Ali Akbar Khan - Signature Series, Vol. 3: Rag Darbari Kanada - Music & Performance - CD

2010 two CD release.

Ali Akbar Khan (1922 - 2009) is one of this generation's most legendary Indian classical musicians.

Considered a quot;National Living Treasurequot; in India, he was admired by both Eastern and Western musicians for his brilliant compositions and his mastery of the sarode (a beautiful 25-stringed Indian instrument).

'Darbari Kanada' is a late-evening rag played between 9:00 PM and midnight.

Most classical performers treat this rag with reverence, as it is one of India's most majestic ragas.

This session took place in 1969 in a New York City church, with the natural reverberation adding a tremendous and distinct element, along with audible sounds of the city streets.

No attempts were made to alter the original content of the master recordings.
