Amir Khan (1912-1974) was an unrivalled Hindustani classical Khyal vocalist gifted with a deep, mellow baritone voice that effortlessly expressed intensity, sensuality, creativity, dignity and glowing majesty.
Alas, this intimate recital of personal compositions by Khan, the founder of Indore Gharana, was his last recording, as he died tragically a few weeks later in a car accident, depriving India and the world of one of the greatest singers of the 20th century at the height of his powers.
Khan is accompanied here by Gobinda Bose on tabla.
