About Raga Bhairavi (sitar)
Raga Bhairavi is an Indian classical music album by sitar maestro Vilayat Khan. India Archive Music released the album in 1991. The release is an official production in CD format.
Vilayat Khan performs the raga Bhairavi on the sitar. The album contains two tracks. The first track, "Alap," presents the introductory section of the raga. The second track, "Jor," follows with a rhythmic development of the melodic framework.
The recording captures a traditional Hindustani classical performance structure. Vilayat Khan explores the raga through alap, jor, and jhala, though the full jhala section is not listed in the provided track details. The album adheres to the conventions of instrumental khayal gayaki ang, a vocal-influenced style of sitar playing that Vilayat Khan popularized.
