Kronos Quartet and Asha Bhosle - You’ve stolen my heart : I listened to this album with a little trepidation, I love Asha Bhosle’s voice…and I like the Kronos Quartet, but I wasn’t convinced how they would go together. It really works - the combination of deep soundscapes by the Kronos Quartet blends nicely with Bhosles amazing voice, and Hindi (?) lyrics. The album is made of tracks composed by her husband R.D. Burman, who was a key figure in creating the sound of Bollywood that everyone recognises. The best track for me is ‘Relationships grow Slowly’ and the instrumental ‘Beloved o Beloved’. The tracks are well updated - with plenty of the original flavour involved - sometimes surreal and almost abstract, and often doleful and sad, Asha Bhosles voice is allowed much room to breathe. I highly recommend this if you’d like a relatively gentle introduction to Asha Bhosle’s work.
