DEVENDRA MURDESHWAR

 

DEVENDRA MURDESHWAR FLUTE

EMI, 1972, ESCD.2713

The bansuri has been played since for ever in India but  it has emerged on the international scene fairly recently.  Until Hariprasad Chaurasia started to record and tour a lot the older flute players were  best known to amateurs and specialists. Among them Pannalal Ghosh who died in 1960 was probably the most valuable. Other players nevertheless left their marks on Hindustani music like D. Murdeshwar (1923-2000)  who recorded a few albums for EMI India. He was a disciple of P. Ghosh.

Some information about his apprenticeship and career are given on the back cover. But if you want to know more about this  subtle musician you can visit this excellent  site :

Here he plays raag kedara, raag jhinjoti and a thumri.
