You've Stolen My Heart, Songs from R.D. Burman's Bollywood

From the fantastical land of India's "Bollywood," the world's largest film industry, comes the music of the Kronos Quartet's latest CD-a vibrant homage to the pre-eminent composer of classic Bollywood, Rahul Dev "R.D." Burman. In more than 300 film scores, Burman entranced audiences with melodies steeped in intrigue, festooned with jewels, and stained with tears and henna-an eclecticism mirrored in ever-surprising combinations of Indian classical and folk music, swing jazz, psychedelic rock, circus music, can-can, mariachi, and more. You've Stolen My Heart finds Kronos in the eminent company of Bollywood playback singer Asha Bhosle, Burman's wife and the most recorded artist in the world, who contributes new vocal performances to 8 of the CD's 12 tracks. Inspired by the chameleonic spirits of Burman and Bhosle, Kronos ventures into novel instrumental territory on this disc-the first to be produced by quartet founder David Harrington-augmenting its acoustic sound with keyboards, gongs, cymbals, mouth percussion, and more. Kronos is also joined by longtime collaborators Zakir Hussain (tablas, trap drums) and Wu Man (Chinese pipa), completing this musical masala of eras and cultures.
