about

The pre-eminent classical tabla virtuoso of our time, Zakir Hussain is appreciated as one of the world’s greatest and most influential musicians, one whose mastery of his percussion instrument has taken it to a new level, transcending cultures and national borders. Along with his legendary father and teacher, Ustad Allarakha, he has elevated the status of the tabla both in India and around the world. Esteemed as a groundbreaking collaborator, composer, educator and cultural ambassador, he has made an extraordinary impact on the music world as he continues to inspire the next generation of artists.

Rakesh Chaurasia is a brilliant and innovative exponent of the bansuri, a side-blown bamboo flute originating from the Indian subcontinent. His playing, informed by a detailed study of vocal technique, has been hailed as enchanting and mesmerizing. With a powerful imagination and prodigious ability, he has experimented with music across many genres; however, his eclectic performance history is rooted in impeccable training in the classical tradition. His style follows in the footsteps of his iconic Guru and uncle, Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, as well as the illustrious lineage of the Maihar gharana. His performances are graced with an astounding technique blessed with amazing breath control, pristine tone, exquisite runs and a joyful and witty playfulness which have brought him widespread acclaim and popularity.

"It is with great joy that I present on my label, Moment Records, this concert recording of myself with the amazing flautist Rakesh Chaurasia. We have been playing together for several years, in a few different formats, and I have always found our concerts to be uniquely fresh. I have happily experienced each concert to be different from the last and our musical conversation filled with rhythmic and harmonic exploration. Having played for decades with his uncle, Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, I eagerly look forward to Rakesh’s considerable talents blossoming and evolving into all-time greatness." -Zakir Hussain
