This 1991 Music Today pressing of "Basant Bahar Volume Two" pairs two giants—Bhimsen Joshi and Ravi Shankar—at their unhurried, expressive best. The recording has that unmistakable early-90s warmth: enough clarity to hear every nuance of Joshi’s taans and Shankar’s meends, yet still rounded and organic rather than overly polished.
Our copy’s recordCondition is graded Very Good Plus, so playback is clean and detailed, perfect for late-night listening or focused riyaz. The coverCondition is Very Good, with light shelf wear that feels more like history than damage—like it’s spent time on a careful collector’s shelf, not in a bargain bin.
If you grew up with cassette copies of these ragas, this CD feels like coming home, just with better sound and less tape hiss. If you’re newer to Indian classical, it’s a remarkably approachable way to settle into longer-form performances without feeling overwhelmed.
