About シタール幻想2〜眞美のラーガ
シタール幻想2〜眞美のラーガ (transliterated: Sitar Gensō 2: Mami no Rāga) is a studio album released on April 21, 1988, under the SEVEN SEAS label. The recording appeared exclusively in CD format as an official commercial release.
The artist or ensemble responsible for the album remains undocumented in available sources. The release date coincided with a promotional event held on April 21, 1988, though specific details about the event’s location or scope are not recorded.
The album comprises three tracks rooted in North Indian classical music traditions. The opening piece, プリアダネシュリー (Puriya Dhanashree), establishes the raga framework for the recording. The second track, titled ラーガ：ラゲシュリ (Rāga: Rageshri), centers on the Rageshri raga, a melodic structure associated with late-night performances in the Hindustani classical repertoire. The final composition, ターラ：ジャープタール (Tāla: Jhaptāl), emphasizes the 10-beat jhaptāl rhythmic cycle, a common tal in instrumental and vocal classical music.
Instrumentation details are not explicitly confirmed, but the title suggests a primary focus on the sitar, a plucked string instrument central to Hindustani classical music. The album’s subtitle, 眞美のラーガ (Mami no Rāga), may reference a performer or thematic inspiration, though no verified attribution exists in public records. The cover art, track durations, and production personnel remain undocumented.
SEVEN SEAS, the issuing label, was active during the late 1980s and specialized in niche genre releases, including world music and classical crossovers. The catalog number or additional release metadata for this album is not preserved in accessible archives.
