No doubt. Beautiful imagery as this shouldn't be squelched under a blanket of technical jargon.

I'll bet the recording itself is of the highest order, too, as are most releases on Harmonia Mundi. My experience with their Classical Indian catalog demonstrates their knack for crystalline, yet vibrant production.

Please! If you ever decide to write something with technical jargon - don't! :)

Write for lowly folks like me, who'd be lost under all that stuff and end up scratching their heads at what they just read. I have enough headaches per day. :) (personally, I think I'm guilty of some "tech-nese", myself...gulp)

Really well written! Stay descriptive, that's your best bet. Loved the whole "rich and satisfying" bit. Made it sound like a Mars bar. :D
