Lovers' Conversation, Composer Arjan Daswani Options

[Bhavita]

Lovely compositions, rendered ever so beautifully by my favourite artistes: Santoor - Pt. Tarun Bhattacharya, Flute - Pt. Ronu Majumdar, Saarangi - Ustad Liyaqat Ali Khan. I only wish, personally that in some of the compositions, the orchestration was not included - it seems to have taken away the magic from the melody.

I think this is based on a 'misharan" of ragas. At the begining it seems like it is Raag Jogia, then Raag Bhairavi and then Raag Kirwani. What do you think?

I think from the perspective of scale, it was largely Kirwani. From the perspective of adhering to the raag-bhaav, they did an ok job of sticking to Kirwani in the alap section but during the rhythmic section, Kirwani only seemed to make a guest appearance. There were scalar visits to other ragas including Bhairavi, jogia/gunkali, nat bhairav but I'd be hard-pressed to come up with a name for it - perhaps the reason why they chose to omit it from the liner notes.
