Nad Ninad: From NCPA’s Archives

Listening Session on the artistry of Vilayat Khan

This listening session makes available NCPA’s archival recordings to lovers of Hindustani classical music. The session is based on rarely heard recordings of the sitar maestro, Ustad Vilayat Khan (1927-2004), which were specially recorded for NCPA’s archives during 1976-79, where, prompted by his senior most disciple, Arvind Parikh, the maestro speaks at length about his forefathers and their style, and chronicle his own journey with ample demonstrations.

This session will cover Ustad Vilayat Khan’s great heritage of seven generations, detailing the musical artistry of Imdad Khan (1848-1920), as narrated and demonstrated by him
