Beautiful and reverent performance
This was a lovely short performance of Abhigyana Shakuntalam. Wish there was commentary too which would enhance the modern listener's understanding

Absolutely mesmerizing! Hair raising experience
Hearing this you will know why they call Kalidas the greatest of all times. The power of words, sometimes strong as a rock and other times as delicate as a dew on a lotus flower, delicate emotions carefully woven to make fabric of a beautiful emotional hair raising story. Also, Kudos to the team who assembled this audiobook intermingling with the original Sanskrit verses & the carefully chosen background music. The narration is the best i have heard in a long time and absolutely fit for the masterpiece that this is. Thank u for the experience!
