Share music with great sitar playing

[AdamDam]

Are there any pieces of music where you appreciate the sitar playing? Feel free to share!

At the moment, my favorite sitar music is a version of the Hindustani classical raga “Bhimpalasri” by Nikhil Banerjee, from his Afternoon Ragas album (recorded in 1970); I’d consider Banerjee’s sitar playing on this recording to be almost hypnotic in that it always seems to put me in a calm state of mind.

The raga is divided into four sections, beginning with the slow, improvised Alap, before tabla player Kanai Dutta’s rhythms join in for the Slow Rupak Tal section. The tempo then increases during the Fast Tintal section, before culminating in the even faster Jhala to conclude the piece:
