The new record by the Grammy award-winning Kronos Quartet, one of the world's most renowned string quartets, is a tribute to the great music director R.D. Burman, with vocals from the legendary Asha Bhosle on eight of the 12 tracks.
"Kronos has explored the marriage of music and films for many years, so immersing ourselves in the music of R.D. Burman's Bollywood was natural," says Kronos Quartet's violinist and founder David Harrington.
"Burman's music transcends any categories of 'Bollywood' or 'film music'. To me, it stands on its own as some of the most inventive, far-reaching and fun music of the late 20th century."
