Raga Bageshree Part 4

Raga Bageshree Part 4 is a khayal-based rendition performed by sitarist Subroto Roy Chowdhury as the fourth track on his 1995 studio album Bageshree. Released on May 1995 under the Tiptoe label, the album adopted the CD format and centered on explorations of Raga Bageshree, a late-evening raga in the Kafi thaat tradition of Hindustani classical music.

The track spans 10 minutes and 22 seconds, featuring Roy Chowdhury on sitar with accompaniment details unspecified in available sources. The composition adheres to the vilambit (slow) and drut (fast) sections characteristic of khayal interpretations, though specific taal or rhythmic cycle information remains undocumented. The album Bageshree marked one of Roy Chowdhury’s commercial releases during the 1990s, a period when he contributed to both solo recordings and collaborative projects within the Hindustani classical repertoire.

The Tiptoe label, active in the distribution of Indian classical and fusion music during the decade, produced the album without supplementary liner notes or artist statements in the original release. No reissues or remastered editions of Bageshree have been confirmed in public records. The tracklist sequence positions Raga Bageshree Part 4 as the final movement in a four-part series, suggesting a progressive development of the raga across the album. Further details on recording locations, session musicians, or production personnel are not accessible from existing documentation.
