Raga Chandramauli Vilambit

Raga Chandramauli Vilambit is a short instrumental composition performed by Pannalal Ghosh, a pioneering Indian classical flutist and composer. The track appears as the opening piece on the compilation album The Great Heritage – Pt. Pannalal Ghosh, released on CD by Saregama in 2011.

The recording captures Ghosh’s interpretation of Raga Chandramauli in a vilambit (slow) tempo. The track spans 2 minutes and 59 seconds, showcasing his signature bansuri (bamboo flute) technique. The album compiles archival material, though the exact recording date of this track remains undocumented in available sources.

Pannalal Ghosh (1911–1960) expanded the role of the bansuri in Hindustani classical music by modifying its structure and developing advanced playing methods. His contributions influenced subsequent generations of flute performers. The Great Heritage – Pt. Pannalal Ghosh features selections from his repertoire, curated to highlight his artistic legacy.

The album carries no additional production credits or session details in the provided context. Saregama, the label, specializes in preserving and distributing Indian classical and traditional music recordings. The compilation format suggests an emphasis on Ghosh’s foundational work rather than a single thematic or chronological presentation.
