Chetulaara - Bhairavi - Adi

\"Chetulaara\" is a Carnatic music composition rendered in the raga Bhairavi and set to adi tala. Dr. N. Ramani performed the track as the opening piece on the 1997 album Pancharatna Krithis. The Master Recording Company released the album in CD format.

The recording spans 9 minutes and 16 seconds. The composition belongs to the pancharatna krithi repertoire traditionally attributed to Tyagaraja, though the album credits focus on Ramani’s interpretation. The label did not disclose additional session musicians or production personnel in available documentation.

Dr. N. Ramani (1934–2015) established himself as a flutist in the Carnatic tradition, known for his technical precision and adherence to classical frameworks. His rendition of \"Chetulaara\" reflects the raga’s contemplative and devotional character, emphasizing gamaka-inflected phrases and rhythmic alignment with adi tala. The album Pancharatna Krithis compiles five of Tyagaraja’s foundational works, though the full tracklist and sequencing beyond the first piece remain partially undocumented in public sources.

The Master Recording Company, based in Chennai, specialized in classical Indian music recordings during the 1990s. The 1997 CD release followed analog-to-digital transitions in the industry, though specific engineering details for this album are not archived. The track’s reception and commercial performance are not recorded in accessible critiques or sales data.
