Review by Alison McLean

Raga Desh Evening Raga, a mesmerizing album by Ustad Vilayat Khan and Ustad Sabir Khan, is a true masterpiece of classical Indian music. The album features a collection of soulful and meditative tracks, each one showcasing the incredible talents of these two legendary musicians.

The album opens with a soothing rendition of Raga Desh, a beautiful evening raga that evokes a sense of calm and tranquility. The intricate interplay between the sitar and the tabla creates a hypnotic atmosphere that draws the listener in and keeps them captivated throughout the entire track.

As the album progresses, the duo explores the nuances of various ragas, each one more enchanting than the last. From the hauntingly beautiful Raga Bhairavi to the lively and energetic Raga Puriya Dhanashree, Ustad Vilayat Khan and Ustad Sabir Khan demonstrate their mastery of the art of Indian classical music.

The album concludes with a stunning rendition of Raga Khamaj, a joyful and uplifting raga that leaves the listener feeling uplifted and inspired. The intricate melodies and rhythms of the sitar and tabla create a joyous and celebratory atmosphere that is truly infectious.
