Utsav Lal with Sandip Bhattacharya—Playing The Composition of Raga Shuddh Sarang Part 1

Utsav Lal, one of India's youngest concert pianists, has been credited with giving the world the sound of ragas on the piano. Utsav has been honoured with the distinction 'Young Steinway Artist' and is currently listed among the world's top pianists.

Utsav's creative expression of the feelings and emotions of ragas on his piano has been critically acclaimed. Accorded the unique title of "Raga Pianist", Utsav is a delight to watch as he loses himself in his music -- fingers follow the pace of the mind with dreamy embellishments and flights of fancy, breathing voice and soul into the piano as he unfolds the notes of the Raga to create a captivating musical experience.
