The Ultimate knower (Ustad Ali Akbar) expressed what he had seen in cool golden smoothening glow in the corners of the cosmos.. rest beyond words...

[@enayetrabbi]

They are beyond our reach. It’s heavenly and beyond my reach. I just want to record my admiration of the performance

[@ayyur66]

Ustado ke ustad ... Pranam 🙏

[@sbhattacharyya3781]

Some much pathos, depth of feeling and sense of tragedy
conveyed in this performance!
Baba, the ultimate musician!

বার বার শুনি,আশ মেটে না। ঈশ্বরদত্ত প্রতিভা একেই বলে, তাইতো তাঁকেই সরোদের ঈশ্বর বলি আমি।

The music is of the Divine so only the Divine would be capable of doing so. But it is but one life we get.

Your comment makes me cry

এ কী যাদু তোমার হাতে ঈশ্বর দিয়েছেন যার গুণে গুণে তুমি কেমন করে আমাদের মন্ত্র মুগ্ধ করে রাখলে!!

[@gautamsen6423]

Hem Bihag was a Raga ,created by his father,Ut Alauddin Khan, blending Hemanta with Bihag. This performance of Ustadji is superb. Nikhil Babu also played this Rage in his rendition of sitar ,very beautifully. Such a melodious Raga .

[@shyamalchatterjee1707]

‍Heavenly creation.!

[@indromazumder5767]

I attended many a live concert of AAK, never close enough setting to observe his left hand/fingers. This is absolutely mesmerizing!
Poor Manik, he was too young at the time to be put on stage, his head kept moving, turning, bobbing then turning side to side some more....:)
RIP KhanSahib, RIP James Pomerantz.
Thank you David for sharing this, quite an effort recording this so nicely, in 1996 nevertheless!

How sweet!
Ahh, this isn’t me on stage, actually. This is our nephew, Shiraz. My baba’s alap used to put me in a trance, so I may have been passed out backstage or in the front row, haha.

Ut. Ali Akhbar Khan never tried to perform on a stage of public function ,to gain cheap popularity of the Audience as he always played ,keeping his eyes.fixed on his instrument of Sarode or keeping these closed sometimes without paying any attention to the applause of the audience.

[@danielopdenakker3010]

🙏🙏🙏

[@danielopdenakker3010]

Genuine person,totelly absorbed by his performing enchanting musical performing musical talent.🙏☘🌈👍

Extremely generous share, David - many, many thanks.

[@89navo]

thank you for sharing this video.thoug i have seen this video 2-3 years back.I will be grateful to you if you could upload some other concert videos or audio recordings of khan saheb.

[@davidsarode]

Please send me that link, but I don't believe you are correct. The video of this concert has never been out of my possession, and I don't see another post of this concert searching you tube. There are other audio recordings of Hindol Hem posted, though none of them are videos.

[@nirmalyamukhopadhyay1769]

Shall be thankful if other recordings of Khan Sahab are shared with music lovers.

[@ranjanabagchi9318]

Wonderful,makes us feel that we are in heaven.
