Pandit Bhimsen Joshi & Dr Balamurali Krishna Duet - Raga Bhairav @ Royal Festival Hall, London

In October 1994 Sama Arts and Navras Records presented an All-Night concert at London’s prestigious Royal Festival Hall. Top of the event billing were the two of the greatest vocalists of Hindustani and Carnatic music traditions, Bharat Ratna Pandit Bhimsen Joshi and Padma Vibhushan Dr M Balamurali Krishna. This performance was released on the Navras Catalogue (title reference NRCD 0088). While no formal professional video recording of the concert was done, there exists an informal in-house video record to help with mastering process. An excerpt of that performance of the early morning Raga Bhairav is shared here. Apologies for the granular quality of a single camera VHS video filming.
