Abhisar’: A Poetic Odyssey of Love, Longing, and Tagore’s Timeless Verses gets released on Valentine’s day
Kolkata, February 14 – Love has many voices. It whispers in longing, it trembles in anticipation, it lingers in absence. This Valentine’s Day, Bhabna Records brings forth a symphony of such emotions with Abhisar, a poetry recitation album that breathes life into six exquisite works of Rabindranath Tagore.
Voiced by the eloquent Raja Das and the soul-stirring Roya Chowdhury, Abhisar is more than an album—it is a journey through the landscapes of love, where passion meets poetry, where voices intertwine with verse, where Tagore’s timeless words find a home in the hearts of listeners. The album releases on February 14, 2025, across Bhabna Records’ official YouTube channel and major international audio streaming platforms.
Each piece in this collection is a world unto itself. Sojasuji, performed by both artists, plays out like an intimate dialogue, a duet of emotions exchanged through verse. Abirbhav, recited by Raja Das, unfolds like a quiet revelation, a moment of self-discovery wrapped in words. Sadharon Meye, delivered by Roya Chowdhury, captures the quiet strength and unspoken defiance of womanhood, while Krishnakoli, in the voice of Raja Das, paints a picture of beauty touched by melancholy.
The haunting echoes of Strir Patra, narrated by Roya Chowdhury, resurrect one of Tagore’s most profound female voices—a letter of love, loss, and ultimate liberation. And then comes Abhisar, the album’s namesake, a journey undertaken in silence, in yearning, in the unwavering pursuit of love.
“Tagore’s poetry is not bound by time; it speaks in whispers and in echoes, reaching hearts across generations,” says Roya Chowdhury. “Every poem in this collection carries an intimacy, a depth of emotion that lingers long after the words have faded. Reciting Strir Patra was particularly moving for me—it is a piece that still resonates in its quiet rebellion, its unshaken strength.”
For Raja Das, the experience of recording Abhisar was one of deep connection. “There is a rhythm to Tagore’s words, an emotion that unfolds with each syllable. Every poem here tells a story—not just in its meaning, but in the way it is felt, the way it is heard. I hope listeners will find a piece of themselves in these verses, just as we did while reciting them.”
With its rich, evocative performances and Tagore’s eternal words, Abhisar is set to be a poetic offering for the soul. The album will be available on February 14, 2025, on Bhabna Records’ official YouTube channel and all major international streaming platforms.
