The complete box set of the legendary concert held in April 1985 will be released in January 2019
From the 7th to the 8th of April 1985, for 24 hours, ten of the most famous maestros of Hindustani music played a complete cycle of ragas at the Odéon National Theatre in Paris. These instrumentalists, singers and percussionists gladly participated in unique experiment. The ragas were performed to a packed hall of 950 seats, showcasing a complete nocturnal and diurnal cycle, in perfect harmony with the times of the day and the night, following the ancestral tradition that gave Hindustani music a special place in the panorama of world music.
This historic event has never been equalled.
The concert brought together the greatest musicians of that generation, all at the peak of their careers. The ragas and the way they followed each other were carefully chosen, according to each performer’s personal skills, allowing the audience to share so many exceptional moments! Few of these masters are still present today, but the association of these extraordinary artists, representatives of the major traditions and schools (gharanas) makes this box set a precious document. The reconstitution of this concert as a series of CDs will allow people to experience or to relive those unforgettable moments, and the undying emotion of the music thanks to the technical quality of the recordings, which is worthy of the event!
An exceptional gift for anyone who loves Hindustani music!
