Pure bliss. Feeling blessed. Music coming from the soul of the master. My deepest admiration for Ustad Ali Akbar Khan. Sarod was created so that one day Ustad Ali Akbar Khan can play it. My heart fills with ecstasy every time I listen to him. Want to keep listening him till my last breath.❤️🙏🙏

It is pure manifestation of soul, nothing else. It is hard to believe in future that such kind of music can be created. Every time when I listen Ustad, always fed away in seconds. I admire him.

Thank you Ustad Ali Akbar Khan for giving us the greatest gifts of music. I have been listening to your music from a very early age and now I am almost 55 and your music still stirs my soul the same way. May you rest in peace always...!!!

I agree that Kirwaani is an easily likeable raag. Any new performer can get quick applaud or acclaim by playing it specially on Sitar Sarod and Violine. So many have played did raag.Its Carnatic flavour and some style remains even while played and sung in North Indian Style.so this fusion gives another flavour.Maestros like Ravishankar Ali Akbar Amjad Ail Khan Shvkumr Dharma Parween Malini Rajurkar Ashwini Bhide Budhaditya Nikhil Bannrjy have proved that this Raag has extraordinary potencials .

I find it hard to like Kirwani, but the Ustad makes you like everything he touches! Beautiful, and such appropriate and delicate accompaniment by Shankar Ghosh ji. Extremely well recorded too. Thank you very much.

We cannot deny his mastery which comes from his gharana and his father Ustad Allaudiin Khan's teaching and he has kept this tradition by bringing his son Ashish to as greater heights as himself. Listen to his jugalbandi with Indranil Bhattacharya again on raag kirwani.

This is a truly wonderful recording. I can't thank the uploader enough🙏🙏🙏🙏

tears in my eyes..this is unexplainable

One of the greatest musicians of all time. Simply celestial.

This piece is a life changing piece for me. I finally understand how Khansab could break a gat into a million pieces. Play like a lion!!!

This musical program is just a drop of musical ocean Ustad Ali Akbar Khan .

One the best Sarod ever played on earth .

The geneneous Ustad Ali Akabar Khan has another creation that I heard continuously ie Raga Chandaranadan !! The very speciality of his creation is it become "Masterpiece" & tempt rest of Artist to play on their instrument !! And they present successfully !! Such is the effect of his creation!!!! Shri Brija Bhushan Kabra has played Raga Chandranadan on his Guitar is also outcome of his Great Creation!! That is another best music piece!! Thanks for such beautiful uploading!!!

Extraordinary blend of pathos , joy and bliss! Exquisitely beautiful rendition!

The tabla player is just amazing...wow!!!

Wow what a raag and what a finish!!!! Khan Saheb you truly are the greatest :):):)

I'd been searching this recording since decades that I heard in my boyhood. Uploader ke ajasra dhaynabud.

Kirwani is in western terms the harmonic minor. As such it is dissimilar to other ragas and can be played without too much concern about treading on the toes of other ragas. If one were compose chords to this raga they could be ; Cm, Fm, G, and from there you can create more obtuse variations. Two pentatonics that stand out are Sarang and ChandraKauns.

Nice, and great Tabla accompaniment.

Heavenly music! What an ease and so profound and perfect rendition of this South Indian melody mode!!! Ayub Aulia-London

Kya baat hai! Saaz ke saath ek ho jaana isey kehte hain. Ali Akbar Khan sahab aur Sultan Khan sahab mein dono ye ghazab ki khoobi thi!

Lion du Bengale Ali Akbar Khan au Sarod qui a aussi joué avec le Grand Maitre Ravi Shankar ....Quelle merveille .

No words...what can we possibly utter after this!

