Kalidasa’s Abhijnanashakuntalam

An expert and professional rendition of a concised version of Kalidasa's magnum opus.

The musicians must be lauded for providing the necessary atmosphere within which the play takes place, be it audally signalling the rise of a tense interaction, realisation of an error, or the soothing forest ambience. The virtuosos made you feel as though you were witnessing the play before your very eyes.

The narrator's voice harmonised perfectly with the music, which resulted in not just a wonderful story but a captivating experience altogether. The narration flowed like maple - slow and consistent, with no abrupt pauses and as immersive as it can get, short of physically playing a charatcer in the story.

The congruous confluence of the narrator's voice and pacing, and the musicians rhythym turned a one hour tragiromance into a day's experience, a perfect precursor to the legacy left behind by the Pandavas.
