    Sunrise Vol. 1
    Pt. VIJAY RAGHAV RAO : SUNRISE (vol 1) This album presents three selections typifying the quintessentially symbiotic relationship between the genius of Pt. Vijay Raghav Rao and his art form. All three performances are rooted in the natural metaphor of a rising sun. 1. Miyan Ki Todi In the canon of the classical music of India there is no Raaga more traditional than Miyan Ki Todi, the creation of which is originally attributed to the doyen of Indian composers Miyan Tansen (1506-1585). In this performance Panditji meticulously preserves Tansen's prescribed tonal structure while delineating four original, modern compositions intermingled seamlessly in a single movement of varying rhythmic meters. True to Panditji's reputation, ancient tradition finds new voice for a future worthy of it's roots. Alaap, Chota Khayal (Jhap Taal, 10 beats/cycle), Saadra (Jhap Taal, 10 beats/cycle), Drut (Teen Taal,16 beats/cycle) Tabla Accompanist: Pt. Giridhar Prasad Jaipurwalle Swarmandal: Pt. Anant Bhonsle 2. Bairagi Bhairav In this performance, Panditji presents a deeply introspective interpretation of a rare melodic scale. Pensive and sonorous, the original composition mines the intricacies of the lower octaves to delineate a mood of spiritual enlightenment. Upon contemplation the attuned ear can fathom oneness of sound, beauty and spirit. Bada Khayal (Vilambit, Ek Taal, 12 beats/cycle) Tabla Accompanist: Pt. Mahadev Indorkar 3. Bhoopkali This selection is a live encore performance of one of Panditji's own contributions to the canon of Indian classical music. Literally meaning 'flower born of light / sunflower', the composition is a fine example of Panditji's impressionistic muse. The music sparkles with innocent vivacity and elegant wisdom. Intellectual music, the composition seems to say, can entertain. Drut (Ek Taal, 12 beats/cycle) Flute Accompanist: Dr. Vijay Vardhan Elchuri Tabla: Sanjay Kumar 'No substitute for his flute...the complete master' - The Hindustan Times "A volcano of creative expression' - The Indian Express "His flute is an unending fountain of myriad melodies, always fresh, always original." - The Patriot 'Creator of beautiful, wide and ethereal canvasses.' - The Deccan Herald '20th Century Renaissance Genius.' - The Cleveland Plain Dealer 'Intensely romantic...lyrical...extremely serene.' - Rave Magazine "Innovator in the world of music.. a versatile genius." -The JS Magazine "Seeker of truth through music. One of the greatest flautists of this world" - The Times of India "Reflective music, refreshing and genuinely haunting" - The New York Times "Awe inspiring. Freshness and finesse in every note. Marked by gay abandon, innovativeness and imaginative vitality." - The Statesman "Suave tonicity, lyricism, rich melodic beauty" - The Listening Post Pt. VIJAY RAGHAV RAO : SUNRISE (vol 1) Originally recorded live in Bombay, India and Springfield, VA, USA Digitally re-mastered at The Red & Green Company, VA, USA Special thanks to Smt. Lakshmi V. Rao CD version of SUNRISE (vol. 1) manufactured by Disc Makers, Philadelphia, PA, USA Sound Executive Dr. Vijay Vardhan Elchuri Executive Producer Sanjay Kumar © (p) 2013 by Pt.

    Sunrise Vol. 2
    SUNRISE (Vol. 2) presents three live recordings of performances in the morning by Pt. Vijay Raghav Rao, symbolizing the ascending vitality of modernism in traditional Indian classical music. Like SUNRISE (Vol. 1), this album of exceptional artistic brilliance features music rooted in the natural metaphor of a rising sun. "Makes the notes dance and quiver in an enchanting manner, spouting mellifluous melody in a variety of tonal nuances, embellishing delectable compositions notable for a refined sense of design..." - The Times of India Typifying the genius of the legendary flautist-composer, the music in this album represents innovation that imparts freshness in melodic composition and elegance in execution to traditional musical structures, enhancing their appeal whilst maintaining the dignity of classicism. AHIR BHAIRAV In this live, recorded performance Panditji interprets in his inimitable style a variation of the oldest known scale in traditional Indian classical music. The rendering summons ethereal emotion that blends a deeply felt spiritualism with romantic visions of a sun rising over a rustic country scene, in which Lord Krishna - in the guise of a cowherd playing the flute - tends to his flock of cattle, preparing them for the day ahead. In the hands of the finest flautist-composer of our time the weight of tradition mingles seamlessly with rusticity and heart-felt devotion. Tabla: Pt. Mahadev Indorkar BHOPAL TODI In this live recording Panditji interprets a rare variation of one of the most popular scales in Indian classical music. The performance emotes compassion and heartfelt empathy with those who suffer physically, intellectually or spiritually. The elegiac composition leans on unadorned musical notes - shorn of technical dazzle - to highlight, without obtrusion, the unassailable dignity of the spirit amidst what chaos there may have been. In the process, classicism finds new meaning appropriate for the modern condition. Tabla: Pt. Mahadev Indorkar HINDOL In the spirit of this album's character highlighting Panditji's devotion to Lord Krishna, this selection features his interpretation of a Raga traditionally associated with an image of Lord Krishna reclining on a swing, surrounded by his devotees. The atmosphere is suffused by playful reverence. An early morning's ambience burnishes the joie de vivre. Panditji's composition is delectable in that the melody easily straddles the subtle ground between elegance and intellectualism, even as it uses rhythm and tempo to present an objective, physical picture of a divine swing in perpetual motion. That the enchanting melody is essentially based on four musical notes - skillfully woven into a substantive, poem-like song - is a testament to Panditji's artistic genius.

