"This is raw solo sitar playing without the help of the tabla or tamboura, so it is a little hard to listen to at first as Chandra spends a long time slowly building the alap. At first it is hard to listen to even though his slow, serpentine note selection is very well studied. For those with a serious interest in icm only. For those not yet familiar to listening to Indian music, I would recommend Ravi Shankar at Monterrey Pop, Hasu Patel-Gayaki Sitar, or Nikhil Banerjee. This recording would be 100% better if he was accompanied by tamboura and tabla."
