''A splendid book.'' Literary Review
''A modern masterpiece.'' New York Journal of Books
Finding the Raga is Amit Chaudhuri’s revelatory exploration of North Indian classical music: an ancient, evolving tradition whose principles and practises will alter the reader’s notion of what music might – and can – be.
Through essay, memoir and cultural study, Chaudhuri dwells on the music’s most distinctive and mysterious characteristics, resulting in a gift of a book for musicians and music lovers, and for any creative mind in search of diverse and transforming inspiration.
