Wow. First time I ever listened to a full performance by this artist. He's remarkable. Remarkable. He was crying in that last song. So beautiful to see an artist become vulnerable in front of others. I think it's one of the reasons why I've drifted away from popular American music, and pop music in general. Music for me is a place to go to. A world to enter and join... to be one with. And the "stuff" that come out of you when you are truly connected to it, you can't predict. It's spirit that is unleashed by the music and the people that are around you are also touched by this spirit, this power. On this day, in that home, this vidwan certainly unleashed his spirt to this community. Even through RUclips, here, the power of the music jumps out of the screen. Thank you for sharing this music with us in other parts of the world. Peace.
Back in the 70s/80s even rock musicians recording live in studio ... You saw a natural drift in tempo .. now musicians records their stems over a metronome .. have multiple takes if needed to make it sound perfect .. before mixing them to create a perfectly manicured music. What audience expects to see = Tiger in the Wild. What they get = Well groomed toy poodle
What a marvellous performance by Khusrau-e-Saani; Aftab-e-Sitar; Khansahb Vilayat Khan. You'll be remembered and will be kept throbbing at hearts forever 💗🎼.
so soothing...so surreal...such a sweet personality...if you decrease the volume and listen it's like light rainfall on the grasslands...sometimes like a shallow river flowing slowly following the winds...sometimes like the flapping of bird wings in unison...Ustad Vilayat Khan dadu-ji, tusi great ho....!
Dear Chakravarthyji. Those who are familiar with our music are also familiar with the tradition of showing respect for the maestros while talking about them or mentioning their names... For example for me it is always Pt. Ravi Shankerji, Pt. Shiv kumar Sharmaji, Ustad All Rakha Sahib, Ustad Vilayat Khan Sahib, Ustad Ali Akbar Khan Sahib ( MY GURUJI ) and so forth. Respect for these great teachers is the essence of learning the music and understanding the tradition.
You tube and some Great Music Lovers who proved themselves as real Music Lovers by sharing their valuable collections with like minded music lovers all over the world are the real CHAMPIONS like Jasmeet Chana ....
This is an affirmation of the supremacy of Ustad Vilayat Khan at the pinnacle of sitar playing. Pinky ji is superb too. What a soulful rendering! The demeanor of both of these artistes is commendable and worth imitating by the young artistes. They were born with it, however. Narayanakurup Kanthikumar/Olympia,Wa/Jan 17, 2015
It is wonderful to feel the humility of the Sitar Legend in his ripe wisdom in the presence of the Satguru, and to see the humble art of the young man to his side, beautifully complimented by Ustadji just near thinned of the performance. Thank you for this informal and yet very live performance.
The way he talks about his sitar as a living companion of his. That doesn’t come by practice, it comes with deep lifelong building of trust, faith, love, affection, passion and relationship with it.
Wow! Heavenly! Ustad Vilayat Khan is a Master at making his Sitar Sing when he plays. Totally amazing Off-beat playing. 🙏🏼 Ustad Pinky amazing in a respectful way accompaniment with Ustad Ji..🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Extraordinario!, Estas notas "abren" todas las células de la carne, desatan nudos, rasgan todos los sentidos... Penetran hasta lo más profundo. Llevan al paroxismo del corazón.
No words can express what is going on here in this mehfil... Ustad Vilayat Khan Saheb is the Aftaab-e-Sitar and all others are living under his light...may he be in peace in heaven
Many thanks for uploading such videos. it is indeed a treat to hear such maestros like late Ustad Vilayat Khan saheb in such baithak type programs. It is done with such close up that one feels he is actually seating a bhithak and hearing such maestros from so close a distance. Khansaheb played both Bihag and Pancham se Gara thumri in a heartful manner.
Rabindranath Tagore has many songs set to Raag Behag. One of the most celebrated is a dhamar (Jage Natho Jochhona Raate), which explores the fusion of Nature, melody and moonlight. I wonder why Behag appeals so much. It is also a raag to which many Brahmo Samaj compositions were set. Once Amiya Ranjan Bandopadhyay started Behag at the Dover Lane conference at 8.30./9 p.m. I guess its time range is also quite wide.
i really like his Gitanjali poems.. thank you for this recommendation to accompany this wonderful music! :) I wish I knew your language, I am very fascinated by the culture but i guess there is still time :)
I feel the same about Behag, it was a favorite of Swami Vivekananda too....In the late evening it instills a remarkable feeling in you, playfully ecstatic at times and melancholic.
So true... To me Behag is synonymous to "Darao Aamar Aakhiro Aage"...or "Jibono Moroner Shimana Chharaye" - and many more amazing RabindraSangeets and BrahmaSangeets are set in this raag... Behag never fails to evoke various deep emotions!
The drone strumming at the beginning is much louder than the melodic element. That seems to be a feature of UVK’s later recordings more than in the 60’s - 70’s. Could someone please enlighten me if that is due to microphone placement, or a deliberate evolution of style?
Ustadji is pitched to a 'C' sa ...(unusual?). Please , what is the event ? it does not appear to be a formal concert .Religious gathering to the Guruji working his mala in front of Ustadji? He seems to be adjusting the Sitar in and out .... Marvelous .
It's quite painful to see the Aftab e Sitar struggling to tune his instrument for so long.. one of the, not so great performances, of the maestro.. though he makes up well by his graceful presence..
I think this is Behag and not Shyam Kalyan. Can someone please clarify this? A big thank you to Jasmeet ji for the video!! Amazing as always Ustaad ji and Pinky Ji
Allah helping unknown India yes Allah help the pepole is the part all over the world true art.true music.true culture.the true rythemic sweet Holly art this is the pepole ghariba newaz hazrat khaza mynudunnin cishti India the pepole is the part Africa to America kingdom Saudi Arabia to lebanone it's Indian untouchable music director the person not only Indian music director he reach all over the world all the language music I keep secreet his name some pepole don't wish to pepole know them the person Indian music director yes the person walking all over the world with all faith music too the person Indian music director may Allah please help I am know more.mashallah.allah huakbar.allah hafez
Looks as if he has mastered raga bihag. he plays so effortlessly as if the raga is guiding him.🙏

