This is one of the series of Sangeet Sammelans organised in memory of SRI SATGURU PRATAP SINGH JI. The presence of HIS HOLINESS SRI SATGURU JAGJIT SINGH JI is obvious whom Ustad ji repectfully and lovingly addresses as 'HUZOOR' several times. SRI SATGURUJAGJIT SINGH JI has been known as a greatest supporter and preserver of Indian Classical music tradition.

I have listened to this amazing performance again after nearly 8 years, and am stunned by it again. In the alaapkari part VK showed his extraordinary genius, moving from one raga to another including Paraj, Basant, Bahar, Pahari and several others, but maintaining the essential spirit of Bhairavi. And his tayyari, his taankari, his upaj are out if this world. In this single performance of this great man are encapsulated innumerable lessons for professional as well as serious amateur Sitarists. Just tuning up with his instrument and the thaat is itself a project for aspiring sitarists and professionals alike.

There are people who play the sitar...and then there is Vilayat Khan. Enough said.

[@suryamukherjee7634]

This is more than best.... Divine feeling.....Tansen and Baiju bawra of our time.

MAESTROS OF BANARAS GHARANA CAN PLAY 'NA DHIN DHIN NA' IN A VERY ATTRACTIVE WAY. STARTING FROM PANDIT ANOKHELAL MISHRAJI TO PANDIT KISHAN MAHARAJ JI, THEY ARE ALL WIZARDS OF 'NA DHIN DHIN NA.' AND WHAT A GREAT PERFORMANCE BY USTAD VILAYAT KHAN, THE BEST SITARIST OF INDIA. (IN MY OPINION).

[@craiglistacct9070]

Along with Bhairavi, there are Pahadi, Tilak kamod, Bihag, Nand, Mishra Maand,Bhairav,bilaskhani todi, asawari, Basant,Paraj, Gauri, Purvi, sohoni, Bahar ragas. Genius at work !!

Unforgettable performance. What a jugalbandi.

दोनों ही कलाकार मेरे सर्वकालीन प्रिय रहे हैं।

[@guru08rs]

If you are a sitar student. It's a life changing performance.

[@amitchatterjee5406]

One of the great things that Khansaheb used to do: tune the chikaris to komal Dha and komal Ga in harmony together for some of his Bhairavi renditions. It gave him the options to "shift" Sa (to Dha for example)....

[@suhasmitra]

Am so thankful to you Brigitte for having uploaded this. I have probably listened to this clip over 30 times in the last couple of weeks! What a mesmerizing start to Bhairavi. Videos of the Ustad from this particular period is hard to find which makes this a very special one indeed.

[@penta15786]

Beautiful as ever. I have made this an evening concert before I go to bed. I dream raags till I get up again.

[@IMIRZA777]
