essential

this music is an essential companion to Seth's book "An Equal Music", the jouney is best followed with a map of inner London and this wonderful music

A Beautiful novel, equally beautiful music

Vikram Seth's novel, An Equal Music, is beautifully written and extremely evocative and melancholic. I only discovered the CD long after I read the book. At first I thought it might be a marketing gimmick but no longer (especially since Vikram Seth put his name on the CD as an implied endorsement). The music is beautiful and now that I have listened to it again and again, I think I'll re-read the book. I love R. Vaughn Williams and the "Lark Ascending" is so lovely and so well chosen by the author as an inspiration to the book's protagonist. I had to hear the Art of Fugue after the prominence placed on it (and the other pieces,too) in the book. I'd highly recommend this CD as well as the book.

Can't Stop Listening

I wish I had this 2-disc collection at hand when I read the book. I have it now and cannot keep it off the CD player. The music is beautifully performed and presented and seems to capture the mood of the book. It's marvelous. I particularly love the The Art Of Fugue, Contrapunctus 1 for Piano. It's haunting -- I usually play it when no one else is around, with the lights off.
