About this recording

Title as given by the source
The exclamation in Supriyoda’s voice as soon as Indira Devi’s song starts to play strikes me every time I listen to this recording. Supriyo Tagore was 22 when Indira Devi died, and he had spent many years in the same house with her. So, her voice must have startled him, given him a sense of her presence, as if she was in the room, as if she had come back, because that is what I hear when he says, ‘Ah!’
