4e de couv.: Ein umfangreicher Teil des Schaffens des indischen Poeten, Philosophen, Malers und Komponisten Rabindranath Tagore aus Kolkata (1861 - 1941) bilden feinsinnige und tiefgründige Lieder, die bis heute fester Bestandteil bengalischer Kultur sind. Die verschiedenen Interpretationsstile dieser über 2000 Lieder, begonnen mit Aufnahmen von Tagore selbst bis zum Ende des 20. Jh., werden im Buch "My heart sings" vom Musikethnologen Lars-Christian Koch an ausgewählten Beispielen ausführlich erforscht und erläutert. Die umfangreiche Analyse der Lieder und ihrer Aufführungs- und Interpretationsspraxis zeigen einen differenzierten und fachkundigen Einblick in einen Bereich bengalischer (Musik-)Kultur, der im Westen nahezu unbekannt ist.
