Vilyat Khan & Bismillah Khan - Duets From India (Capitol - 1967)


Three stunningly beautiful ragas from Vilyat Khan on sitar, Bismillah Khan on shehnai, and Shanta Prasad accompanying them both on tabla. Side two opener "Chaiti-Dhun" is my personal favorite - "a typically lilting folk tune of India's Uttar Pradesh region," according to the liner notes. Joyous and mournful, this record is one of the most enduring pieces of music in my collection. Enjoy.
