Fusion with Pranesh Khan, Izumi Matsumoto and Taro Terahara

ムガールの栄光～アーシン・カーンのサロード is a studio album released on February 3, 1996, under the SEVEN SEAS label. The recording features a collaboration between sarod virtuoso Aashish Khan, tabla player Pranesh Khan, koto performer 松本泉美 (Izumi Matsumoto), and shakuhachi artist Taro Terahara. The album presents a fusion of North Indian classical music with traditional Japanese instrumentation.

The third track, titled ラーガ：ミシュラ・バイラヴィ (Rāga: Mishra Bhairavi), spans 15 minutes and 36 seconds. The composition centers on Raga Mishra Bhairavi, a morning raga known for its meditative and expansive character. Aashish Khan leads the performance on sarod, accompanied by Pranesh Khan on tabla. Izumi Matsumoto contributes koto passages that interweave with the raga’s melodic framework, while Taro Terahara’s shakuhachi introduces textural contrasts. The track exemplifies the album’s cross-cultural exploration by blending Hindustani classical improvisation with Japanese minimalist traditions.
