This title on North Indian Classical music,
commonly known as Hindustani classical music, has a subliminal quality.
It takes the listener on a journey from the mystical and divine origins
of Indian music to its contemporary form. It traces, in simple and clear
style, the evolution of Indian music from its ritualistic and devotional
use to the emergence of khayal - a style that marked the blending of the
Indian and Persian styles ... For the lovers of Hindustani classical music,
this CD-ROM is a great way to learn more about it. For the novice, it
is a great way to get initiated."
