Raga Bageshvari: Teentala

North India: Instrumental Music: Rudra Veena, Vichitra Veena, Sarod, Shahnai is a studio album released in 1989 under the Auvidis label. The recording features traditional Hindustani classical instruments in a series of raga performances. The format of the release is CD.

The fourth track, titled Raga Bageshvari: Teentala, spans 15 minutes and 3 seconds. Asad Ali Khan performs on the rudra veena, accompanied by Gopal Krishan on the vichitra veena and Ashok Roy on the sarod. The composition adheres to the structure of Raga Bageshvari, a late-night raga in the Kafi thaat, rendered in the 16-beat teentala rhythmic cycle. The track emphasizes alaap-jor-jhala development followed by a structured gat presentation.

The album captures a collaboration between instrumentalists associated with the Senia and Shahjahanpur gharanas. Asad Ali Khan represents the 19th generation of the Beenkar tradition, while Ashok Roy belongs to the Senia-Shahjahanpur sarod lineage. Gopal Krishan’s contribution on the vichitra veena aligns with the instrument’s role in dhrupad-based performances. The recording location and production personnel remain undocumented in available sources.

The release forms part of Auvidis’s series on North Indian classical music, though the total number of tracks and full tracklisting are not specified in the provided context. The label’s catalog during this period often featured field recordings and studio sessions of senior Hindustani musicians. Additional details about the album’s reception, alternate editions, or reissues are not confirmed.
