You’ve Stolen My Heart

…is the title of a soon-to-be-released CD of Bollywood music. It’s the result of a collaboration between the Kronos Quartet, Asha Bhosle and Rahul Dev Burman – Bollywood’s pre-eminent composer (and Bhosle’s husband). Sounds good. My pre-order’s gone in.

 

Kronos are not your father’s classical string quartet. They seem to take a delight in pushing the boundaries with interesting collaborations. I’ve got a copy of Gorey End  in my music collection – the collaboration with the Tiger Lillies – which captures the atmosphere of Edward Gorey perfectly. You can almost feel the mist rolling out of the rusty iron gate of a delapidated graveyard.

 

Oh, and if you want to hear the full glory of The Tiger Lillies, may I recommend Shockheaded Peter?
