The departure of Dr. Natesan Ramani affectionately called ‘Flute Ramani’ has rendered the music world poorer. He along with the maestro Mali brought international attention to the Carnatic flute with their distinct playing styles and techniques. Only a few flutists would have made their instrument virtually sing as Ramani did. He always enjoyed and celebrated his works as did his innumerable listeners. Though he is no more, the immortal renditions left behind will continue to beguile countless music lovers.
