This was about the time that Hari ji was suddenly getting wider exposure in England. He appeared on CDs on the ECM and Nimbus labels in 1987 and it was also about this time that I was discovering Indian Classical music.
Hariprasad Chaurasia: bansuri
Zakir Hussain: tabla
(unknown tanpura)
The music was split up as noted below and I have seamlessly joined the pieces together for easier listening. I have not included the extremely brief announcer (total of 21 seconds). No other processing was performed on the audio.
The (unedited by me) original info file for this recording is as follows:
--------------------------------------
Hariprasad Chaurasia & Zakir Hussain
"Another World"
BBC Radio 3 broadcast
1987-05-16
Hariprasad Chaurasia : Flute
Zakir Hussain : Tabla
+ additional musician on stringed instrument??

Cassette playback on Pioneer CT-S550S with azimuth correction >

Note: The Sony JE530 is a minidisc recorder, however
a pure digital output is available when using it as a
"passthrough" device. Therefore, despite the presence
of a minidisc device in this lineage there is no MD/
ATRAC compression.

I have May 26, 1986 as the date. Perhaps the 1987 date was for the broadcast and 1986 for the recording itself.
