Vilayat Khan – Raag Tilak, Raag Bhairavi – HMV EALP 1259, 1961 (LP)
One of the towering figures in North Indian music in the second half of the 20th century, the revered Vilayat Khan (1928-2004) adopted and perfected a distinctive singing-sitar playing style (gayaki ang) influenced by the great vocalists, such as Ustad Faiyaz Khan. Khan's heated rivalry with fellow sitar maestro Ravi Shankar was legendary.
This LP, featuring Mohammad Ahmad on tabla, captures Khan’s flamboyant, imaginative and romantic virtuosity.
Cet album, avec Mohammad Ahmad aux tablas, illustre parfaitement la virtuosité flamboyante, imaginative et romantique du maestro.
