Editorial review
Hariprasad is an acknowledged virtuoso on the bansuri, or bamboo flute. Backed only by tambura, Hariprasad improvises around a traditional raga to produce this album of deep meditative music. The pure tones of his flute rise and fall over the drone of the tambura creating a timeless mood of peacefulness and profundity. ~ Backroads Music/Heartbeats, All Music Guide
