I am 19 and I have a great interest in Classical Music. Ustad Abdul Karim Khan is one of my most favourite singer. I love to hear Shehnai of Ustad Bismillah Khan, Sitar of Ustad Vilayat Khan, Tabla of Ustad Zakir Hassan and Voice of Ustad Karim Khan, Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, Ustad Amir Khan, etc.
This vilampat is a haunting melody! It comes from somewhere distant in the full moon Holi night, whether some one playing or not. Alas! We were born a little too late.
Unfortunately, no long recording of ustad ab. Karim sahb has survived till today, Vilambit and drut rendition of raag basant.. Wahhh❤❤😭 m not from his era, but feeling very fortunate to listen this masterpiece Divine........................... plz remind me this masterpiece whenever you see my comment by liking or replying my comment
One of greatest singers,Who rule over your hearts ," GEM"of india, Master singer of World . उस्तादजींको विनम्र प्रणाम और आप सभी रसिक audience को भी प्रणाम
Probably Karim Khan Sahib is one of the Godfather of Hindustani Classical. His immortal voice is still available to us, itself is miracle. Thanks RU-vid & Record Co. & the classical lovers who dig out this jewel.
Amrit Patel Khan sahib was a genius. But you should not forget the one and only Pt. Vishnu Digambar Paluskar who is called as father of modern classical music during the age when recording started and he was the person who spread the classical music among the masses. He was senior to Ustad Khan Sahib. Unfortunately no record of him is available. However we are fortunate to hear his great son Pt. D.V.Paluskar and disciples like Pt. Vyas, Pt. Patawardhan, Pt. Omkarnath Thakur.
Got to know tonight from my music teacher that Pt. Bhimsen jhoshi Ran away from home to learn music from Ustad Abdul Karim khan sahib after listening to one of his shows near his hometown.....rest is history
Thanku for showing Abdul Karim Khan and balkrishna kapileshwaris song .. I am grandson of Balkrishna kapileshwari. I am very happy.. Thanku so much for this song. Shashikant parmekar. Bhedshi
One and only Khansahib as was he known,spent lot of years in Karnataka esp North,where till this day it is Hindustani which has captivated the masses!All prominent shisyas come from here.Sawai Gandharwaji.Bhimsen joshiji,Gangubai Hangal to name a few
Faint memories just before the TV revolution (early 90s maybe) ... When radio or TV (only doordashan) would play such songs ... Entire locality would seem to be playing it wherever you go ... Surreal environment ... Was too young to realize the meaning of such ephimeral circumstances ... Miss it
It was said about Ustad Abdul Karim Khan that "Whatever he sang was music." When Aftab-e-Mausiki Ustad Faiaz Khan learned about Ustad Abdul Karim Khan Sahab Khan's death, he said, "Today music left India." It was also said that that Sri Sai Baba of Sirdi was very fond of Ustad Sahab's song.
একদম। আমিও কুদরত রঙ্গীবিরঙ্গীর তরুণ পাঠক হিসেবে বেশ আনন্দ পেলুম কমেন্টটি দেখে। তার আগের অংশটিও অবিস্মরণীয়। মৃত্যুর আগে মক্কার দিকে মুখ করে দরবারি গাইতে থাকলেন। ঘন অন্ধকার, নির্জন রাত।
Basant aa gaye aur bol raha hai ki aap kee awaz main may ruup paa kar dhanyaa hoo gaaya. Sur kee saraswati hain aap. 🙏🙏🙏🙏 aap jo bhi gaate hoo wohi ek nayaa rang laata hain.
Excellent. Ut. Abdul Karim Khan Sahab ka aawaz aur swar uchh koti hai. Listen to the bandish with the photo infront of you and it starts to come live and you can imagine yourself as one of them
The rendition surpasses all that I have so far in rag Basant. he spins a musical web of magic like no has done in my experience. A true maestro and divinely blessed persona.
I have loved Classical Indian music for 65 years , Khan sahib Abdul Karim khan is my absolute favorite , besides Surshri Kekar bai kerkar , and Ustad Vilayat Khan ( who i have seen in Amsterdam 6 times .
Excellent sound recording technique - the blend is so smooth one can’t even hear when one record ends and the other begins. Thanks also to RU-vid for providing the platform for younger listeners to get a taste of what music was really like in India back in the days.
goosebumps : definition. what a person feels when one listens to akk's renditions, particularly, raags such as Bhimpalasi, Jogia, Basant, Jhinjhoti, ... in no particular order.
I wonder why is there no movie on this musical legend; his personal and musical life both are very interesting. It will offer a good opportunity to depict those inspiring times.
Sharadji is there anyone singer in this world who can give this legendary character a playback voice? We are very unfortunate that Pt Bhimsen Joshi is no more. He would have surely done justice to it.
I am not fortunate to hear such golden voices live. But we had a gramophone and many 78 rpm discs. My maternal uncle was a fan of Khansaheb. He used to close his eyes and literally while listening to maestro's records in our house.
Dear vinay, I am very thankful to you for this great recording and the great artistic job you have done is remarkable. May be Karim Khan saheb's work is available easily or hardly but Vinay's work is really unique. May Lord Christ bless you with long life and good health and you keep bringing such great works in these forms. And this is true that there are very less people who can share the plight of music with Karim Khan saheb.
@sabtak1000 thank you, but these recordings are not really rare. They are always available on LPs, CDs or cassettes, and in the internet. What I have done is to join them in a single track so that they sound like a continuous performance - which it really isn't . An experiment if you like.
Maa SARASWATI JISKO BHI APNA AASHIRWAD DETI HAI VO KEVAL MANUSHYA HAI , KISI DHARAM K AADHAR PE AASHIRWAD SAMBHAV NAHI , LA JAWAB, BADE MIYA OR APNE DESH KI SANSKRITI KO CHARAN SPARSH
I have a few and they all were released on 12 inch records; I have many classics. I always play my records everyday on a 1911 Columbia Grafonola Gramophone. I am glad that you respect great music.
as critiques said whatever he sang is music, after Ustaad's death Faiyaj Khan Sahib commented Aj Hindusthanme sur mar gaya, what more common public like me can say, we are lucky to have some good recording of Malika e moushiki Roshan Ara Begam's singing to give us some glimpse of Ustaadji's singing
