On “Parvat” (meaning Mountains in Sanskrit), composer and violinist Harpreet Bansal takes the Raga into the world of symphonic sound. It is her debut album on the LAWO Classics label,
A Raga is a melodic framework for improvisation akin to a melodic mode in Indian Classical Music. The Rāga is a unique and central feature of the Classical Indian Music tradition, and as a result has no direct translation to concepts in Classical European music.
Each Rāga is an array of melodic structures with musical motifs. Considered in the Indian tradition to have the ability to "color the mind" and affect the emotions of the audience.
Together with her distinguished fellow soloists Vojtěch Procházka on Harmonium and Sanskriti Shrestha on Tablas, and a radiantly willing Norwegian Radio Orchestra led by Hannu Koivula.

Traditional music can still be taken by surprise. The beaming violinist Harpreet Bansal from Sagene in Oslo has through strong albums and concerts shown formidable abilities to spread her performances of Indian Classical Music. Whether it's playing with Jazz and Improvisational musicians, or in full symphonic settings.
In her work "Parvat" (which means mountains in Sankarit), she takes over in symphonic form with KORK, led by Hannu Koivula and joined by the co-soloists Vojtech Prochazka (Harmonium) and Sanskriti Shrestha (Tabla).
In three overwhelming and intricate pieces full of beauty, the music unfolds as dynamic rock formations, full of the contrasts of nature and culture. With writing assistance from contemporary music giants Jan Martin Smordal and Jon Oivind Ness.
This is a beautiful, fascinating, and overwhelming album from Norwegian violinist Harpreet Bansal.
My wife and I love to sit back and relax listening to this album. The recording and engineering are excellent as well as the musicianship. So very nice!
A real gem. The most profound, vibrant and, above all, unique interpretation of these masterpieces, the Leçons de ténèbres. I had the chance to hear them performed live by Miguel and Aurea Vox; now, this album is like that moment, preserved forever. Absolutely brilliant: Miguel is becoming increasingly special, personal and beautiful.
Simply beautiful Jazz music. This Pure DSD 256 file is amazing at creating a very believable stage in front of your listening room.
This album, with a few others from NativeDSD, was part of a DSD review I did on my YouTube channel (mikesvinylexperience). The Blue Hours Sessions is a go-to for me when I just want to unwind with a great musical and sonic experience!
Okay, I couldn't agree more with the first two reviews here. If you enjoy the cut-and-dried simplicity of a Jazz Trio, or you're just in the mood, give this a try.
The musicians and the recording are fantastic. Such precision and so serene. Bravo!
Old Gold is superbly produced, mixed and mastered with that classic Stockfisch sound. Great clear vocals, rich guitars and a lovely Old School Classic Vintage feel. A great choice for relaxed and critical listening.
I love instrumental Jazz. So when I encountered the Rembrandt Trio's first album, entitled "The Blue Hour Sessions", I had a brief listen to samples, liked what I heard and bought it (DSD 128 resolution).
As a result of that experience, it will probably come as no surprise to learn that, when "The Golden Hour Sessions" - the group's follow-up album - appeared, I had a listen to samples of that and ended up buying it too (DSD 126 as well).
I was very impressed with the playing on both albums. I also found the music to be highly enjoyable. When the superb recording quality is also taken into account, I feel a warm recommendation is definitely warranted.
The Golden Hour Sessions is an outstanding recording and is a testament to the talent of Rembrandt Freichs Trio. Just another excellent offering from Native DSD
This was one of my first DSD albums. Got it in DSD 256. Now I have more than a few. This one is by far my favorite.
Every time I listen to it I'm amazed at the clarity and detail. The vibraphone jumps out at you every single time and I am amazed every single time. The limited number of reviews do NOT do it justice! It is simply outstanding!
A superbly produced, recorded and mastered album. Live Encounters is a warm intimate Live Jazz audience recording that is very enjoyable, adventurous and engaging without becoming overly showy.
Patricia Barber - Audiophile Queen!! Clique! is superbly produced, recorded and mastered. The album showcases Patricia with elegance, originality and impeccable musicianship. A very rewarding listen for Jazz lovers. A must purchase for any music library.
One of the most creative recordings I have heard. The interplay between Bloom and percussionist Miller reminds me of (weird, I know) the mating dance of rattlesnakes. Beautifully intertwined. Two lives moving in harmony in a way not often heard in music.
