Recording date: October 1994 (Tokyo)

Although the technical production is excellent, one must make mention of the fact that the thin-paper liner notes do not give even raga & tala, although they do make other remarks. The present ascriptions were double-checked with an associate of the artiste.

Track #5 is sung, and quite well.
