Ilyas Khan: sitar & Shamta Prasad: tabla - Raga Kafi (1956)

from Ilyas Khan: Early Sitar Recordings by Forgotten Masters of North Indian Instrumental Music Vol.1

/

about

This -along with Raga Chayanat in this album- is the earliest surviving recording of the great Ustad that allows us a fascinating glimpse into his prime years. 98% of his recorded material in the archives of his nephew and shagird Ustad Irfan Khan Sahib stems from the final decade of Ilyas Khansahebs life. This Kafi Thumri along with Chayanat has been released earlier in CD format by Sangeet Natak Akademi but with a wrong pitch & speed. This is a corrected version with a pitch around the Ustads usual C-sharp.
