Vijay Iyer - Music for the Film Radhe Radhe - Rites of Holi By Prashant Bhargava (Live) (2014) [Hi-Res]

"... by handing the film over to Iyer to provide the musical soundtrack, the filmmaker creates something even more powerful ... the music follows its tension and release, climaxes and way stations ... Iyer has written a dramatic, both risky and serene, completely captivating soundtrack which can easily work on its own, though to hear it without the images would be to get only half the intoxicating, sensual experience."
