Original LP Notes.: "The duet (Jugalbandi) presented in this album is unique - the violin, which is known as the Queen of Instruments is a perfect foil to the Sarod, which is the most dominant and powerful Instrument of North India, making it a matchless combination of sounds, as is the virtuosic and musical mastery of the two maestros, Ustad Ali Akbar Khan and Dr. L. Subramaniam."
Sonarupa.: Sarod maestro Ustad Ali Akbar Khan and Indian Violin exponent Dr. L. Subramaniam in a rare jugalbandhi. Ethereal Duets is a Collector's Edition. Ali Akbar Khan and L. Subramaniam were accompanied by Usatd Zakir Hussain on the tabla, V. Raghavan and K. Gopinath on the Mridangam, Sekhar on Tavil and R. Yogaraja on Moorsingh/Kanjira and Viji Subramaniam on Tanpura.
Wildstrings Comments: Recorded Live at Wheeler Auditorium, Berkley in 1982, this very rare live recording featuring Dr. L. Subramaniam on Violin, Ustad Ali Akbar Khan on Sarod and were accompanied by Ustad Zakir Hussain on Tabla and Ramnad V. Raghavan (Original Member of John McLaughlin's Shakti) on Mridangam and played Raga Jog In Teen Taal Mod. First time released on CD but shamefully no remastering, no linear notes, no photos and not even they mentioned the accompanied artists names who played in this album. However, A Highly Recommended Gem.)
