My kind of place -- Pandit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt

Scintillating Switzerland

Be it for a break or for composing bandishen, nothing could be more ideal than Switzerland's alpine landscapes. I have visited this amazing landlocked country several times but I feel excited every time I go there. There is so much to see and experience.

A special feeling

I have also performed at several places including those bordering Germany, Italy and France. The German, French and Italian influences give a distinct touch to Swiss culture. The cities are spectacular and have historic value too. It's wonderful to play the mohanveena at Luzern, Lausane, Locarno, Basel, Winterthur, Thun and Zurich. They are picture perfect.

A few more favourites

There's something in the air of San Francisco that makes me feel energetic and positive. I particularly enjoy the Scenic Drive. I have tasted really yummy rasam and sambar in San Francisco.

Sit back and enjoy

When I visit these countries, I find it relaxing to move around in chauffeur-driven cars. It gets me into the mood to compose.
