Hi Ajit & Dinesh, I agree with all your points. "Bose" is one path breaking album by ARR. He recreated entire era of Mohd.Rafi and proved that he can go back to the time too :) The whole album was rich in orchestration and accoustics and showed his mastery in western(German) and Indian regional(Bengali) music.
And also I want to mention one thing specail about instrumentals/BGMs in the album. See how he has played the difficult notes of Desh ki mitti and ekla chalo(in Netaji theme) in instrumental version. That's what I love about ARR. He never copy a note to note song in instrumentals. He improvises them to play easily in instrumentals. That's called genius!! Also I almost cry when ARR plays "Desh ki mitti" mukda in instrumental version. Such a soothing effect !!
