About Rageshwari
Rageshwari is a raga-based instrumental composition performed by sarod maestro Amjad Ali Khan. The track appears as the second piece on his 1990 studio album Swar Tarang, released under the T-Series label. The recording spans 24 minutes and 36 seconds, showcasing Khan’s interpretation of Raga Rageshwari, a raga associated with the late evening or early night raag tradition in Hindustani classical music.
The album Swar Tarang was issued in CD format and marked one of Khan’s prominent commercial releases during the 1990s. The composition emphasizes the sarod’s deep, resonant tones and intricate taan patterns, accompanied by traditional percussion support, though specific accompanying artists remain undocumented in available sources. The track exemplifies Khan’s signature style, blending technical precision with emotive phrasing characteristic of the Senia Shahjahanpur gharana, to which he belongs.
No additional production credits, recording locations, or alternate versions of the track are publicly verified. The album’s release date is confirmed as 1990, with T-Series serving as the primary distributor. Swar Tarang contributed to Khan’s discography as a solo artist, reinforcing his reputation as a leading exponent of the sarod in the late 20th century.
