Raga - Chandrakauns

Hirabai Barodekar performed Raga Chandrakauns as the third track on her compilation album The Great Heritage: Hirabai Barodekar. Saregama released the album on CD in 2011. The recording spans 17 minutes and 33 seconds.

Barodekar belonged to the Kirana gharana and specialized in khyal and lighter classical forms. Raga Chandrakauns exemplifies her command over melodic elaboration and rhythmic precision. The album compiles archival and studio recordings to showcase her contributions to Hindustani classical music. Saregama sourced the material from its vault of historical Indian classical performances.

The release format included a single CD with liner notes detailing Barodekar’s artistic lineage. The tracklist featured seven compositions, with Raga Chandrakauns positioned as the third entry. No additional session musicians or accompanying artists received credit for this specific recording. The album cover displayed a portrait of Barodekar alongside traditional motifs.

Context about the recording session’s original date and location remains undocumented in available sources. The 2011 release marked a posthumous tribute, as Barodekar passed away in 1989. Saregama’s reissue aimed to preserve her legacy for contemporary audiences.
