Teental

G.S. Sachdev performed Teental as the fifth track on the album Live in Concert, released under the Lyrichord label. The recording features a live rendition in the teental rhythmic cycle, a 16-beat structure fundamental to North Indian classical music. The track spans 8 minutes and 51 seconds and appears on a CD format release.

The album captures Sachdev’s performance on the bansuri (bamboo flute), though specific session details such as the accompanying artists, venue, or exact recording date remain undocumented in available sources. Teental exemplifies the improvisational alaap-jor-jhala progression typical of Hindustani instrumental recitals, with Sachdev’s interpretation emphasizing melodic development within the rhythmic framework. The composition adheres to traditional raga conventions, though the precise raga performed is not explicitly stated in the track metadata.

Lyrichord, a label specializing in world music and classical traditions, distributed the album as part of its catalog focusing on Indian classical performances. The release aligns with Sachdev’s broader discography, which prominently features bansuri recitals in both solo and collaborative settings. No additional production credits, liner notes, or alternate versions of this track are publicly verified.
