Beautifully sung Phaidra

Not forgetting Sahir Ludhianvi who wrote it.

He was the greatest singer of the sub continent, including I am constrained to say Rafi. Rafi's range was greater and his voice perfect at every level, but within Mehdi's more limited capacity he was more than perfection.

Aakar need improving. Training may help. Mehdi Hassan gave up classical music because according to him his aakar were not suited to pure classical. This girl though good, needs to work on her enunciation, especially her long a. Her Ranjha sounds like Runjha

That gentlemen is the Sitar, the Santoor and the Bansuri (flute) playing Raag Pahari. If any of you know Indian classical music you would recognize Kabra, Sharma and Chaurasia playing together as a triple.

This is Rag Pahadi. If you know the Hindi film song Isharon Isharon mein dil lene wale, it is the same raag. Or Punjabi tappe which are also in Pahari. This is an Jugalbandi performed quite competently.
