that opening, oh my lord for all the beauty of, say, a locatteli cello piece, which epitomizes precision and dexterity, the hindustani approach to bowed instruments is somehow so much more ‘real’. granted, the tabla accompaniment provides the sharpness and immediacy, but: it resonates in the body, not just the head. the produced emotional resonance is so much deeper.

I fall short of words! You fill my heart 💖 The playing is so amazing, you are so in love with the instrument and the bowing is so sensitive yet top notch! Kudos to Dhillon ji also, such beautiful accompaniment. You breathe a different life into the cello. This art of yours deserves many more followers! I am so glad I searched with "Cello Indian classical", and found you!
