A Personal list of best Sitar & Sarod Records.


Sitar:

Ravi Shankar: Raga Ramkali. Bhairav"That" with unique use of Tivra Madhyam.

Vilayat Khan: Raga Saajgiri. Marwa "That" with occasional use of Shuddha Madhyam.

Nikhil Banerjee: Raga Shyam Kedar. A blend of Shyam Kalyan & Kedar.

Indraneel Bhattacharya: Ragas Puriya Dhanasri, Bagesri, Bihag & Khamach. Even though Nikhil Banerjee is supposed to have absorbed both Maihar & Etwah gharana styles, it is not evident in his playing. Only in Indraneel's playing it is evident because his first guru was from Etwah gharana & later he was trained by Allauddin Khan of Maihar.

Balaram Pathak: Ragas Ahir Bhairav & Peelu.
Unmatched delicacy of touch.
 
Debu Chaudhury: Senia gharana. Ahir Bhairav & Maru Bihag.

Budhaditya Mukerjee: Ragas Lalit & Sahana.

Sarod;

Ali Akbar Khan: Raga Malayalam: Named after his parents. Yaman "That."

Amjad Ali Khan: Raga Shyam Shree: Blend of Shyam Kalyan & Shree. Marwa "That."

Buddhadev Dasgupta: Raga Kamod. Rarely recorded. Professional Engineer.
