About Raga Bilaskhani Todi‐Khyal / Raga Mishra Bhairavi‐Tappa
Raga Bilaskhani Todi–Khyal / Raga Mishra Bhairavi–Tappa is a 1992 studio release by Hindustani classical vocalist Sulochana Brahaspati. The album presents two raga explorations in the khyal and tappa forms, showcasing traditional compositions with accompaniment details not documented in available sources.
Brahaspati performs four tracks divided between the two ragas. The first three tracks feature Raga Bilaskhani Todi in the khyal style. She opens with Tohe Sada Niharun in Vilambit Ektal, followed by Damaru Naad set to Jhaptal. The third track, Sajan More Aaye, adopts a Drut Ektal tempo. The final track shifts to Raga Mishra Bhairavi, rendering the tappa Ai Najaaron Di Baharaan.
The release format and label remain unverified in public records. The album reflects Brahaspati’s training under the Jaipur-Atrauli gharana, though specific session musicians or recording locations are not confirmed. The compositions adhere to the structural conventions of khyal and tappa, with improvisational alap and taan segments implied but not explicitly detailed in track annotations.
Notable for its pairing of a rare todi variant with a misra (mixed) bhairavi interpretation, the album exemplifies late 20th-century Hindustani vocal recordings. Further metadata on production credits, reissue history, or alternate editions is not available.
