Synopsis

Product Description

Shujaat Khan and Tejendra Narayan Majumdar are two of the finest young exponents of their respective gharanas, the Vilayatkhani Gharana and the Maihar Gharana and instruments, the sitar and the sarod. Shujaat and Tejendra present a sitar/sarod duet in the classic pre-sunrise raga Lalit, which has a contemplative and poignant mood. They combine originality with orthodoxy and individualism with synergy to impart a refreshingly different coherence to the duet as a presentation format.

CD Reviews

An excellent "sequel" to Charukeshi!

"Until today I hadn't listened to any Hindustani music for quite a while (aside from the Bhattacharya-Brozman cd, Mahima, which isn't straight Hindustani). Just not in the mood, I guess. I didn't necessarily think I was in the mood today either, but I saw this on one of my shelves and decided to pop it in since I hadn't heard it in so long. I made an excellent choice, if I do say so myself!First thing is first. I'm not a fan of the way this cd is listed on this site. This is not just a Shujaat Khan cd. This is one of the jugalbandi (duet) cd's between Shujaat Khan (sitar) and Tejendra Narayan Majumdar (sarod). They are the best and most accomplished jugalbandi of their generation. This is their 2nd of 3 cd's. I think they have 3 now... the two I have had for a couple years and then a newer one.Here we have Shujaat, Tejendra, and Samar Saha (tabla) taking us for a ride in Raga Lalit. It's been an equally long time since I listened to Shujaat and Tejendra's Raga Charukeshi cd so I won't be giving a real head-to-head comparison but I remember loving that one enough to get this one.These two just have something together that can't be put into words. Besides just the fact that I am a sucker for the sarod-and-sitar combo, these 2 guys are excellent together. I think this one really starts to take off around the 10 minute mark. The tail end of the alap is gorgeous, and the gats do not disappoint.If you've never heard a jugalbandi before, this would be a fine place to start, and if you've heard these 2 separately but never together, you really should get this."