    Rainbow: A Tone Poem
    PT. VIJAY RAGHAV RAO R A I N B O W : A TONE POEM R A I N B O W : A TONE POEM is an orchestral work exemplifying the innovative canon of music by the legendary flautist, composer, conductor, choreographer and poet Pt. Vijay Raghav Rao. The work highlights Panditji's lifelong pursuit to spark social change through brilliant, pioneering music. At it's heart, R A I N B O W is a work of art that represents the best in music. Some of the finest Indian vocalists, percussionists and instrumentalists collaborate to perform a dazzling composition that spans the gamut of human emotion. R A I N B O W's soul transcends cursory musical ambit by articulating the divine symmetry between notes of a musical scale that collaborate to make music, and colors of the spectrum - that make for a rainbow. When diverse human beings unite in the face of calamity, the rainbow thus formed is a beautiful example of what is possible. After all, like the colors of light that originates from the sun, diverse human beings share a common, unifying origin. R A I N B O W is composed as a tone poem in two parts. Part 1: WORK IS WORSHIP This composition describes life in a small farming town, a metaphor for our world. When drought disrupts life as it is meant to be, it's inhabitants are distraught. Unquestionable faith in God comes undone. Relationships are tested, the townspeople resort to devious practices. Righteousness is up for trade. In this god- forsaken land, to each his own becomes the unmentioned rule for survival. Then a lonely farmer with nothing better to do picks up his plough and tills his small, barren plot of land. I know nothing else but to farm, he says. And he tills and he prepares his land - defying signs of futility. Soon, his neighbor joins him. Despite a lack of fresh grain the owner of the flour mill reopens it's doors, making pre-purchases of grain from the farmers on credit. The local grocer pitches in, buying invisible flour from the mill. What townspeople still remain, visit the grocery and, despite little resource, buy what flour they can on the basis of trust. The school reopens - children prepare for their future. Soon, there is renewed optimism in the air. An uncommon, emotional vigor pervades despite what is real. The townspeople have in them the consummation of their most cherished wish. Lo and behold: the clouds gather in the sky, there is rain, and the drought is dispelled. Faith is not subject to fate - when the faithful unite despite calamity, work is worship. Part 2: UNITY IN DIVERSITY This composition mines the intrinsic diversity in musical tone, rhythm and arrangement to delineate one truth: that diversity is at the core of lasting, beautiful unity. At the height of prosperity the farming town thrives on interdependent differences. The farmer produces food for consumption. The lender provides money for new ventures. The teacher infuses future generations with values. The priest instills faith. The trader introduces new ways and means of living. The physician heals. The mayor organizes. The artist shows a vision of a world that can be. Each needs the other. With time, each believes there can be no life without the other. When adversity strikes this society it's diversity makes it resilient. The inability of one element to thrive is more than compensated by the collective efforts of the others. As in the transcendent emotions evoked by a composition that relies on the creative use of some (not all) notes in a scale, so does a society express unique emotions born of the collective efforts of some of it's constituents. The rest plow life's challenges in the firm belief that their turn will come. By making brilliant use of the diversity inherent in his musical palette, Panditji's composition makes such truth come alive. Diverse musical scales drive variegated melodies set to rhythmic cycles of varying meters. One melody seamlessly blends into another, preserving it's nature while suggesting what is common. In theme and music, abstraction finds eternal life resulting in a work of profound art. ABOUT PT.

