"Pandit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, a Grammy Award-winning Rajasthan slide guitarist, presents a captivating journey through Indian classical music with his album released on April 22, 1988. This album, spanning 58 minutes, showcases Bhatt's mastery of the Mohan Veena, a unique instrument he created, blending the sounds of the sitar and the guitar.
The album features two intricate ragas, 'Raga Bihag' and 'Raga Nat Bhairavi', each presented in a slow 'Alap' followed by a 'Gat' in both 'Vilambit' (slow) and 'Drut' (fast) tempos, accompanied by the rhythmic 'Teentaal'. The album concludes with a 'Mishra Pilu Dhun' in 'Dadrataal', offering a diverse exploration of Indian classical music's rich tapestry.
Bhatt's collaboration with Pandit Subhen Chatterjee on the tabla creates a dynamic interplay, highlighting the depth and complexity of Indian classical music. This album is a testament to Bhatt's virtuosic skill and his significant contributions to the world of music, making it a compelling listen for both connoisseurs and newcomers to the genre."
