Hariprasad Chaurasia is an Indian virtuoso flautist in the Hindustani tradition, born 1 July 1938 in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, India. 'Ajanma' takes a unique place in the discography of the North Indian flute legend. The recording was captured in a small 16th century church in Rhoon, The Netherlands in June 2014, which is well known for the character and quality of its acoustics. This double CD is comprised of two solo improvisations accompanied by a tanpura and a short piece of flute without the usual tanpura drone. The deliberate omission of a percussion accompaniment allows Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia to take his flute on an intimate journey, carrying the listener through the honesty, density of colour and lyrical architecture of the world of sound.
