Selected Reviews of Performances:
A scintillating sarod performance at the India International Centre

The Times of India ( New Delhi).
The sequences with unblemished tonality of his swaras revealed taste, an urge for expression and a feeling for tone modulations; . . . a high sense of emotional vehemence; . . . revealed a sensitive mind. And this in my opinion is of vital significance .

The Hindu ( New Delhi).
My mind was out of my body … floating in a large expanse of bliss

The Australian
Incendiary

Sydney Morning Herald
