Autorenporträt
Rabindranath Tagore and Satyajit Ray need no introduction to audiences worldwide. Nevertheless, readers of this book may like to know that Tagore was the first non-European to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, and composed the songs chosen later as the national anthems of India and Bangladesh. Ray is of course a legendary director in global cinematic history, but he was also a fluent practitioner of Western classical and Indian music. Ananda Lal, an international authority on Tagore, theatre and translation, retired as Professor of English, Jadavpur University, Kolkata. His most important publications include Rabindranath Tagore: Three Plays (the first book in English exclusively on Tagorean drama), The Oxford Companion to Indian Theatre (the first reference work on this subject in any language), and the research-based CD The Voice of Rabindranath Tagore (on Tagore's own recordings). He has written on the interface between popular Western and contemporary Indian music, and was a regular columnist on rock and jazz for the newspapers The Statesman and The Telegraph, Kolkata. Trained in Rabindrasangit at Indira, Kolkata, he has directed theatre productions and poetry-jazz performances.
