This unique four-CD set is a primer in the artistry of Indian classical music, a perfect introduction for the novice. Included are 74 ragas, their major themes condensed into easily-digested miniatures. A full raga can explore a theme for hours -- this handy compendium allows the listener to fully appreciate in a matter of minutes the subtleties of development and improvisation at the heart of an Indian classical performance. An illustrated book gives notation and other info; those who can't read music will delight in the beautiful full-color plates accompanying each piece. Mark Schwartz, Barnes & Noble