I totally agree with the comments of Mr Shakil Ahmed & Shri Yogeshchandra!! Such is the effect of Sarod! After all he is disciple of the Great Ustad Allauddin Khansaab lived for 110 years! Ofcourse also his Son. Ustad Alluddin Khan was a master handling number instruments! Both Pandit Ravishankar & Ustad Alluddin khan had a rigorous "Riyaz" achieved mastery in their instruments! Both were very "Pakka" master in Taal! Those were the Golden days in Bombay I attended number times and enjoyed this celestial Music! Thanks for uploading!!

What wonderful music. I love his artistry.

Heavenly... lucky almighty, who is listening to the maestro now

Dil ko choo leti hai inke sarod ki awaaz

0ld is gold in real sense.aliakbar & nikhil played few duets.all are excellent .Thanks for your uploading.

The greatest master of this wonderful instrument.

bahut khoob Sir

I have attended his concert...his fingers dance on that sarod...

Thanks for uploading this. Charming and exquisite!!

Awsome and soothing. The Raag was made famous through the popular Ghazal maestro, the late Ustad Mehdi Hassan Saheb when he sang lyrics composed by Ahmed Faraz entitled "Shola Tha Jal Bujhaa hoon"

what a beautiful mood Ustadji creates...kya baat hai!

Although the origin of this raga Kirwani is from South Indian Karnataki music, these two masteroes, Ustad Ali Akbar Khan and Pt. Ravi Shankar played this raga in such a style, it always sounded to be an original North Indian raga and gave the audience the immense pleasure. Pt. Shankar Ghosh as usual in his best form on tabla.

extra ordinary playing style amazing touches heart thank you for post.

Really amazing.. Aftab Khan from Pakistan

I do appreciate the vinyl - Thanks So much!

THANK YOU SIR

MUSE WONDERFUL ABSOLUTE ON EARTH.

If notes could converse with the soul, this is how they would.

It's captivating

God of music

great sir

Wonderful

Ustad Ali Akbar Khan opened my eyes to the very deep layers of indian music in mid 1960:s. To my mind he is one of the very best musicians of the 20th century. How come nothing has emerged after this? Has music stopped?

it seems that this rag is meant for Sarod, it gives wonderful rendition than any other instrument!

Wonderful creation!!Simply geneneous like the Great Allauddin Khan sahib!! However; it is South Indian Raga; due to such creation from Ustad Aliakbar Khan it is being played on Santoor also,!! He has made this Raga popular!!!

Oh, i read your 'khalifa' comments in that blog in 2 places and then reached to this KZfaq's Kirwani.

I wonder how is it possible to hear any other sarod players. Ustadji has deified sarod or perhaps sarod has deified Ustad-ji. Sarod doesn't sound, so pure, so heavenly and blissful from anybody else. It will take centuries to even realize just how unimaginably beautiful Swarasamrat's music is.

One of my favorite ragas…can someone suggest a vocal rendition of this raga?

god!!!!!!!!!!

طرب طرب ولد عمي

subhanullah

Гений...

🙏🙏🙏😇💐🌹🌷⚘🌺🦋

Bliss

Who has given sangat on Tabla? Such a wonderful combination. I believe it is Ustad Allarkha himself

I hear the use komal nishad. Is that allowed in kirwani? I also heard it on Pt Nikhil Banargee's recording available on you tube too.

Mugdha Pathak: I do appreciate your note. Being me lost some what please enlighten me if I may help.

what is 27.55 beside Raga kirwani?

vilambit gat 2:56

U

sir i follow one blog, in which writer has referred your this comment and nicely added to that - indrayanikaathi.blogspot.com (Classical ka Don Kaun)

Who is tabla player?

Kirwani is an easy raag to like but soon becomes too much, very few performances are as good as this, especially the slow gath.

Wonderful! However, I like Ustad Abdul Hamid Jafar Khan's 'Kirwani' more.

Rajeev Taranath recorded a phenomenal Keervani (HMV cassette, with Yaman on the other side perhaps?) - very haunting and not as pretty as typically played. And he has brought out similar aspects in Chandranandan (though not so much in the published recordings).
