Call Of The Valley, Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia , Pt. Shivkumar Sharma, Shri. Brij Bhushan Ka Options

[Bhavita]

Call of the Valley needs no introduction! An album that set milestones and benchmark in Indian Classical Music and World Music. A symphony in Indian Classical Music, the genius of three brilliant artistes, their instruments and talent. Flute, Santoor and Guitar - Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, Pandit Shivkumar Sharma and Shri Brij Bhushan Kabra.

This was yet another musical album i grew up listening to. Waking up to the melodies of Raag Ahir Bhairav and Pahadi wafting through the air in the wee hours of the the morning. Playing this album became a ritual at home. Listening to Santoor transported me to Kashmir every time...The LP cover of this album is what inspired me as a child to start learning to paint - hills, landscapes , rivers...

Call of the valley truly paints a picture of Kashmir - with her mystical mountains and valleys, laden with tall freen pine trees and the Chinar, the sheep and the cattle wending their way on the slopes, grazing away... the sun kissed and snow clad peaks of the mighty Himalayas.
