The Seventh Spring

Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn :: Four Orientals seated under a tree; bearded old men wearing turbans, seated in a half-circle on a terrace, one holding a cup, the other a book, a steep rocky outcrop behind. c.1656-1661 | Click image for larger view. | source: britishmuseum.org

Aftab Datta had promptly uploaded the following gems from his collection for the seventh anniversary of sarangi.info, and I am responsible for the tardiness of this post. Emerson says in Spiritual Laws, “If you visit your friend, why need you apologize for not having visited him, and waste his time and deface your own act? Visit him now.”

Happy Equinox!

  2. God bless you Aftab Saeb, for uploading a wealth of rare classical music, you are an angel, and I can’t thank you enough.

  3. Thank you very much for your uploading many good&precious music!
    I want to tell you one thing about Surendranath(Bandyopadhyay). He was a Vishnupur Gharana maestro of Sursringar. And I think that your file of Darbari rendition was played by Sursringar.

  4. Happy vernal Equinox to you too!

    I agree with Mr Nandakumar Kurudi wholeheartedly. Your collection is absolutely great. I particulary liked Vijay Raghav Rao’s rendition on Abhogi. I love his style very much.
