四度获得格莱美提名的阿努什卡·尚卡（Anoushka Shankar）是当今最杰出的跨界印度古典音乐家和作曲家之一。她独特的风格将古典音乐与世界音乐融为一体，艺术性与商业吸引力兼备，深受广大听众喜爱。 在发行了《Traveller》和《Traces of You》后，这张名为《Home》的纯印度古典专辑是阿努什卡与德意志留声机合作的第三张作品，也是她的第八张个人专辑，在她位于伦敦的家庭录音室录制。专辑灵感来源于她的古典音乐训练背景以及父亲、传奇大师拉维·尚卡（Ravi Shankar）的教诲，包含了独奏锡塔尔的冥想曲目与高超技艺的印度古典拉格。 Alaap（时长：11:08）：慢速、无节奏的演奏，平和地展现了拉格的特性。拉格Jogeshwari是拉维·尚卡的创作，但整个表演为即兴演奏。 Jod, Jhala（时长：10:14）：引入脉动节奏，逐渐升温，在Jhala部分达到高潮。 Gat in Rupaktaal（时长：15:27）：Tabla的加入，演奏七拍的Rupaktaal节奏循环。Gat由阿努什卡创作，演奏者以此为框架即兴发挥。 Aochar, Dadra, Teentaal, Coda（时长：18:26）：作为传统结束曲，以轻松浪漫的情绪演奏。在短短的Alaap后，阿努什卡引入12拍的ektaal节奏，逐渐加速，在16拍的teentaal节奏中达到高潮。最后，阿努什卡还特别加入了ektaal中的短尾声。 拉维·尚卡曾说：“有一句梵语格言——Ranjayathi iti Ragah，意思是：让人心染色的是拉格。”在《Home》专辑中，阿努什卡正是做到了这一点。 Four-time Grammy nominated Anoushka Shankar is one of today´s most distinguished and versatile classical cross-genre sitar performers and composers. Her unique approach to classical music and world music genres is both highly artistic and commercially appealing to a wide audience. After Traveller and Traces of You this pure Indian classical album is Anoushka´s third release on Deutsche Grammophon and 8th solo album recorded right at her HOME studio in London. Inspired by her classical upbringing and teaching by her legendary father, Maestro Ravi Shankar this album offers both meditative and virtuoso Indian classical raga for Solo Sitar with ensemble. With Home Anoushka continues her journey exploring modern and fresh ways to reinterpret and keep alive the beautiful musical traditions of India, as taught to her by her father Ravi Shankar. Alaap Run time: 11:08 The slow, rhythm-free and serene unfolding of the raga s character. Raga Jogeshwari is a creation of Ravi Shankars; however, this entire raga performance is an improvisation. Jod,Jhala Run time: 10:14 A pulse and rhythm is introduced in the jod, gradually building up to a climax in the jhala. Gat in Rupaktaal Run time: 15:27 The tabla enters here, playing rupaktaal, a popular rhythmic cycle of seven beats. This gat is composed by Anoushka, and Tanmoy and Anoushka use the gat and rhythmic cycle as a framework for their improvisations. Aochar, Dadra, Teentaal,Coda Run time: 18:26 As is traditional, the final piece is played in a lighter, more romantic mood. After a short alaap known as aochar, Anoushka introduces a gat in ektaal of twelve beats, and then slowly accelerates the tempo to an intense climax during the second gat, played in teentaal of sixteen beats. An exciting tabla solo is featured near the end of teentaal, and, unusually, Anoushka adds a short coda at the end, again in ektaal. Ravi Shankar once said: There is a saying in Sanskrit - Ranjayathi iti Ragah - which means, that which colors the mind is a raga. With Home Anoushka does just that.
