It gave me great pleasure to hear Mr. GS RAJAN on the occasion of India's Republic day celebrations in Munich. Mr. Rajan creates a beautiful sound and is most imaginative in his way of developing the raga he has chosen to interpret. I know that he will have a life full of beautiful music and I wish him all the best.
