Raga: Bihag (Gat In Vilambit Teental)

Raga: Bihag (Gat In Vilambit Teental) is a live instrumental recording by sitarist Shahid Parvez accompanied by tabla player Enayet Hossain. The track appears as the second composition on the album Live in Concert, released on February 7, 2012 under the Aimrec label. The performance adopts the vilambit (slow) tempo within the Teental rhythmic cycle, a 16-beat structure common in North Indian classical music.

The recording spans 17 minutes and 11 seconds, showcasing an elaboration of Raga Bihag, a late-evening raga characterized by its use of komal ni (flattened seventh) and shuddha ma (natural fourth) in ascent and descent. Shahid Parvez executes the gat (fixed melodic composition) with intricate taans (fast melodic phrases) and meend (glissando techniques), while Enayet Hossain provides rhythmic support through traditional tabla accompaniment. The album format is CD, with no confirmed digital reissues or alternate editions documented.

The Live in Concert release captures a single performance session, though the exact venue and recording date remain undocumented in available sources. The album emphasizes improvisational interplay between sitar and tabla, adhering to the conventions of the khayal-influenced instrumental tradition. No lyricists, composers, or additional session musicians are credited for this track. The label Aimrec specializes in Indian classical music recordings, though further catalog details for this specific release are not widely published.
