Immerse yourself in the serene and soulful melodies of "The Valley Recalls - Peace, Love & Harmony" by the legendary Pandit Shivkumar Sharma, released on January 1, 1996. This captivating album, a collaboration with the esteemed Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, is a testament to the timeless art of Indian classical music, recorded live at The Nehru Centre, Bombay, in December 1995. Spanning a duration of 1 hour and 17 minutes, the album features six enchanting tracks, each divided into two parts: an alap (a slow, meditative introduction) and a gat (a more rhythmic and structured composition).
The album opens with "Peace (alap)" and "Peace (gat)," setting a tranquil tone that permeates throughout the record. It continues with "Love (alap)" and "Love (gat)," exploring the depths of human emotion through the expressive notes of the santoor and the flute. The album concludes with "Harmony (alap)" and "Harmony (gat)," weaving a tapestry of musical unity and balance.
Recorded under the Navras Records label, "The Valley Recalls - Peace, Love & Harmony" is a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, showcasing the virtuosity of Pandit Shivkumar Sharma and Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia. Their masterful performances on the santoor and flute, respectively, create a mesmerizing soundscape that resonates with listeners, offering a profound and enriching musical experience.
