USTAD BAHADUR KHAN – SAROD
Anil Palit – Tabla
Ustad Bahadur Khan, an outstanding sarod maestro of the post-independence era, was a disciple of the legendary Ustad Allauddin Khan, founder of the Senia Maihar Gharana. Raga Darbari Kanada, a majestic, profound raga, has often been described as the emperor of ragas, and the raga of emperors. As an aural experience, this alap-jod-jhala presentation is as rich as the richest you have heard in the last six decades.
Gara is a charming raga, presented with a light, folksy composition in the bandish ki thumri format, with improvisations that have a certain playfulness to them.
