Call of the Valley is a 1968 studio album by Indian classical musicians Shivkumar Sharma, Hariprasad Chaurasia and Brij Bhushan Kabra. His Master’s Voice released the recording on a 12\" vinyl format. The album represents a fusion of North Indian classical music with instrumental arrangements that emphasize the santoor, bansuri and guitar.
The B1 track spans 19 minutes and 14 seconds and consists of three movements. The first movement features Raag Bhoop set to Jhap Tala. The second movement shifts to Raag Des in Dadra Tala. The third movement concludes with Raag Pahadi in Kehrawa Tala. Shivkumar Sharma performs on santoor, Hariprasad Chaurasia on bansuri and Brij Bhushan Kabra on guitar. The composition reflects the collaborative improvisation typical of Hindustani classical traditions.
The album gained recognition for its experimental integration of the guitar into classical Indian ensembles, a departure from conventional instrumentation. Additional details about the recording sessions, production personnel or alternate releases remain undocumented in the provided context.
