Thank you for sharing a very beautiful and rare concert from Pt. Ravi Shankar"s younger days filled with passion. The location, and the recording are very beautiful, we get to see a close up of all the musicians, including the thamboora player Kamala in a meditative mood at the end of the Rga Jogeshwari, wiping her tears around 30.00 minutes. I wish you had not edited the Raga at 30 minutes. Do you the beginning of the concert before the Tabla solo?

Amazing Jhaptaal by Ustad Alla Rakha and hypnotic Jogeshwari by Pandit Ravi Shankar full of pathos and serenity. Great performance by legendary artist Pandit ji. Depicting mighty sorrows of Raviji!
Yogeshwari (especially the alap) by the late Ravi Shankar is a great musical experience. And being able to appreciate it is an equal gift. Most people, in my experience, don't "get it" at all. they are looking for a melodic line, or a "beat," or harmony. This is pure "note," constantly explored, with many subtle "warps," near approaches and slides. Western music doesn't have anything quite like it. Nonetheless, the main notes here are the tonic and dominant of the major (western) scale.
I am listening for his sitar plying for almost 50 years and each time I listen to his sitar playing it appears to me all new. He was really a total genius. Devoting his whole life on sitar playing and
making it so popular through out the world.
