Mr. Vithal Rao Korgaokar of Hubli is one of many of prominent harmonium artists who recorded in India during the 20s and 30s.
Side A, Pārkar Arj Suno, is a dusk raga (Puriya‑Dhanashree) that is serious and emotionally introspective.
Side B, Lāge Hridayī Hur‑Hur, translates loosely to “My heart flutters”, with the phrase “Hur‑Hur” (हुर हुर) expressing romantic longing and emotional agitation. Here, we have an evening raga (Yaman) that expresses devotion, purity, longing, and calm.
Believed to have been recorded circa 1925.
