The first time a friend played it for me we sat in front of the speakers silently, looking at each other in surprise and amazement every few minutes. I didn't know anything about Indian classical music but I knew that THIS was special. I immediately bought the CD and I listen to the entire thing every night before bed, completely focused on her subtleties and bends and dynamics as she plays. I let my mind go with the cello. To appreciate it you have to listen carefully to the variations and changes and directions and the sounds she pulls out of the cello, sometimes very subtle, other times like breathing fire. I grew up a professional musician, so I've been around the best musicians all my life, and she is one of the all time best. Clearly she is full time dedicated to her craft. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ With an open mind and heart *by A***X on Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2014* With an open mind and heart you can appreciate this as a timeless part of a collection. This I believe to be her premier recording; her debut in classical Indian music (as well as dhrupad's first American cellist). At this point she had been studying under the masters for 15 years, and cello for at least twenty years. The set is overflowing with emotion and awash the lush nuances of the cello and pakhawaj. It may not be "pure" or "evoking" to some purists, but on the contrary, I think it is astounding. Leave it on and enjoy the sounds, I don't examine it. It is a deep lake... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Differences in sound produces common beauty in music *by J***K on Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2001* I was curious too about this, a cello in Indian music? Done by a white woman? Some might say that it can't be done, but why not? The cello is not an instrument from India, but upon visiting India, Nancy Lesh shared her music and in return the people of India made a huge impact on her music and her life. She eventually changed her style of playing, readjusted the tuning of the cello, and made it into something that is both haunting and beautiful at the same time. She had been told that the sound of the cello would be perfect for the "dhrupan" style, which is a vocal style of Indian classical music. This CD is the result of the impact Indian music had on her. At first the sound of the cello sets you off, because you're expecting it to sound as it does in Western classical music. But the listener gets caught up in the "alap", which she does slowly and carefully, and you realize that the cello is perfect for this. Lesh is someone I think I would enjoy hearing in a live setting, but until then, this CD shows a lot of potential. I hope she plans to record more music in the years to come. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/13447305-cello](https://www.desertcart.in/products/13447305-cello) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