Beautiful, spacious music. An antidote to modern life. I love it when the tablla join. Beautiful articulate drumming.
Blessed are the ones who are sitting behind him n listening to the god chant ! Incredible raaga and so soothing to listen to !
So perfectly tuned Sitar my mind is blow right away just for that, rest is I am not even eligible to speak about
True brother
Listen to the album called Sringar..raag Behag, Ustad Vilayat Sahab.. you'll be elevated someplace else..
Both the father and grandfather of Vilayat Khan were pastmasters in this raga, and he too has proved to be a worthy successor to them.

ਇਹ ਨਜ਼ਾਰਾ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਜਗਜੀਤ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ ਦੀ ਛੱਤਰ ਛਾਇਆ ਹੇਠ ਦੁਬਾਰਾ ਦੇਖਣ ਨੂੰ ਨਹੀਂ ਮਿਲਣਾ 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Me quedo atónito, este maestro es buenísimo!. Hace que el sitar se parezca a un corazón humano clamando al cielo. El quejido del alma!
Such a great honor and privilege to have seen and heard this in my lifetime. Divine Prakriti - harmony of Purusha
HONOUR
Blessed are those who have listened to this greatest of the great 🙏🙏🙏

Narayanakurup Kanthikumar/Olympia,Wa/Jan 17, 2015
Simply superb,Heart touching,what a deeper insight of raga and elaboration we experience through the recitation
Anmol Ratna Of India. Jai Hind. Jai Bharat,
Tell that to to hordes of BJP and RSS gundas destroying the lives of innocent people for the crime of being born Muslim.
It is wonderful to feel the humility of the Sitar Legend in his ripe wisdom in the presence of the Satguru, and to see the humble art of the young man to his side, beautifully complimented by Ustadji just near thinned of the performance. Thank you for this informal and yet very live performance.
the guy sitting behind Ustadjii is really enjoying every pull of string...
That's the son-in-law of Kishan Maharaj from Benares, also a student of Vilayat Khan.
@@MichelGmusic His Name is Pandit Narendra Mishra also an excellent Sitar maestro❤️🙏
Now, I believe in power of music and inter and trans ocean connection it produce!
Long live vallayat khan and shjaat khan and pinky ji
The way he talks about his sitar as a living companion of his. That doesn’t come by practice, it comes with deep lifelong building of trust, faith, love, affection, passion and relationship with it.
Ustad ji is glory of Bharat.Proud of him.
Great Nadidina by Ustad Pinky ji. Anokhelal ji would be proud.
Wow! Heavenly! Ustad Vilayat Khan is a Master at making his Sitar Sing when he plays. Totally amazing Off-beat playing. 🙏🏼
Ustad Pinky amazing in a respectful way accompaniment with Ustad Ji..🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

No words can express what is going on here in this mehfil... Ustad Vilayat Khan Saheb is the Aftaab-e-Sitar and all others are living under his light...may he be in peace in heaven
The laykari between these two geniuses is beyond belief. Perhaps if I had another 50 years of listening, I might eventually be able to follow it!
Wah! Kya program hai ji 💐
श्रीमन नारायण नारायण हरि हरि 🙏🙏🙏

Very nice
All this is the mericle of khan sahb's thoughts.
Superb, matchless

Ustadji is pitched to a 'C' sa ...(unusual?). Please , what is the event ? it does not appear to be a formal concert .Religious gathering to the Guruji working his mala in front of Ustadji? He seems to be adjusting the Sitar in and out .... Marvelous .
1:09:00 - 11 miraculous.
It's quite painful to see the Aftab e Sitar struggling to tune his instrument for so long.. one of the, not so great performances, of the maestro.. though he makes up well by his graceful presence..
I also felt the same way. The instrument was not tuned well.
Ba sir
I think this is Behag and not Shyam Kalyan. Can someone please clarify this? A big thank you to Jasmeet ji for the video!! Amazing as always Ustaad ji and Pinky Ji
Yes This is Bihag
Many imitators but this is the original................
