Great recommendations. Here's a few more:
My favorite Indian performance is probably a collaboration with Ravi Shankar and Yehudi Menuhin called West Meets East -- riveting. His raga collection "From Dusk to Dawn" is also nice.
For fans of 'A Meeting...' VM Bhatt has another fine recording on Water Lily called 'Saradamani.' He also has another with Taj Mahal called 'Mumtaz Mahal' theat serves as my reference for soundstaging.
Shiv Kumar Sharma (playing santoor): 'The Valley Recalls' with Hariprasad Chaurasia (flute). Both have many fine recordings.
Kalhor and Khan: 'Ghazal'; also 'Moon rise....'
Ali Akbar Khan -- my favorite (musically) is 'Journey,' but there was a 'signature series' remastered by Bob Ludwig and Mark Levinson that has wonderful sonics.
