In the domain of Indian Classical Music ,an artist or performer has some special raags in their repertoire. They become associated with those raags , these raags become their "trademarks" in a way. Also some raags have special significance with certain artists due to their tradition of "Gharana" training or their own style or expertise.
In the following list , I have avoided names of certain special raags either composed or sung specifically by veterans and could be labeled as "rare". They have been listed in other blog post.
Here is the link to that post
My recommendations , a list that I have created ( Work In Progress would continue for ever! ), based on my experiences till date, of the performances enjoyed either live or recorded. Suggestions , recommendations, additions from connoisseurs are most welcome.
