gives rise to an ethereal quality.
Once you listen to his sitar, you will never forgetthe music lingers in your ears.
Joyous melodies for relieving stress and pains.

Dear Dr Chandrakant, The quality of music is very original and immensely creative. It is entirely God's wish that this young person is chosen for His finest Expressions. I have no doubt in my mind that He will fully take care of this prodigy. There are countless number of new touches, ideas and idioms in the raag Bhairavi. I want to listen to this CD at least about 2 dozen times to try to understand and analyze the finest gamakas and touches. Bhairavi is perhaps the most popular raag not only in the Hindustani but also in the Karnatic music. There are countless number of compositions based on this raag. Even so Dr Chandrakant has found it like a virgin land to graze. The art of switching raags rapidly in succession is also extremely praiseworthy. This eliminates the monotony usually associated with classical music. The Bhandish of eight and one half time cycle is indeed very complex. Even so Dr Chandrakant feels so very comfortable with it. I noticed that the plucking of the strings was extremely powerful most of the times and there are times when I wished that it would have been little better if at times this could be made soft, softer and softest and with more feminine grace charm and warmth. I can confidently foresee a very bright future to this artist. Let us keep in touch! With best regards to you all, Sadashiva Bhat 701 Church Street Belmont NC 28012 USA
