Raag Adana | Pt. Balwantrai Bhatt 'Bhavrang' | Jhaptaal and Chaturang

This recording features Pt. Balwantrai Bhatt presenting Raag Adana during his tour of the United States in the 1980s, when he performed and taught across multiple cities, introducing audiences abroad to the depth and discipline of the Hindustani classical tradition. The presentation includes two contrasting compositions, each highlighting a different facet of Raag Adana: The first composition is set to Jhaptaal (10 beats), unfolding the raga’s assertive yet elegant character with clarity of lay and controlled melodic movement. The second composition is in the Chaturang style which integrates bol, sargam, tarana syllables, and rhythmic play (percussions) demonstrating both intellectual command and performative vitality, set to Teentaal (16 beats). Vocal support is provided by Dr. Swaravandana Sharma (his daughter) and Harriotte Hurie (Disciple) adding tonal balance and reinforcing the melodic contours. Late Pt. Chhotelal Mishra ji accompanies on Tabla, offering a firm yet responsive rhythmic framework throughout the performance.
