Râgâ Kîrvâni: Râgam

L. Subramaniam recorded Râgâ Kîrvâni: Râgam for the album Le violon de l’Inde du Sud. The track appears as side C1 on the original 1984 release. The composition spans 8 minutes and 37 seconds. The album features Subramaniam on violin, showcasing Carnatic classical traditions through instrumental performance.

Ocora issued the album on 12\" vinyl in 1984. The label specialized in world music and ethnographic recordings during this period. Le violon de l’Inde du Sud highlights Subramaniam’s interpretation of South Indian classical raga structures. The track Râgâ Kîrvâni: Râgam exemplifies the Kirvani raga, a janya raga derived from the 21st melakarta scale (Keeravani). The recording captures the violin’s expressive capabilities in alapana, neraval, and kalpana swaram sections, though specific session musicians or accompanying artists remain undocumented in available sources.

The album cover and liner notes provide context for Subramaniam’s fusion of technical precision and improvisational skill. Ocora’s production emphasizes acoustic clarity, preserving the nuances of Carnatic violin technique. The vinyl format reflects the era’s standard for high-fidelity classical music distribution. No reissues or digital remasters of this exact recording are confirmed in public records as of the latest updates.
