Alor Pakhi- Review

Alor Pakhi- Review
Tagore’s music calls for a cosmic appeal,and provided the songs are treated with an unconventional approach they turn out to be a euphonic treat. Dr.Rajiv Chakraborty, the sarod maestro and Pandit Shubhankar Banerjee, eminent tablist have successfully experimented with some of the oft heard Rabindrasangeet in the arena of music arrangement and given them a new dimension by getting them rendered by three hundred children from different schools of Kolkata.The songs ,meticulously chosen from his treasuretrove,encompass some popular ragas like kedar(Amar mukti aloy aloy),and Miyan ki Malhar(Rimjhim ghonoghono rey), some patriotic numbers like Jodi tor daak shune,O amaar desher maati and the baulanga number, ‘Pagla haoar badol diney’.A tapestry of well synchronized voices,coupled with a rare percussion wizardry and above all the improvisation on the ragas by Dr.Rajiv Chakraborty on the sarode makes Alor Pakhi(cozmik harmony) a collector’s item.The prelude piece played on the esraaj in the song ‘Rimjhim Ghonoghono rey’ followed by the typical note pattern( ma pa ni dha ni ni sa) of the monsoon raga creates the perfect ambience.
