I was a student of this Guru for 12 years! BABA ALI AKBAR KHAN, is the sarod player here with Ravi. Ravi learned from BABAs father, Alaudin Khan, Baba & his oldest son AASHISH passed the raga knowledge down to me. it was the most azazing experoence nm of my life to learn from the GURU OF GURUS.. he changed my life inside and out with his ancient timeless knowledge of music and life. THANK YOU BABA! WE LOVE YOU, All of yor students. I will post here amazing stories that Noone would know unless you were his student..memories that I will treasure forever and pass down to my students and children..please enjoy and be blessed..pranams

Hello! Is it possible to contact you for raga lessons? Via Facebook?

To everyone who is reading this have a great day and God bless you and your family

When it ended, time stood still, the music played on..in silence

Lucky enough to see Khan many times back in the 70s in Delhi, along with other greats, Hari Prasad Chaurasia, Panalal Ghosh, Bismila Khan, Subramaniam and many a jugulbandi was heard. We lived by Humayun's. Music, India, eternity became one....

I saw and heard Ravi Shankar I think in 1984 in a great concert in Varanasi, while travelling India for a year. He began to play at about 4 in the night after a lot of very great musicians and it was the absolute climax. Since then I love and adore his divine music ... and i really need it , when I'm a bit down and broke as today, because a very good friend left again for travelling the world. Thank you for sharing !

A very long time ago, I was given this album by a Fulbright Scholar from India. I was a struggling student working my way through university. I had a paper due the next day and a time crunch. I played this album, on LP, over and over all night. The next day, I turned in the paper and later learned I got an "A". While I would not recommend waiting until the last minute for anyone to do anything, I credit this music for my success.

Ravi Shankar Ali Akbar Khan Alla Rakha Extraordinary trio. A dream team I must say ! Impossible to do better.

Wow! We are so lucky to have all of this material on KZread!

I feel lucky watching these great maestros Pandit Ravi Shankar, Ustad Ali Akbar Khan, Ustad Alla Rakha & Ustad Zakir Hussain performing in '80s in Netaji Indoor Stadium, Calcutta ( now Kolkata) with my friends during hostel days...

One of the best recordings in the history of Indian Classical Music of the past century.

Sitting on stage right behind maestro shankar and his daughter anoushka and tamar bose at Benaroya Hall.Greatest musical moment of my life.Only being near yo yo ma comes close.Pure transcendence.

I was privileged to be in a small room with Ravi Shankar at UCLA in 1968 he played a full raga for us and everytime I hear this music I go into a wonderful state...God bless.

I am listening N o w

The sitar is one of the most mellifluous musical instruments there can be... yet another of the Indian gifts to the world.

What a tribute to Baba Allauddin Khan by his son and son-in-law. I have been listening to this again and again since 1974. The magic prevails and tears always rolls. I had the privilege of listening to them live in Chennai and have Panditji's book MY Music My life autographed by him.

These Matero will never come back. But they left their intactuality behind for us. Salute to them.

Everything about this concert was stunning, the shear stamina and concentration of the 3 of them was ridiculous, I've listened to this since its release it never gets old

The longing in the first piece is palpable. I'm remembering love and lives unfulfilled and I can only imagine the music is compelling me to do so.

I'd listen Ravi in 1983...Fantastic! There were good vibratiions and God's Blessing...

A lesson for humility when pull of a string reverberates me to the core and yet when I listen to the compositions repeatedly I fail to fathom it’s core..give me a feeling that I have missed on something eternal.. my shallow life.. alas!!

Discovered this recording few years back and listen to it in the evenings every now n then. Now I am expecting my baby in few weeks and he/she starts moving, gives me tiny kicks as soon as I play this :D

This music resonates internationally! The videographer for Raviji's biographical film--a westerner-initially did not want to get involved in the filming, as he could not appreciate the music. However, he was encouraged to listen to some of his music and he did. During one musical piece, he was moved to profuse tears, whereupon he decided to do the film!

In memory of Baba Allauddin Khan within months of his grand departure to the Gandharvalok. This was once in a lifetime performance for it was in memory of the master who had brought them (Pandit Ravi Shankar and Ustad Ali Akbar Khan) both up into musical maturity from early innocence in the art.

I don't think any thing better than the Raaga Manj Khambaj performed by these two great maestros is possible in Indian Classical Music.

As many of you may know Ravi performed in UK at the concert for Bangladesh. On stage he and his musicians tuned up then paused a second. The audience applauded and cheered. Ravi said, “THANK YOU I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE MUSIC AS MUCH AS THE TUNING UP.” 😁😁

The weeping sarod and the weeping sitar. Baba from Gandharvalok listens with tears in his eyes. This concert was within months of Baba's ascension to the other world. A tribute, a memorial, a final pranam at his feet.

Allaudin Khan lives thru this divine sound , the great generations, the great spirit

Remember when we were all just brothers & sisters? Less wars, less conflict. So much more relaxing when people decide to handle their own lives. Who needs the 'class' of people who believe they have the right to tell us what to do? Let's just live in peace, keep on learning from good masters like these and enjoy Life. Why is such a simple program so difficult? As Jimi Hendrix once said, "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace." That is where I am going...

Right on, kuma--- Apparently God wants to have his little play with some people until they've had enough of it and see through it. Music such as this is a testimony to the higher dimensions that await. Hail to Jimi- a true ambassador of the coming beauty and expansion.

It slows me down, makes me ponder of what has passed, the things I wont get back. Why are we here on earth.

Three giant musicians playing together! Pundit Ravi Shankar, Ustad Ali Akbar Khan and Ustad Alla Rakha. Awesome, neat and crispy performance. May God rest their souls in peace.

As fresh as if it was recorded yesterday... The best indian classical music trio (with Allah Rakha) I've ever heard... They seem so connected with each other!! An absolute gem.

as the classical music is concernd, throughout the world, Ravi sankarji ,Ali Akbar khanji and Allah Rakha khan contributed a highest form of music . In regard to present any raag , the trio effortlessly wondering in the space . really greatful. to Baba Allauddin khan sahib .

This music has nothing to do with Hinduism. Infact Ravishankar was a Hindu and Ali Akbar Khan, his ex brotther-in-law was a Muslim. Furthermore, if you trace back Ali Akbar Khan's history, his great great grandfathers were Hindu Bramhins (top of the caste system in Hindus), but, they had to convert to Islam during the Islamic rule of Bengal. I do not know if this music has anything to do with God (given I am an aethist), but, certainly, this music can transcend you to an alternate universe where you can take a deeper look into your soul and get an in-depth understanding of WHO YOU ARE!

Three masters, don't forget Ustad Allah Rakha on tabla.

The renditions are emotionally so powerful even compared to all their other Jugalbandis. This could be due to the fact that this was in remembrance of their Guru and emotional energy in them was so intense. Amazing.

Here after over a year of listening this. The notes bring me to a defined place, but on the way there is a beautiful journey of expression…..it’s pure bliss and has been a spiritually uplifting experience for me. This is by far the most enchanting expression of art I’ve experienced in life….bless the creators

It is no surprise as they studied for years together under Khan's father, Allauddin Khan. Ali Akbar Khan also became Ravi Shankar's brother-in-law when Shankar married Khan's sister, Annapurna Devi in 1941. Ali Akbar Khan was also uncle to Shubhendra Shankar., Ravi and Annapurna's son.
