Sufi Songs of Love from India and Iran - Field Recordings by Master Ethnomusicologist Deben Bhattacharya
[EUCD1563]

This album presents live recordings made in Benares (India), Srinagar (Kashmir) and Teheran (Iran) in 1955, 1979 and 1999. Some pieces are played on a harmonium, accompanied by a dholak, a barrel drum, others on santoor, sitar and tabla or a pair of Iranian goblet drums called Zarb. The booklets gives information about the history, the music and the instruments used. A very interesting CD and an important sound document.
