"A not-to-be-missed gem amongst sitar-cd's. Purbayan Chatterjee excells as ever and displays his matured mastership as he breathes life into the beautiful evening ragas Malgunji and Puriya, both full of serenity, grace, gratitude and fulfillment. In raga Puriya I also sense a mood concerned with a mysterious and rather overwhelming expectation of something precious that's not really yet disclosed, but still evokes a feeling of bliss and happiness. Subhankar Banerjee's contribution on tabla is excellent. The beauty is further enhanced -to a breathtaking level- through the superb recording by engineer/producer Derek Roberts. Whenever you play this music, you'll be experiencing a blissfull evening. A totally rewarding and satisfying album."
