Music of the Romantic Varanasi featuring Pandit Rajendra Prasanna

Born in 1956, Pandit Rajendra Prasanna is an exemplary exponent of flute (bansuri) and shahnai and comes from a rich lineage of illustrious musicians. Born into a family of famous shahnai players like Pandit Gauri Shankar and Pandit Raghunath Prasanna, young Rajendra Prasanna dived into the mysteries of the divine flute and mastered it to an extent that he became equally proficient in both flute and shahnai, a feat rarely attributed to other musicians.
