Never heard of Lakshmi Shankar before but what a voice! Anyone know of other album of hers?

Really wonderful, yes. I have a couple of CDs, Hindustani classical, (Navras, London, I think) but one has gone unplayable :(

Wikipedia:

Lakshmi Shankar (born Lakshmi Sastri, 16 June 1926 30 December 2013) was a noted Hindustani classical vocalist of the Patiala Gharana. She was known for her performances of khyal, thumri, and bhajans.[1][2][3] She was the sister-in-law of sitar player Ravi Shankar and the mother-in-law of violinist L. Subramaniam (her daughter Viji (Vijayashree Shankar) Subramaniam being his first wife).

If you listen to vinyls there are
1) A musical bouquet Laxmi Shankar
2) Laxmi Shankar - Self Titled
3) Nirmala Devi with Laxmi Shankar
4) Laxmi Shankar - Khayal, Thumris and Bhajans
there may be many more but I have listened to all of the above vinyls. The one I liked the most is fourth one. It has Laxmi Shankar with L. Subramaniam and Zakir Husain. Absolutely Fantastic !
Regards.
 
The CDs that I have of hers would have been purchased in London. See Navras Records for details of a tribute event if you happen to be in London in October. I couldn't see her CDs though.

Nirmala Devi is a fine classical singer and mother of filmstar Govinda. Two people at extreme ends of a creative pursuit.

Other female classical singers you may like are...
Ashwini Bhide Deshpande, Dr. Anita Sen and Padmaja Phenany.
Ashwini Bhide and Dr. Anita Sen both have atleast one album on vinyl as far as I know.
Dr. Anita Sen

I feel that the Z5 are now "getting their voice" and that I have the positioning etyadi worked out to liking

TBH : the thing I heard the most the last few hours of listening was the LEDR track "cockroaches" - as my son puts it. I am pleased to report that they climb up walls and arc in rainbows quite satisfactorily now
