Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia is both a world-renowned flutist and a teacher of Hindustani classical music, both in India and at the Rotterdam Conservatoire. Amongst his students is the French bansuri player and scholar Henri Tournier, who presents in this weighty and elegant package an in-depth investigation into the primarily oral, and thus never static, tradition of the music. Chaurasia provides the music, his improvisational skills a wonder to behold, with Tournier meticulously transcribing and analysing the ragas in the progressive stages of their development.
