MUSIC BY LAXMIKANT PYARELAL (HB)

A saga without parallel in the
music industry  Laxmikant-Pyarelal’s
music is played, every hour if not more frequently, in every nook and cranny
of the country, over two decades after they stopped composing together. It
also finds due place globally, wherever Indian music is loved. Today,
Pyarelal has his own global standing, and is the only Indian composer to have
a symphony registered in his name. This book encapsulates what can only be
called the ‘Musical Universe’ of Laxmikant-Pyarelal. Here is a duo known as
much for incomparable range and quality as for unmatched popularity and
quantity; as much for intimate associations with lyricists, singers,
filmmakers and stars as for giving career breaks and breakthroughs to so
many; as much for chartbusters from the 1960s to 1990s as for leading in the
list of re-created songs today. From teenage musicians to being the composers
of over 500 films, their journey is truly incredible in every aspect. They
are admired by international as well as Indian classical maestros.
