A new recording expanding our Indian vocal music collections, that sees legendary masters Like Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, Mallickarjun Mansur, Ustad Fayaz Khan, Balamurali Krishna, face to face with artists of the younger generations, (Sangeeta Bandiopadhyay, Anupama Bhagwat) and now SUPRIYO DUTTA, Hindustani vocalist from Kolkata. SUPRIYO in this CD, shows his skills in the classical khayal style, and in some semi-classical forms like tarana and dadra.
