From the annual music festival held in the town of Vrindaban, 90 miles south of Delhi, Richard Widdess presents Dhrupad, the contemplative, highly ornamented classical style of northern India, perfected at the court of the Mogul emperor Akbar. Featuring the pakhavaj drum and the rudra vina - an ancestor of the sitar, with a duet addressed to the god
Krishna sung by members of the Mallik family, who were court musicians for generations.
