| | Rediff On The NeT: Transcript of the Pandit Shivkumar Sharma Chat |
 | | Santoor Virasat is a live concert recording of our concert, Rahul and I played in Bombay along with Zakir Hussain on the tabla. | | | In those days, santoor was used only in Kashmiri music and my father did extensive research about this instrument and decided that I should be the first musician to play classical music on santoor. | | | I feel because of these techniques, santoor achieved its own character and acceptablity among the listeners. |

| | Beyond santoor - Deccan Herald |
| | Pt Shiv Kumar Sharma, the internationally acclaimed santoor maestro and his son Rahul Sharma are a perfect father-son duo in the music world and outside, for they share a relationship of a guru-shishya and friends who understand the other’s need for space. | | | The difference is that while one has the credit of mainstreaming the instrument into Hindustani classical music and taking it to global acclaim and recognition, the other has the credit for taking the instrument further to synchronise it with present day music. | | | His album with noted pianist Richard Clayderman - Confluence is the first ever collaboration of santoor and piano. |

| | The santoor was selected after Dr Deshmukh experimented with various instruments like the sitar, violin, harmonium and vocals. | | | In the seven years of her research—she has counseled more than 350 mothers—Dr Deshmukh realised that two ragas in Indian classical music, raga Yaman and raga Kedar are most liked by the foetus. | | | Santoor strains music to ears of unborn too |

| | The Hindu : SANTOOR SPLENDOUR |
| | Sharma shot into the limelight with `Call of the Valley,' the LP where his santoor interacted with the flute and the guitar. | | | With help from old craftsmen, he improved the santoor's tonal quality and succeeded in adapting it to play Hindustani classical music, including the slow alaap. | | | No stranger to Chennai, Pandit Shivkumar Sharma was in the city recently to participate in "Tiranga," a musical show. |

| | Being a Kashmiri, it was only obvious that he took a liking for the santoor and wanted to play Hindustani music with it :- something that was not done before. | | | The adaptation was not easy as it required modifications in the tonal quality of the santoor, its tuning system and new playing techniques before Hindustani classical music could be played. | | | Sharma spent several years learning and perfecting a new method to play Hindustani music with the santoor. |

| | Rambles: Richard Clayderman & Rahul Sharma, The Confluence |
| | The Confluence: Santoor & Piano is the product of a collaboration between probably the world's best known pianist of easy listening music and the scion of a prominent family of Indian santoor players. | | | Except for the album's final composition, a santoor solo titled "Celebration," it seems that the composer's own contributions have been made subservient to the name recognition of Richard Clayderman. | | | Sharma subsequently recorded the santoor contributions in India, after which Clayderman's arrangers and producers rewrote Sharma's original santoor scores for piano. |
