"His sitar had all the characteristics of a human voice.
It was as if one were being spoken to in a foreign tongue whose
words, magically, were being made instantly clear." -The New York Times, Nov.
10, 1994
"Manilal exemplifies the 'younger generation' of sitarists,
eclectically drawing from the styles of the established masters
while clearly retaining the strong flavor and delicate shadings
of his family's heritage." -Frets
"What Raga Records has accomplished yet again is to pair
a superb performance with a text essential to any listener interested
in India's highest musical expression." -Allan Evans,
Fanfare
