Vilayat Khan Sitar Brindabani Sarang 78rpm Possibly Late 1930s or Early 1940s

Ustad Vilayat Khansahib Sitar Brindabani Sarang Megaphone 78rpm Archive of Rantideb Maitra Sahib of Calcutta & Santiniketan. Abhimonyu Deb's editorial help gratefully acknowledged. Note the similarity in style to that of the old masters posted earlier. This is pre-Gayaki Ang Sitar!

Many thanks- Megaphone records were almost all from 1948

what an incredibly rare thing

[@subratachakrabarty7728]

These are all his teen-age recordings.

[@vinaypande]

I agree. That seems most likely --these are not recorded when he was 10-11 , but in his teenage years. Just astonishing technique for such a young man!

[@DrSDKhan]

@@vinaypande yeah totally agree -if he is THIS commanding on the instrument at that age ... well rest as they say is history, literally
