Album Notes

Hriprasad Chaurasia is without any doubt the greatest living master of the North Indian bamboo flute - the Bansuri - and one of India's most important musicians.
The flute served through history as a folk instrument and only recently developrd into a classical instrument. Hariprasd Chaurasia, a rare combination of clasical discipline and modern innovation, significantly expands the possibilities of expression on the Bansuri flute. He developed a unique sound and style of playing that, combined with astonishing virtuosity, have become a model for imitation and admiration both in India and throughout the world. To listen to Chaurasia is pure meditation, like hearing the soundless sound, the music of silence.
This recording documents two unforgettable performances in Jerusalem.
