This is a collaboration album released in 1977 by Kalyani Roy, a sitar player considered one of the finest performers in India, and Vistas Ardeshir Balsara, who uses various keyboard instruments such as piano and accordion to play indian classical music. This is an excellent piece of extremely beautiful Indian classical music that is intoxicated by the soft and smooth melodies of sitar and acoustic piano, with rhythmic accompaniment by tabla player Mahapurush Mishra, throughout. The B-side features solo performances on sitar and piano. Balsara's piano playing technique is amazing. There are a few minor scratches, but it can be played without any stress.
