This explains his howling, fret-capering electric guitar style, although subtle whammy-bar usage does go a long way towards approximating the traditional folk sounds of his forebears.

| “ | This is a stunningly brilliant record from start to finish. The arrangements bring new life to already great material, and demonstrate creativity far beyond what is normally encountered.

Koster's playing is his own, to be sure, but he manages to put the stamp of a Sabicas or Montoya on the particular toque he is playing. Koster offers an interesting program of concert flamenco that seems to be the preferred style of expression instead of the traditional accompaniment of singers and dancers... | ” |
| “ | Indian music will always have its traditionalists and its contemporary pop artists; this is true in India itself, and it is true in England and other countries that attract a lot of Indian immigrants. When the 21st century arrived, Ali Akbar Khan was considered an elder statesman of traditional Indian classical music -- April 13, 2002, in fact, marked the veteran sarod virtuoso's 80th birthday.
