Bhairavi, and Mian ki Malhar
Just finished an amazing book called Bhairavi: The Dawn of Indian Music in the West, by Peter Lavezzoli. It's a must-read -- learned, eclectic, and thorough. Through it, I have learned about Saskia Rao-de Haas. Here's a clip of her playing Mian ki Malhar on her custom-made "Indian cello".
Part 2 is here.
Now that's what I call music.

Thanks much for the book recommendation.
And an "Indian Cello"? What an intriguing idea. (I haven't yet played the videos you've linked to...)

Have you written about "The Music Room" by Namita Devidayal. For an outsider likeme, it was very enjoyable.
