Behag
2009 June 6
Some time ago, someone gave me a cd “Thaanam” of Rama Varma playing the Veena, which, has among other things, a very beautiful Behag. The cd isn’t available commercially, so it’s nice to see his Behag on youtube (and some Kapi and Mishra Pilu). A meeting of Hindustani and Carnatic music:
Aalaapana and Thaanam
Thaanam and Ragamalika with a dash of some Bach

You’re awarded. I have to listen to the music soon- I love Behag. (Soma Ghosh sings it in an amazing jugalbandi with Bismisllah Khan in Ras Barse)
I heard the music- lovely! Thanks for these pieces.
Beautiful piece . Mesmerizing music from the celestial instrument of saraswathi . The sounds goes so deep in our soul thanks to rama varma.
The sounds of the strings from veena made me to fall in love with the instrument. Hope I will have chance to learn to play this instrument again someday in future. May be my son will fulfill my dream ; ).
Thanks for posting such selective piece of music in your blog. I visit your blog for this and of course for you best photography.
I love Behag as well(sounds silly saying fav. raags but i have my favs.).
