Saeed
is very graceful player of the sitar. He evolves a vibrant, lovely
tone from instrument which is consistently tuneful and particularly
adept at pulling wavy 'harkat' from the stretched strings.
The Hindu
Saeed Zafar of Delhi is now a seasoned sitarist. His rendering of
Jai Jaiwant was indeed immaculate. The brief but tuneful alaap was
followed by a slow Masitkani gat with pleasing sequences of todas
and tans rendered with bold and neat phrasings.
The Statesman
Being Ypung and enthusiastic as is natural at his age, Saeed
has tendency towards speed, which he displays like a maestro. His
taans are swift and layakari highly impressive.
