Hey Mr Woebot,
here I am, just noticed the thread now...mmm, where to start from?...there's so much...
I think the "Raga guide" double cd is a good recommendation.
Here are mine.
Hindustani (North Indian Classical Music) Vocal:
Amir Khan
Dagar Brothers (of course)
Bhimsen Joshi
Bade Ghulam Ali Khan
Munawar Ali Khan
Amanat Ali Khan
Paluskar
Sarahang (recommended to me, haven't checked it yet!)
Hindustani Instrumental:
Hariprasad Chaurasia (Bansuri/Flute, when he's playing deep long notes and not showing off!)
Pannalal Gosh (Bansuri/Flute, mystical)
Imrat Khan (the Surbahar!)
Ustad Zia Mohiuddin Dagar (the Rudra Veena, the ancient sitar, deepest low notes)
Bismillah Khan of course (Shenai, important instrument in Indian celebrations)
Ali Ahmad Hussain (Shenai, softer than Bismillah which can be a bit harsh...)
Hiralal and his company (Amazing Shenai player, more folk, street than the 2 above)
Akbar Khan (Sarod, Of course)
Ram Narayan (Sarangi)
Sultan Khan (Sarangi with Zakir Hussain...)
Allaudin Khan (tutor/master to Ravi Shankar, Akbar Khan...)
That's for the Hindustani...next time Bollywood?
