We took friends to hear Rakesh Chaurasia, nephew of Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, the bansuri master. I’d heard Rakesh with Hariji in the Usher Hall, Edinburgh performing in an unforgettable all night rag concert. Rakesh played so very well in comfortable English country surroundings by Salisbury Cathedral on the banks of the River Avon. The Salisbury Festival 2009 presentation was entitled Music For Mind And Spirit and included a performance by the large English Hindustani classical ensemble Tarang
I’m glad I managed to record the last 4 minutes of the performance with AudioBoo on my iPhone which held many of the audience spellbound.
