gap of almost 3 years.
They started with Raaga Rageshwaree in which they performed some special parts of
Allap Joda along with different shades in Teen Taal. During the concert they also
performed a Bandish - \'Phulwan ki Maala...,\' a Tarana \'Ta Num Tadare...\' and a fast
composition in Ati Drut... the Bandish & Tarana were also sang by Abhay. The
maestros were accompanied on the tabla by Ustad Rafi-u-ddin Sabri.
Both the maestros performed at their best, it looked like as if the two musical
streams are meeting in full flow at one platform. All the performances were
appreciated by the audience.
