I love this album. It's my favorite classical CD right now and a very welcome and much-needed respite from a crazy and chaotic world--a perfect combination for musical inspiration and contemplation. The artistry and presentation is just beautiful. Take the opportunity to give this gorgeous music a serious listen and discover why to many, Tantara is still an undiscovered treasure chest for serious music lovers.
