Baïragi: Teen-tal vilambit

Inde du Nord: L’art de la vichitra vîna is a studio album centered on the vichitra vîna, a fretless slide instrument of North Indian classical music. The release features Gopal Krishan as the primary performer on the vichitra vîna, accompanied by Latif Ahmed Khan on tabla. Ocora issued the album on June 3, 2002, in compact disc format.

The second track, titled Baïragi, presents a rendition in raga Baïragi set to teen-tal in vilambit (lent) tempo. The composition spans 15 minutes and 20 seconds. The recording captures the instrumental interplay between Krishan’s melodic phrasing on the vichitra vîna and Khan’s rhythmic support on the tabla. No additional contextual details about the performance setting, recording location, or production personnel are provided in the available sources.

The album belongs to Ocora’s catalog of traditional and classical music releases, which often documents regional instrumental traditions. The label’s documentation for this release does not specify whether the tracks derive from live concerts or controlled studio sessions. The liner notes or accompanying booklet, if included with the physical CD, may offer further technical or historical commentary on the raga or the artists’ interpretive approaches.
