I bought Aditya Verma's CD on amazon.com as a gift for a friend after buying my own at a concert in the Vancouver area last summer.

The Sarod playing is at once melodious and steeped in tradition yet fresh and exciting by virtue of brilliant flashes of speed executed with the grace of a master. His sense of rhythm was uncanny and was complemented by a strong rapport with Tabla player Vineet Vyas.

Aditya Verma has done a fair enough job of playing the basic chalan or framework of the ragas through rigrious listining of the maihar pandits and ustads and this is evident through several catch phrases.
however he lacks tayari or chops in laymans term. lets hope in future albums we hear more layakari (rythm) and tayari
