About This Album
Soulful Duets: Bliss is a sitar and violin jugalbandi between Hidayat Khan and Indradeep Ghosh, with Enayet Hossain on tabla.
The two soloists share Raga Jhinjhoti, a lyrical night raga, across almost an hour: an alap, jor and jhala, then gats in vilambit (slow) and drut (fast) teental, in which sitar and violin answer each other phrase by phrase. A folk melody closes the album.
Indradeep Ghosh is one of India’s rare classical violinists, known for his special five-string violin, inspired by the Norwegian Hardanger fiddle, which gives a rich, resonant tone. Hidayat Khan is the son and disciple of Ustad Vilayat Khan. Part of Aimrec’s Soulful Duets series, which pairs the sitar with a different instrument on each album. Released by Aimrec in 2015 (AIMCDIM404).
