Comments

Both vocal & flute were soulfully rendered.

I have been lucky to see his live programme at Gorakhpur . He is exceedingly passionate about his hobby of flute playing and his melodious flute programme has enthralled and mesmerized every body. No other instrumental music is so powerful and soothing as flute playing.

Thnx dear Dushyant for your generous comments.

Great. It’s spiritual

Thnx dear Pande ji.

सर, प्रणाम. आपका गायन और बांसुरी वादन सुना । जहां पर गायन उच्च कोटि का है वहीं बांसुरी का लय अपनी पराकाष्ठा पर पहुंचता है । बांसुरी वादन मे तान को ऊंचाइयों पर ले जाकर फिर मोड़ देना , बहुत ही कर्णप्रिय है।

Thnx dear Arvind, for your hearty appreciation !
