Master sarod player Amjad Ali Khan, scion of a family of sarod musicians in central India, composed Samaagam to entwine and rejoice in the classical music cultures of West and East. This stunning collaborative work creates an exhilarating bond of both traditions. Sankarams atmospheric aria from the opera Taking Up Serpents also brings together diverse conventions, depicting a young womans reunion with her estranged family at her fathers deathbed. And Shostakovich in his Chamber Symphony mourns for his kin, his countrymen, and himself at a difficult time in his life. Weaving together quotations from his previous works, the symphony is so powerful that when I was writing it, tears flowed as freely as water
