I have been listening to this recording n number of tines. Whenever I wish to understand the beauty spots of Bilaskhani I play this. Simply unparalleled. The depth and the maturity of swargyan is so ADBHUT. This clip and his clip of Marwa are monumental. Every student of Indian classical music should listen to them and try to assimilate and try to reproduce them. These 2 clips are the full-fledged tutorials of these two raagas.
Panditji has balanced the tinge of Bhairavi with the majesty of Miyanki Todi minus teewra Nishad plus komal Nishad as also minus teewra madham plus shudh madhyam ; to achieve the supreme sublimity of Bilaskhani Todi ! As for the purity of swaras, Panditji had no equal. As for the layakari, "supreme" will be a gross underestimate.
