The Blue of the Sky

Last modified July 24, 2006

Two performances on the esraj by Sri Chinmoy. The second esraj performance is on an esraj named “Chinmoy Beena”; this was specially built to Sri Chinmoy’s specifications by his students (Harkara and Pramodan).

Notes on recording

The esraj is noted for its soft, haunting and ethereal qualities. The Chinmoy Beena helps to maximise the soulfulness of this instrument.
