As an additional comment, I have heard one recording where Khansahib breaks a string in the middle of the performance. At that very moment, of course, he must stop and install a new string. Without so much as losing a beat, Sri Swapan improvises a wonderful solo during which time Khansahib puts the new string on, stretches and tunes it. Then he resumes playing as before. To this the crowd responds, and rightfully so, with a gentle applause of admiration. Nothing but joy on stage when these gentlemen begin to play.

Swarsamrat Khan Sahib is a musician's musician, siddha in sur, taal, laya and above all expression of rasa....my soul cries out in joy and in pain of losing him 😊at the same time......his music leads us to the source of infinite light and energy. My pranams ❤

6:37 sounds like something from heaven, what an alap that was!! Just BEAUTIFUL!

I thik he is God. Pranam ustad ji.

Unçompàràble

Pure divinity !! Can mature and evolve one. It can erase one's petty concerns and problems---such is the grandeur and depth of this music !!

Most completed ,most wonderfull composer i've ever heard...!!

Sarod ka Saaz bohot mushkil hai. Ali Akbar Khansahab ne saaz kitne behtareen Sur me milaya hai yani tune kiya hai. His playing also is incredible and unique. TRIBUTES.

opening my heart to the divine light. thank you for posting this, thank you very much.

What an amazing recording! Ki sundor! And thank you for the upload.

Mesmerising music with caressing notes in the melodious rag - Jhinjhoti that is unique and will perhaps not be listened to from any other Sarod player.

So much rasa, I'm spellbound.......

yeah! they makeit look so easy! after working hard 18 hrs a day for 50 yrs!

brilliant! swapans de re de re is lazer here.

Excellent performance. Thank you for uploading.

Waa Ustad...

1986? tablameister? Videorecording of a live-Konzert? Was I there? Which city, which country?

what does the girl in the back do? does she play an instrument? beautiful soulful music.

It is the most wonderful Jhinjhoti ever heard by me, perfectly in Swar, Laya & Taal. Bewitching in melodic contents. It has great depth. The musician' musical Truth comes to the listeners most spontaneously. K M Tiwari, Alld.

Beautiful concert Salaams to the great Artists God Bless Thanks Kasturi G

I love this recording, recorded in Alberta Canada if I'm not mistaken. Young musicians would be well served to listen to this. Lots of virtuosity but not at the expense of soul. These great musicians make it look so easy..as it should be!

A superb rendition. Moved to tears--pure joy !! Shri Ravi Shankar has also played a marvellous Jhinjhoti--search for it on youtube.

Heartfelt thanks for this mesmerizing upload. He truly makes the sarod sing, as did his illustrious father!

Magnificent performance...both gentlemen and the accompanists as well have transcended both time and space with this performance. The second half of the program, available in another video, is equally wonderful. I wonder if anybody was recording this with proper audio equipment (as opposed to videotape only)?? What a wonderful CD release this would make!

I love the way Khansaheb contemplates his next variation. He said to me once that he is very careful about portraying the Raag correctly, I see that care in every stroke.

amazing thanx for uploading

from subtle inflection emerges the cry of joy. . . . . . . . . .

Truly, Indian classical music has a divine touch that sets human mind at rest and gives a blissful experience. Only, you must have a keen desire to be one with it. Subhash Ramchandra Sonawane Kothrud, Pune S.Subhash Kpmi on facebook

Probably a student, she is most likely playing the Tanpura(tamboura) a drone instrument. Looks easy but with a great master, he hears everything.

good upload

thank you for an excellent uploading , pls upload the patdeep rag bilambit vocal if possible
