Taking the Sarod to New Depths
Paula: What are your goals as an artist?
Rajeev Taranath: To keep honing my art until the end. To teach a few who
can thereby carry this music forward after me.
Paula: Do you find that when you perform, audience reactions tend to differ between Western
audiences, and audiences who are more familiar with Indian Classical Music?
Rajeev Taranath: The knowledgeable and the serious listeners are
similar. The others look for somewhat different kinds
of excitement. Speed and pyrotechnics excite all but
the full and the mature.
