What a performance! Of the three incomparably great sitar players of the 1960s, who were all contemporaries, I always felt that Pandit Ravi Shankar was the great showman, who communicated best with the Western world;Pandit Nikhil Banerjee was the technical perfectionist.Ustad Vilayat Khan had the ability to put an amazing amount of passion and soul into his work so that, when he communicated to his audience they were transported emotionally to another world. I am not comparing one with the other or trying to belittle any of them.I do not have the ability to do so, and as I said, they were all incomparably great.It's just how I remember them.
@PhysicsOnLine Actually no, Nikhil Banerjee was quite devotional and spiritual. But the passions and technicalities of Vilayat Khan are what have survived into the 21st century. Look at any good to great sitar player of today, their style of playing and improvisation is the Vilayat khan style. His influence on the Sitar style is SO dominant, it is unbelievable. Almost no one plays like Ravi Shankar. Very few play like NB, but if you take the great to good players of today (Budhaditya Mukherjee, Shahid Parvez, Purbyan Chatterjee, Niladri Kumar, Anupama Bhagwat, etc.) they all sound like Vilayat Khani style to me. A 2nd dominant figure in instrumental Hindustani music is Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia who set the bar for the Bansuri. Vilayat was such a strong force of will that his music has and will survive well into the future.
No.1- This is the text book of Rag Darbari Kanara for the students of Hindustani classical music, so this video should be stored well for the benefit of students, No.2- Particularly this recital is beyond of gharana, beyond of any particular style, it has become universal. Darbari bajana hay to ayse hi bajana ya to nehi.
Ustad Khan Shaheb ne rula diya.Such main aysa sitar aab sun ne ko nahi milte.Darbari ka ye rup kalija ched kar diye.Koti Koti Pranam Ustad Vilayet Khan Shaheb 🙏🙏🙏🤍🤍🤍
Vilayat Khan was the God of Sitar. When the Creator asked other sitarists, they probably wanted awards and accolades, but VK wanted only sitar, .. or maybe sitar wanted him !!!
@@user-mx5hp1vg2v Already India men 33 crore devi devta hain, ek Vilayat Khan ke add hai ne se kya farq hoga? Ya Mohammed Rafi ko god of Bollywood playback singing keh len. Jo ek khuda hai woh to har waqt har jagah hai ... :) Don't take it literally please :) :)
What a play by Ustad Ji and also Kishan Maharaj ji gave such perfect co-play, amazing concert. amazing artists. We are fortunate to have heard this beautiful Darbari Kanad piece. Thank God almight for this beautiful performance. ! Eternal piece indeed !
“Ustad Vilayat Khan’s rendering the Raag ‘Darbari Kannada’ touches everyone’s heart to utmost joy. Gives us the taste of the ‘Divinity’. Surely. - “M.K.Subramanian.”
Mr. Razi Mujtaba…I endorse fully your views stated here. Mr. Ustad Vilayat Khan’s sitar play is great and holy. I am unable to express here fully the beauty of his rendering. I shall just enjoy only. And I agree entirely with your honest and sincere expressions made here. - - “M.K.Subramanian”.
अनहद नाद बजाया जा रहा है । पं० किशन महाराज - पं० विलायत खाँ साहेब । ये माहौल ईश्वरीय प्रेम , मानवता से परिपूर्ण है । जहाँ जहाँ भी अमानवीय कृत्य होने की संभावना है वहाँ ऐसे संगीत कार्य क्रम होना आवश्यक है ।
It's really sad that in the past five years the viewers of this great performance is only 250 K . It seems to me , many of us are really unable to take the real taste of the music !
I am a great fan of Sitar and heard many maestros playing the instrument. While all of them were great in their own way, Vilayat Khan shaab had different level of peace or bliss in his recitals. Take my revered pranam Ustad Ji.
Can't be better than this ! A truly most creative moments for the Ustad ! One of the most emotional presentations, where the Great Ustad let's his Art speak at its best ! An inspired recital, which gives you a Spiritual experience ! K M Tiwari, Allahabad.
Have you heard of Prayag Sangeet Samiti of Allahabad? It used to be my centre for my Classical music vocal exams. I performed there twice as a classical music graduate 🎓 🎶
Ultimate level of Darbari kanada. today's starists should learn from this Darbari that unnecessary use of alankar not proves the beauty of raga.khan saheb is in the heart of us.
Wahh! In my opinion there really is no other sitarist able to touch my soul as deeply as Ustad Vilayat Khan. The expressiveness and emotion that he evokes is apparent in just one stroke. You can tell he feels every swara to the depths of his core. Such an inspiration! Such an innovator. And he does the most difficult things with such ease!
I agree but I find Pandit Nikhil Banerjee great too. He died very young compared to Ustad Vilayet Khan and Pandit Ravi Shankar. Maybe if he lived longer he could have achieved much more.
Yes both Vilayat and Nikhil are the best but yes Vilayat is the emperor while Nikhil banerji was more is more spiritual but dont forget another great Halim Jaffer Khan
During the last century, the only instrumentalists that mattered were Vilayat Khan & Ali Akbar Khan becos their devotion to their instruments was so great that they became part of the instrument itself. The rest were acolytes.
উস্তাদ বিলায়েৎ খান সেতার ও কণ্ঠে এককথায় অসাধারণ! যোগ্য তবলা সঙ্গতে পণ্ডিত কিষান মহারাজ যথাযথ! # Ustad Vilayat Khan is unique in Sitar as well as in vocal! In accompaniment on Tabla Pandit Kishan Maharaj is accurate!
Of the triumvirate of sitars, Pt RS was most creative, in his every rendition he tried to impart some unique, new phrase and that was the key of his immense popularity in India. Ustad VK used to understand the s to r of the sitar thoroughly and is incomparable technically till date. His extremely sensitive performances used to appeal to the core of the listeners. Pt NB was different, he used to transcend himself during any rendition a little above the stage along with his devoted audience and usd to travel towards the master of the world, also listening to his calm, non-flamboyant, non-experimenting son. And I must confess, this version is great but in no way the greatest Darbari rendition by Ustadji, because he always was and is still the unsurpassable master of this raga.
Remember his words “Phir aisa sitar sunane ko nahin milega “ Prophetic. I met him at Harvallabh Sangeet sammelan decades ago and told him that except worshiping him like a divine being I had done everything to imbibe his music he just offered a winsome smile and permitted me to record him.TNGUPTA
True ! Even the darbaris bar which pandit NB ji has set it’s difficult to choose but these 2 darbaris shows the death and immatchable beauty of our music
One of the greatest performance of both the Padma Vibhushan awardees of India. This heart n soul soothing performance will long be remembered in the minds and ❤of every classical music lovers of the world. Hats off to Pandit Kishan Maharaj ji and Ustad Vilayat Khan Saheb ji❤❤❤❤❤❤
Unparallel! I have no language to express my feelings!!!The ultimate renditions on raag Darbari! 🙏🙏🌷⚘🌷🙏🙏 The extraordinary vocal presentation from Respected Ustadjee🙏🌷🙏 the rare collection!
Listening to Vilayat is such an exhilarating experience ..... the music empowers you with so much depth , you can feel the music in your soul... absolutely magical
I'm really don't know who r d persons dislike d video,what a wonderful Nd great rendition of d raaga darbari Kannada,Mera ansu nikel ati hai inhe sunnhe mei.meri mom ki death hone par sari Raat is raag ko sun kor Mera jee car aya.fir vi is raag se juri hui mera sentiment..ijjat to koro my free.
J N Ponda ; While hearing him, my whole being dances, weeps, roams in the universe. There never will be another Vilayat!! Not the rich, but the genuine artists are different.
Soulful playing by ustadji. Very heart touchy Pandit kishan maharaj has played tabla excellently but he is not given full scape to exhibit his wonderful art for which he is known.
ok i am listening to raag darbari kanada in the morning but is a late evening raag .... but it stil stirs the soul ... I need to get some sleep and get back to a regular raag schedule. a) Bhairavi, b) etc... 🤫

