I'm not aware of many world-class violinists in the Hindustani tradition. May be some of you can educate me on this.
Till then enjoy a couple of recordings of a not-so-famous, but world-class nonetheless, violinist who has very few commercial recordings - Sisirkana Dhar Chowdhury. The first is Raga Bilaskhani Todi, set to Teentaal. Tabla accompaniment is by Ustad Zakir Hussain.
First two parts are included here. Part 3 will be in the next post.

Thanks for uploading the works of Sisr K Chowdhury.
I was not aware that she recorded a longer Bilas Khani
Todi. What I used to hear from AIR stations in the past
(1970s/1980s) was a 7 minuter recording. There was also
a very good recording of Bageshri by her. If by any good
chance you happen to have it, please do share.
