Ali Akbar Khan Raga Kirwani Recorded in Concert 1967

[@ychandra22]

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.

[@sirajghosh]

ekdam sahi baat....Ustad Ali Akbar's music comes out of the deepest part of your inner being....you cannot just calculate and pre-plan and play this kind of music....this directly comes out from the heart of a man who has got to a simply different level through his relentless dedication and love...aisa koi hae nahin aur...

[@texturator936]

I just love work while listening such music. I do progamming, coding websites. Amazing how time is flying while enjoying music coming from India and near surroundings :)

[@1958zain]

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...!!!

[@arnabsarod]

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.

[@joypant3964]

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 .

[@tirthankarsinha3625]

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

[@chiwukulakrishnamurthy2044]

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!!!

[@harjinderlallie]

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

[@mmypainting]

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.

[@sudhinathsarkar2631]

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

[@surjitkohli8757]

Can we possibly add 'poignancy' as well? It probably blends as suitably as your very cleverly chosen words.

[@kallolchowdhury9092]

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

[@battlewolfe2083]

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!!!

[@AMEER0IS0KING]

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!

[@redskywalker137]

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

[@shahvivek]

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

[@chiwukulakrishnamurthy2044]

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!!

[@goutomchakroborty1002]

[@toosinbeymen6304]

What wonderful music. I love his artistry.

[@gautamdeusa]

Thanks for uploading this. Charming and exquisite!!

[@rafeekshah4067]

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"

[@surjitkohli8757]

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.

[@1958zain]

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

[@ramshyam1945]

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

[@tivremadhyam]

[@vbdnadoc9818]

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

[@jafarshah168]

Try listening to Ustad Mahdi Hassan singing “Shola tha jal bujha hoon hawaeen mujhay na do “

[@vandanaupadhye7718]

Awesome !

[@milindkulkarni1208]

Excellent !!!!

[@subhasishbanerjeeofficial1925]

It's captivating

[@sekharkar125]

So absorbing. Sound is god.

[@stenjerdenius1683]

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?

[@neelpatil1492]

sir I believe... Classical music will never end......nd I'm also hopeful a new legend will emerge too..!

[@universe999]

THANK YOU SIR

[@kumarchakraborty3255]

Wonderful

[@pramodnatu]

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

[@jacebanasik4482]

Slap that like if you're here for that MWP

[@kirakustime1215]

Love you Jace

[@jaubiband1888]

What is MWP?

[@mugdhapathak1535]

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

[@chiwukulakrishnamurthy2044]

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!!!

[@adnanfarrukh222]

great sir

[@samprasadmajumdar1697]

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

[@matribhumirtanee3297]

Wah wah. clean strokes.. No useless alankaran but purist

[@pijushroy9648]

God of music

[@gayatrimelkote6822]

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.

[@Prof_Hazra_IIT]

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.

[@brucewalks]

i saw him play a concert with asheesh, maybe his oldest son, in nyc town hall, 1967, and they both brought it to the show. i liked to go see him once a year for a while after i moved out here. i call him the johnny smith of the subcontinent.

[@ArchismanMozumder]

Ustad Ali Akbar Khan is indeed an exceptional artist, but to comment that it is not possible to hear any other sarod-player, is a tad off the mark. Artists like Amjad Ali Khan, Radhika Mohan Maitra & Buddhadev Dasgupta have several recordings that compare very favourably with Ustad Ali Akbar Khan's artistry.

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).

[@mugdhapathak1535]

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)

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

[@krishnenduchakraborty1759]

[@PoetDesh]

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