This is the one - the 'Flying Beyond" CD by Hariprasad Chaurasia - a transcendental experience. Very highly recommended! The Bamboo flute (Bansuri) in both India and Japan is considered to be the original musical instrument, and is noted for being closest to the human singing voice. The richness from the fine nuances of pitch is accomplished by a subtle blowing technique and by partially covering the seven to eight finger holes. Each flute can only play in one scale. Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, born 1938, is an acknoweldged Bansuri master. In 1981, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to music, he was given the National Indian Award of the Sangeet Natak Academy in New Delhi. In 1990, Hari Prasad Chaurasia received the Gaurav Puraskar, one of the most prestigious awards, from the State Government of Maharashtra, India. He also received from the President of India, the coveted Padmabhushan award.
