This may be my all-time favorite recording of Khansahab. One of the primary reasons is the extremely restrained accompaniment by pt. Chatur Lal. While many other great ustads accompanied Amir Khan, they often "boxed him in" with too many "filler" beats and adornments, often rushing the tempo. By contrast, Lal's nearly 1-second intervals between basic theka bols and nothing more, which he sustains with utter simplicity for a full 54 minutes, leaves Khansahab enough silence to create that transcendental feeling of infinite space which characterizes his very best work.

Thanks Subrataji. This is complete one hour recording of Rag Asavari being available for the first time. It is wonderful.

This may be the greatest Komal Asavri on record. It was sung for Jaipur All India radio barely couple of years prior to Khansahab’s unfortunate death. Subrata Babu, the music word shall ever remain beholden to you for this. Bless you !

Never heard such rendition before . Khan Sahab will stay in our memories forever.

Great ustad ji koti koti naman

Gurudev ko shatt shatt naman 💐🙏

Wah! His music is so spritual

No wards to say...shradhya...pranam... My feelings .Ustad jis sangeet means . Dhyan...

This raga is YOGIYA ! I put my hand in fire if I'm wrong !🙏🙏🙏

Could you please add "Gujari Todi" to the end of the title?

Please anyone give me the lyrics of the bandish which is in Jhoomra Taal

Who made ACCOMPANIMENT on Tabla ?

I never knew there is also Jhomara Tal of 13 beats.

I may be wrong, but I think there is no surprise or impromptu in AK's rendering. His whole presentation may be new, but is always practiced, grammatical, logical, matching progression from a brilliant alaap to the gat, every step well planned, meticulously designed and appealing to higher senses, like an erudite professor of mathematics. He is never frolicky or uneven, ever serious, deep, refined and never indulges in dialogues with the tabla to entertain the audience. And if you get intoxicated with the highest sort of order , control and discipline in his immaculate voice, it will be very difficult to be infatuated by his other contemporaries. But again, don't expect anything totally unexpected or unique.
