About Raga : Khusrawani

Abdul Halim Jaffer Khan recorded Raga Khusrawani as the third track on his 1968 album Sitar Quintet. The label His Master’s Voice released the work on vinyl. The composition spans 6 minutes and 9 seconds.

The album showcases Khan’s interpretation of Raga Khusrawani, a raga associated with the Khamaj thaat. The recording features Khan on sitar, though the full ensemble lineup remains partially undocumented. The release date aligns with Khan’s mid-career period, during which he expanded the sitar’s role in ensemble performances.

Sitar Quintet reflects Khan’s approach to blending traditional raga structures with collaborative instrumentation. The vinyl format was standard for Indian classical releases of the era, and His Master’s Voice distributed the album as part of its classical music catalog. No additional production credits or alternate versions are confirmed from available sources.
