The trouble with Shankar's music is that it masquerades under the name of Carnatic. It is anything but. The lack of imagination is so plain in his Hemavathi piece. Repeating the same set of chords on different octaves does not constitute a Alapanai. Havin played solo all his life, he has missed the guidance of some of the leading vocalists of his time back in India and that shows in his repetition of notes. He definitely has an unerring control over the instrument but....Also the recording is excellent which is one of the main reasons his CD's sell well.
