Jana Gana Mana is the first ever music album was released in the Central Hall of Parliament.

January 26, 2000, -the President of India released Jana Gana Mana CD/VCD booklet at the Central Hall of Parliament, to commemorate the 50th Year of the Indian Republic.

The contribution of India's musical greats to this album made this moment a complete expression of India's identity and solidarity.

For the momentous occasion of the 50th year of the Indian Republic, the greatest music maestros of the country- from the classical to the contemporary and across generations- came together, for a powerful and soulful rendition of the National Anthem.

The music album titled, Jana Gana Mana comprised of the collective (vocal and instrumental) and the individual renditions of the National Anthem. The music is produced by A. R. Rahman. The audio was made available under the Sony Music India label from June 2000.


Jana Gana Mana was written by Gurudev Rabindranatha Tagore. This sage has won Nobel prize for his achievements as a Poet.

They said ...

K.R.Narayanan

As we celebrate the Golden Jubilee of the Indian Republic, I am happy to learn that great musical maestros of the country have given us their melodious renderings of the National Anthem in the form of a CD and Audio cassette. I felicitate Bharatbala productions for this unique and laudable endeavour to celebrate 50 years of the Indian Republic.

Jan 2000

A. B. Vajpayee

I am happy to know that a special CD, audio cassette and informative booklet on the National Anthem "Jana Gana Mana 2000" is being produced to commemmorate the Golden Jubilee of the Indian Republic. This Unique musical randition of the National Anthem, which is a collaborative effort of many great maestros of India, is a fitting artistic tribute to all those who stuggled and sacrifised for the establishment of our Republic.

Our country has a priceless musical and visual arts tradition going back to the vedic times. What adds to our pride is its living nature and its quality to harmonise diverse melodies into a symphonic synthesis, which contributes to our national unity. This is bourne out by immortal song composed by Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore. It is also attested by the engaging recreation of Jana Gana Mana in a video form with the participation of Pandit Bhimsen joshi, Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, Pt. Shiv Kumar Sharma, Lata Mangeshkar, Hari Prasad Chaurasia, Dr. D. K. Pattamal, Pandit Jasraj, A. R. Rahaman, and others. I congratulate Shri Bharatbala and Shri A. R. Rahman who have earlier colloborated to promote the spirit of Vande Mataram, for this commendable new producion.

Anything is possible in Bombay Dreams…
Bombay-Mumbai: one city with two names.

Akaash and Priya: two lovers from different worlds, sharing one dream.

Young slum-dweller Akaash dreams of becoming a huge movie star. His fateful encounter with beautiful, strong-willed Priya and her father, powerful but corrupt movie mogul Madan, seals his destiny. Akaash can achieve his dream of stardom but at a price. Is he prepared to lose the people essential to the past which defines but now haunts him? Will Akaash and Priya's love survive? Will they find, like in all the best Bollywood movies, their happy ending?

Andrew Lloyd Webber, world-famous for creating ground breaking musical entertainment, is producing Bombay Dreams, one of the most eagerly awaited theatrical events of 2002. When he first heard the music of A R Rahman, Andrew Lloyd Webber instinctively felt he was listening to the music of a "melodic genius" and invited Rahman to collaborate on the creation of a new stage musical. Rahman is a phenomenon in his native India where he is best known for the thrilling scores to such movies as Roja, Lagaan and Dil Se. India's greatest ambassador in the world of music, Rahman is one of the most exciting young composers of our time.

With book by Meera Syal (Bhaji on the Beach, Goodness Gracious Me, Anita and Me) and lyrics by Don Black (Aspects of Love, Sunset Boulevard), Bombay Dreams promises fantasy and glamour, epic spectacle and heart-aching romance, and a uniquely new musical voice for the West End.

Vanessa-mae: Choreography

Choreography is not only Vanessa-Mae's debut recording on the Sony Classical label, but far most marks her return to the field where classical music is combined with modern influences to a mix that some define with the rather limiting label of 'classical crossover music.' After an explorative outing to pure pop on her most recent album 'Subject To Change,' Vanessa-Mae returns to the style she so successfully defined and explored as no other artist did. 'Choreography' is a sensational multi-cultural journey into dance rhythms from all over the globe. Composers with diverse backgrounds, but all with worldwide fame and acclaim, must be credited for the music on this album. Their compositions are all based on well known dance themes, but are yet very original in their elaboration. All tracks are exciting, surprising and dynamic. Whoever expects an easy listing album will find oneself be disappointed. Who listens to Choreography will find lots of recognition of the basic dance themes, but will also by no doubt be touched by the beautiful violin parts of Vanessa-Mae, the great and overwhelming orchestral movements, and nice, sometimes subtle, sensational or even funny, accompaniment of traditional instruments used for the music from that particular part of the world.


Contains
Raga's Dance - A.R Rahman

Raga's Dance is a composition is which the mystical Asian moods are raised. Fine violin play is constructed around the orchestral movement. Vocals are also used effectively to create the Asian mood.
