Editorial Reviews

From the Label
In November 1974, George Harrison and Ravi Shankar collaborated with some of the greatest Indian musicians of this century on an American concert tour. During their stay in San Francisco, the Indian performers were invited to do an informal concert at The Stone House, a granite room in Fairfax, California. This recording is a document of that event, featuring Ustad Sultan Khan on sarangi. The sarangi is a bowed, stringed instrument with a highly vocal sound and a limited number of able masters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Consumate Musician, June 15, 2002
By Howard Ross "Howard Ross" (Ocean City, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I agree with the above reviews - I have about 80 Indian Classical CDs and Sultan Khan is a favorite - He's very lyrical while retaining good classical form - sort of reminds me of the asthetic Chopin would have in Western Classical Music. My other favorite is Sabri Khan who has a little more austere intensity - Ram Narayan is very austere and Dhrupad like.

5.0 out of 5 stars sensitive, heart warming and thought provoking, September 22, 1999
I've listened to numerous North Indian Saranghi players (both on CD, and live in New York), but none of them moved me as deeply as Ustad Sultan Khan. His tone and sensitivity inspire emotion like noone else.
