Moonlight And Shadows
At The Pipe Organ
Fantasy 8018
1960
From the back cover: Mr. Pandit, born in New Delhi, India, was a musically gifted child. His father, a member of one of India's first families, and his European-born mother nurtured the talent, allowing it to expand and ripen in an international atmosphere. Journeying to Europe, England, and eventually to America, the handsome prodigy continued his formal study, finishing at the University of Chicago.
The professional career of Korla Pandit has been a succession of impressive "firsts" in concert and television presentations, nationally as well as locally, in Hollywood and New York. He is responsible for for several innovations in organ construction and interpretations, including Indian drum and percussive effects previously untried. His greatest success has been in television (Mr. Pandit gave the first all-musical TV program in Hollywood in 1949), and his one-hour weekly show in California won countless admirers and many awards. He has performed too, in churches and temples on numerous occasions.
Korla Pandit brings deep spiritual contemplation to his music, but his primary goal is to create beautiful music for you, the listener. His skill and finesse, combined with a profound conviction in the divine nature of music, explain why listening to his music is a refreshing emotional experience. In Korla Pandit's own words: "Music may not save our soul, but it will cause your soul to be worth saving."