    Masterpieces: Contemplation
    This album is another collection of four masterpieces on the classical Indian flute by the legendary Pt. Vijay Raghav Rao. The performances capture a desire to restore righteous splendor to the human condition in the midst of drowning anguish. The album resonates with ennobling music that both empathizes and inspires. Says the artist, often known as the foremost exponent of the Indian flute ever - "It is hard not to be touched by disparity. Wherever I live, the human condition is fraught with despair. I have tried to imbue this album with elaborate visions of a lost world full of romance and majesty. It may be the midst of a burdensome night, but we can aspire to grandeur befitting our nature." Through the past six decades, Pt. Vijay Raghav Rao has shaped and influenced the essential form and derivatives of culture known to the world as classically Indian. It can be authoritatively said that with his performances on the Indian flute in front of audiences worldwide, and recordings thereof, he has interpreted ancient music for modern ears with an understanding that is chaste, and an elocution that stimulates intellects, both mature and young. His genius has also expressed itself in critically acclaimed works for modern orchestral and ballet ensembles. Several award winning features and short films shown at some of the most prestigious international film festivals carry his experimental music. Critics and connoisseurs of his expression in Asia, Europe and America have responded with meaningful praise. To note a few- 'No substitute for his flute...the complete master' - The Hindustan Times "A volcano of creative expression' - The Indian Express "His flute is an unending fountain of myriad melodies, always fresh, always original..." - The Patriot 'Creator of beautiful, wide and ethereal canvasses...' - The Deccan Herald '20th Century Renaissance Genius..' - The Cleveland Plain Dealer 'Intensely romantic...lyrical...extremely serene...' - Rave Magazine "Innovator in the world of music.. a versatile genius.," -The JS Magazine "Seeker of truth through music. One of the greatest flautists of this world" - The Times of India "Reflective music, refreshing and genuinely haunting" - The New York Times "Awe inspiring. Freshness and finesse in every note. Marked by gay abandon, innovativeness and imaginative vitality" - The Statesman "Suave tonicity, lyricism, rich melodic beauty" - The Listening Post Panditji's awards, citations and press have reflected public sentiments of awe and respect for one who has staked new vistas for an ancient tradition, unfettered by a need for acceptance or accolades. He has been bestowed with prestigious honors in India, the United States, the former Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Canada, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, France and Germany. In India alone, he has received multiple Sangit Natak Akademi awards, the titles of Sangit Kala Shiromani and Gana Kala Prapoorna, the Gaurav Puraskar, Lifetime Achievement awards and honorary doctorates. In 2002, the Governor of Maryland bestowed Panditji with an honorary citation for his contributions to strengthening cultural ties between India and the United States. In 2008, he received the prestigious Aditya Birla Kala Shikhar (Zenith of Art) award from the Governor of Maharashtra. Panditji's creative works in the realms of dance, orchestral composition and film music are recognized for an energizing originality that is often perceived to extend the boundaries of the artistic idiom. His compositions in dance and music have set trends, recognized worldwide with awards, and permeated musical expression in cultural media such as film, ballet and recordings. Panditji's scores for Mrinal Sen's 'Bhuvan Shome' (honored with the Golden Peacock, IFF, New Delhi) and painter M.F. Hussein's 'Through The Eyes of a Painter' (honored with the Golden Bear, Berlin Film Festival) are just two examples of such brilliance. As a poet, Panditji has published five well- received anthologies of poems and short stories in English and Telugu. Musicians are a rare species of human beings, seeking originality in the midst of what is the norm, expressing the voice of the human condition to those who experience it every day, seeking new spirits and notes in scales that have not changed in two thousand years. And it may be said that over half a century, Pt. Vijay Raghav Rao has been the preeminent musician to more than a generation of musicians, connoisseurs, musicologists and fans in India and parts of the world outside.

    Masterpieces: Affection
    This album is a collection of four masterpieces on the classical Indian flute by the legendary Pt. Vijay Raghav Rao. The artist - often known as the foremost exponent of the Indian flute - has imbued the performances with emotions expressing affection for a loving, transcendent entity. The album pulsates with expressions of devotion, passion, playfulness, surprise, a yearning to create, to perpetuate. Of MASTERPIECES: AFFECTION, Panditji has this to say " To me, God is an exquisite ocean of perpetual resonance one feels in all relationships - a father, a mother, brothers and sisters, a teacher, a friend, a beloved. As the Gita says, to those who seek victory, God is statesmanship. Among secrets, God is silence. To an artist like myself, God is the forever truths of life. This album is an expression of love for what is lasting in life, regardless of anything..." Through the past six decades, Pt.
