Fights,
action, music, romance, secret trysts-renowned classical musician
Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia's life reads almost like a film script.
Wrestler in the morning, student during the daytime and flute player in
secret, he lived more than a double life through his early years, till
he broke away from his wrestler father's watchful eye to join All India
Radio as a flautist.
His marriage, relocation to Bombay
and his foray into films were events rich in drama. As were his
meetings with other musical greats, including Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma,
his dearest friend and music partner, with whom he composed the music
for films like Silsila, Lamhe and Chandni.
His reminiscences about his journey as a student of the reclusive
Annapurna Devi, daughter of the famed Allauddin Khan of Maihar, give
deep insights into his nature as well as that of his guruma.
Hariprasad
Chaurasia has also been a guru to innumerable students in his Mumbai
and Bhubaneswar gurukuls, and at the World Music Department, Rotterdam
Music Conservatory, the Netherlands, where he is artistic director. His
mesmerizing flute can be heard in some of Hindi cinema's most popular
songs, in a composition by the former Beatle George Harrison, as well as
in recordings with renowned musicians from across the world.
A
plethora of awards, including the Padma Vibhushan, sits lightly on the
man, who has taken the humble flute to international renown as an
instrument that can hold its own. Hariprasad Chaurasia and his Breath of Gold will inspire and amaze everyone who reads the life story of this much-loved flautist.
