This is a wonderful and generous collection of digitised tracks from all over the world, music recorded on 78rpm shellacs between the 1920s to the ’60s.

Every element of Gayathri Venkataraghavan’s concert was pleasant
From start to finish, Gayathri Venkataraghavan’s concert for Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan was of a high standard, without crossing over into the remarkable. While every element was enjoyable, none embedded itself into the listener’s memory.
The evening’s beautiful setting seemed to be attuned to the music. It was a pleasant open-air ambience on the expansive grounds of the Rajaji Vidyashram school. The stage was erected on casuarina stilts, with a brightly decorated set. To the left of the stage was a large screen that showed the concert in progress.
