| | HARIPRASAD CHAURASIA (flute) and SHIV KUMAR SHARMA (santoor): Music on the Web (UK) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia is acknowledged as the pre-eminent Indian flautist, having devoted his entire lifetime to the deceptively simple bansuri (Krishna's instrument), a bamboo flute which he cuts himself from the bamboo groves around his home. |
 | | There is always heart-warming interaction at concerts of Indian music between the musicians on the platform, and with members of the audience who show their appreciation of the subtleties of performance audibly. |
 | | The Chaurasias, uncle and nephew disciple, brought beautiful tone qualities and expressive ornamentation to their playing, close to the human voice, which is the model for all Indian instrumentalists. |
