Flute or magic wand?  Shashank's playing was cerebral yet full of emotional content. V. BALASUBRAMANIAN 
Veena maestro S. Balachander once commented during a TV interview that he was always jealous of flute vidwans, who just need to pack the instrument in their knapsack for their foreign tours whereas he had to book an extra ticket for his instrument! Contrary to what he said, nowadays flautists carry lengthy boxes with flutes of various sizes, which they change for required octaves. Recently, Shashank made maximum use of his flutes to keep the audience spellbound. A brief alapana of Durbar set the mood for the evening that was followed by the varnam. The evening's fare was dominated by Tyagaraja kritis; what more can one ask for?
