Raga Miyan Ki Todi: Jor

Imrat Khan performed Raga Miyan Ki Todi: Jor as the second track on the DVD-Audio release Surround Yourself with Hindustani Ragas. Nimbus Records issued the recording on June 14, 2005. The composition spans 4 minutes and 38 seconds.

The album presents Hindustani classical music in high-resolution surround sound. Khan rendered the piece on surbahar, a bass sitar variant known for its deep tonal resonance. The track exemplifies the jor section of Raga Miyan Ki Todi, a morning raga in the Todi thaat characterized by its intricate melodic development and emotional depth.

Limited documentation exists on the accompanying artists or production specifics for this release. The DVD-Audio format allowed for multi-channel playback, emphasizing the spatial dynamics of Khan’s performance. Nimbus Records specialized in audiophile recordings, and this release aligned with their focus on high-fidelity presentations of classical traditions.

Khan’s interpretation of Miyan Ki Todi adhered to the gayaki ang style, where instrumental phrasing mimics vocal nuances. The track omits percussive accompaniment, centering on the solo exploration of the raga’s structural and expressive elements. The album’s liner notes, where available, may provide further context on the recording session or Khan’s artistic approach.
