Priyagitah:
The Nightingale

with Steve Gorn
"One of my new favorite CDs that I play at home for background music for entertaining friends and for working in my home office. It is a perfect blend between the mystical sounds of the esraj and the soul elevating music of the Bansuri bamboo flute. Mixing other instruments such as tabla, keyboards, and tamboura help to make this an amazingly evocative musical CD."

"The beautiful musical landscape [of Celtistan] reverently merges Michael's Celtic and jazz sensibilities with Benjy's love of Indian classical music, giving the ancient traditions of India and Ireland a new melodic voice (with occasional touches of Asia and Bosnia). Celtistan's flowing and vibrant language was captured live, to preserve the unique richness, openness, and spontaneity that shared moments bring."
