Indian Classical Flute Player, Delhi

Rajat Prasanna

It is mentioned in the Vedas and is depicted in the Buddhist art of 2,000 years ago. One Sanskrit verse credits the bansuri as the source of swarajnana - the knowledge of music. It was left to the genius of late Pandit Raghunath Prasanna & Pandit Pannalal Ghosh to elevate it to the status of a concert instrument. The polished tonal grace, rhythmic elegance, and depth as well as lucidity of expression evident in Rajat’s playing are the result of his continuing advanced training and refinement uder his father and to the rigours of such a preeminent tradition, Rajat has added his own dedication and finesse - through painstaking practice, assiduous assimilation and erudite presentation..

Music lovers and critics in India have acclaimed his imaginative and haunting rendition of ragas. His performances are replete with unexpected, sweet and breathtaking improvisations.
