Raga Misra Pahadi

Raga Misra Pahadi is a live instrumental recording of the Hindustani classical raga Misra Pahadi. Vasant Rai performs the sarod, and Alla Rakha accompanies on the tabla. The performance was released in 1975. The recording captures a traditional alap, jor, and jhala structure followed by a rhythmic gat in teental. The label remains unconfirmed.

The raga Misra Pahadi blends elements of Pahadi and other ragas, creating a melodic framework that emphasizes the lower and middle octaves. Vasant Rai introduces the raga through a slow, meditative alap, gradually increasing tempo and complexity. Alla Rakha establishes the teental cycle during the gat section, providing rhythmic support and improvisational interplay.

The duration of the recording is 14 minutes and 42 seconds. The performance adheres to the conventions of Hindustani classical music, with extended improvisation and call-and-response patterns between the sarod and tabla. Specific release details, such as the album title or catalog number, are not available in the provided context.
