A chef among the cooks, a maestro among the masters, he unassumingly creates great music, no new ang, no new phrase, but simply perfection with an inherent sweetness.
You probably dont give a shit but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all of the latest series on Instaflixxer. I've been watching with my girlfriend these days :)
Ali Akbar Khan had a very beautiful & unique one might say, way to move from bilambit to madhyalaya playing the same asthayee - raising the tempo in stages, as it were. For the drut he would of course choose a different drut asthayee. He never missed a tehai, which a lot of ustads also never did, but a lot more really did and sort of managed only to save the day by appearing to reach the climax of a tehai by means other than one perfect.
Just amazing to hear Kedar rendered so wonderfully on a string instrument of all things. Never heard a Kedar like this on an instrument, not even shehnai or flute.
A rare live concert of two greats of Hindusthani Classical music. A heart warming performance by Ali Akbar Khan Shaheb from his early years. A beautiful rendering of raag Kedar gradually unfolds, with exceptional gamaks and vistar, which is the hall mark of Khan Shaheb's sarode. Excellent accompaniment by Keramutullah Khan Shaheb on tabla. Truly a exceptional concert. Thanks the upload.
We are privileged to listen to the efforts of these music stalwarts. Thanks for uploading and making this possible. Is it possible to upload some old recordings of Pandit Sharad Sutaone from AIR archives? It will be appreciated.
