(via Annapurna Devi, Reclusive Indian Musician and Teacher, Dies at 91 - The New York Times)

Annapurna Devi an undated photo. She played the surbahar, often described as a bass sitar, and the relatively few people who heard her before she stopped performing early in her career were amazed by her mastery of it.

Annapurna Devi, a noted Indian musician and teacher whose decision to stop performing relatively early in her career made her something of an enigma, died on Oct. 13 in Mumbai. She was 91.
