Thank you for your modest recommendation of undoubtedly beautiful music by the most influential Indian flutist living today. Seriously, it is as difficult to recommend where to start listening to Indian classical music as it is to recommend where to start listening to serious Western music. Mozart? Bach? Beethoven? Sonatas, symphonies, operas? 

 

On another wave, I have my best memories of Hyderabad, where I spent a week or so near the historic centre of Charminar. Amazing Indian city with its own unique face. Nizam's Palace, Golconda Fortress at the location where all famous and legendary diamonds of old human history were mined...

 

 

Another Spin,

 

I had no idea that your travels brought you to Hyderabad.  Fantastic!  

I am very curious to know a little more about your knowledge of Indian culture.  

 

The "Old City" as we call it is a special place.  Time seems to stand still over there.

I can only hope and pray that the history and culture of this beautiful city is preserved.  

I am really glad that you could visit Hyderabad and sample some of it's treasures.

 

Regards

Yes, I stay in India at least a part of winter each year since 2008. Visited various places, and Hyderabad was definitely one of the best big cities I saw in India.

Will be happy to do that for you.  Here is a recommendation I hope you will like.

Thank you.  That opened the door!  Did a search on Qobuz (via Roon) and saw a vast discography for both master musicians.  Currently listening to Hariprasad Chaurasia Live From Savai Gandharva Festival 1992.  Zakir Hussain also amazing (and wonderful presence on YouTube videos).  (Interesting to hear the likeness and differences with shakuhachi flute).

 

Gotta go...lots of listening to do.  Always love discovering new music (have been listening to a lot of female vocalist from Norway, courtesy of another thread on AS).  Stay well.

There's quite a bit out there.  Glad you found a few on Qobuz!

The more you search their algorithm will start feeding more more.
