Hariprasad Chaurasia 1968 'Music Of India - Flute Recital'

This is Hariprasad Chaurasia's first LP released in 1968. This was re-released on CD in a small series of 'First LPs' by Saregama in 2005, however they are hard to find and often crazy priced online. I also don't know the quality, but it probably isn't so bad. This performance is really quite delightful and lively, even in the early days one can hear the great musicianship of the Bansuri Master. They didn't have access to all the standard effects that we use today like reverb etc. So it's nice to hear a clean performance - as it would have sounded sitting in a room with the musicians having a jam...
