Ulhas Kashalkar - Raga Shankara / Sanjh Saraval / Bhairavi

Ulhas Kashalkar's music is a blend of stylistic influences, having structural soundness, melodic richness, rhythmic dexterity, and a transparency of communicative intent. This CD, dedicated to sitarist Vilayat Khan, features raga "Shankara," an aggressive sound-picture of Shiva; raga "Sanjh Saravali," a sweet "night melody" created by Vilayat Khan; and raga "Bhairavi" reflecting the sadness of lovers' separation.
