My second-ever post on this blog has been unavailable for quite awhile, thanks to the files hosting service I used at the time. 

Here is an updated, remastered, and improved version of this LP. Thanks for your patience!

---------------------------------------------------

Ram Narayan was born near Udaipur on the 25th of December 1927. He popularized the sarangi as a solo concert instrument and became the first internationally successful sarangi player.
He moved to Delhi following the partition of India in 1947 and then moved to Mumbai in 1949 to work in Indian cinema. He became a concert solo artist in 1956, and later gave up accompaniment. He was awarded India's second highest civilian honor, the Padma Vibhushan, in 2005.

This is a delightful out of print LP on loan from my friend N.O.

Tabla by Manik Rao Popatkar.

Equipment used in transfer: 
Turntable: Audio-technica AT-LP-1240