For me it is hard but Nikhil Banerjee is unparalled. His playing was more hypnotic but as you said hard to compare.

Ustad Sahib knew the end was near( Phir esa sitar sunnay ko nahi milega).
And he was gone in two years.
जहाँ कहीं भी वर्चस्व , , नफरत , घमंडी युद्ध हो रहे हैं , नृत्य , गान का होना जरूरी है ।
His those words were true ... That : "Sunn lijiye , aisa Sitar phir apko sunnay ka nahi milay ga" ...
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢
Listening to Ustad Vilayat Khan requires a certain level of knowledge of classical music, otherwise one cannot feel the gravity of his recitals.....
He is exploring the ragha bhava. This kind of music i like most.
Ustad Khan Shaheb ne rula diya.Such main aysa sitar aab sun ne ko nahi milte.Darbari ka ye rup kalija ched kar diye.Koti Koti Pranam Ustad Vilayet Khan Shaheb 🙏🙏🙏🤍🤍🤍
What a presentation by the Greatest Maestros! You don't get a second chance to enjoy this type of heavenly music.
Vilayat Khan was the God of Sitar. When the Creator asked other sitarists, they probably wanted awards and accolades, but VK wanted only sitar, .. or maybe sitar wanted him !!!
You can say father of sitar .stop giving god name to everyone

Heavenly music. Very meditative indeed ! Thank God we live to hear this !!
Ustadji played for connoisseurs. He is alive through these videos
Can there be a better rendition of Darbari on Sitar than this one? Greatest.
Ustad Vilayat Khan play on the strings of Eros and Pathos simultaneously thus ruling the realms of heart and head simultaneously..

This is a great masterpiece of Indian Classical Music played by the greatest sitar player Ustad Vilayat khan.
The Majesty of Indian Classical music.
The younger generation has also given an excellent account of itself: Pdt BM, USP, Sumanwaya Sarkar's Darbaris are truly outstanding.
Nobody can produce meend like Vilayat Khan Saheb. I had the privilege of touching his feet in Montreal after a spell-binding performance in 1978.

After listening this, i immediately switch to Ut Salamat Ali darbari of his young days. Wanted the blissful feeling never to end
He diserved the bharatratn 🙏

But UVK is using all kinds of Alankars.
Listenig again....tears in eyes....we have lost Gods of Indian classical music....really uncomprble...
Bishal,
You are right. It takes me to different dimension every time I listen to his sitar in this particular raga, i.e. 'We call it king of ragas'.
