To a Westerner this sounds still quite authentically Indian music, despite a few touches which indicate these musicians are at listening, probably practicing, Western music as well (and that is a good thing - they certainly aren't aping it. There's no reason not to be practiced in more than one tradition!). There is a tasteful difference between the styles of the two players; I am guessing the second knows the Bach E Major Partita. The virtuosic element is available but subordinate to the idea.
Awesome work! I am listening to both of you for the first time, and when the video was playing in the background it was hard to tell who is playing, the guru or the sishya! More power to both of you. Thanks for sharing!
