I am really courteous to Mr Gyan Seth's great effort who actually made this video as a tribute to Ustad Vialyat Khan Sahab and to spread the message of Peace, tolerance and tradition through his compilation. His daughter, 'Tanya Seth' pointed out this fact to me.
also Courtesy to 'soulesprit's' channel on RU-vid , who initially uploaded that interview in three parts.
*Ustad Vilayat Khan (1928 - 2004) was one of India's well known sitar maestros.He recorded his first 78-RPM disc at the age of 8, and gave his last concert in 2004 at the age of 75.
The crafting of the gayaki ang (vocal style) involved modification of the instrument itself, along with playing techniques. Persevering through criticism and misunderstandings, the young man achieved the lyrical fluidity he wanted until the sitar took the might of his right hand strokes, and curved into the intricate oscillations of the human voice. Finally fellow musicians conceded that Vilayatkhani baaj not only replicated the voice on the sitar, but that few vocalists could make their voices sing as his strings did.
