Hindustani music has various ragas dedicated to the two most awaited seasons - spring and monsoon. In this album, shehnai maestro Bismillah Khan renders the music of these seasons. The album begins with a vilambit rendition of raga Hamir Bahar, night raga of the Kalyan family, which evokes the mood of spring. This is followed by a beautiful rendition of raga Mishra Mel Ki Malhar, which gives room for a lot of improvisation. The album concludes with a kajri, a folk form of the rainy season. |
