Editorial Reviews A gifted artist with an excellent sense of the aesthetic capabilities of his instrument, Ram Narayanhas made innovations on the Sarangi to achieve a wider and more meaningful range of expressiveness. To quote the artist himself," sarangi players are generally much more alert and versatile than other musicians, because they have accompanied all kinds of vocalists from baijia, qawwals, and thumri singers to khayal and dhrupad - dhamar singers." The credit of elevating the sarangi from an accompanying instrument for vocalists, to a solo concert instrument goes entirely to Ram Narayan. A legend in his own time, Ram Narayan has begun a new era in sarangi playing.
