Raag Bhimpalasri

[andhernagari1]

Shenhnai == Bismillah Khan . (PERIOD) 

[madhavi1705]

divine n peaceful

[srguy]

A fairly young Zakir on the tablas, no? I am not sticking around to listen to the whole vid. Maybe a close-up proves me wrong.

[Lotsofonions]

@srguy No that is not Zakir. This was in 1996, he would've been 45, not that young.

[000Nayan]

Shehnai ki misaal aur Bismillah ji bemisaal.............

[kakankiki]

@raiszada---bete ye koi har doosri gali me bajane wala shehnai artiste nahi hai..to apna "good job" bhar le apne andar..Indian idol dekh dekh kar, tehzeeb bhool gaya hai kya ..tere good job se pehle, india ne "bharat ratna" se sammanit kar rakha hai khan saab ko...

[rameshdada100]

Super Star of Shehanai ! Badshah Of Shahenai !

[Nausena]

kyaaa baat hai khan saaab ! At this age as well he was a perfectionist.

[0nman]

I have entire collection of Bismillah ji's..in tape though, and I still have tape recorder ,,I play it, the sound is not of this great quality ( due to make of taperecorders back then) ...but i listen to it very very frequently...regardless...he was perfect..

[koletski21]

Fantastic Bismillah Khan the master. The shenai a cross breed of oboe and kazoo!

[firefanner]

Who is the Tabla player, looks like Zakir Hussein but not sure, also what tala are they playing in?

[tarikrajab]

@firefanner Yes. He is Ustad Zakir Hussein.

[feizluz]

speechless

[geetmegh]

He is the best that there ever was! I heard him in a 1955 concert in Bombay (Mumbai). Ever since, he has a very special place in my memory.

I have heard him play Raag Bhimpalasi several times; each time, it was a completely different and ever-enchanting rendition!

He tis a true Maestro! And the humility that goes with his greatness!

We should be grateful that we lived in the era where great Maestros of his generation gave us the very best in classical music that there ever was.

Subhanallah!

[darymalebary]

omg very nice, seriously i can't say either he is playing or guzing.

[naughtyeast]

bismillahji de bismillah os shehnai...the throne he left is forever empty..

[Lotsofonions]

@naughtyeast Although i agree that he was great and everything, but please do not say that the "throne" is forever left empty or there will never be another like him or anything like that, surely there are ways of praising him without being so negative and discouraging to many young musicians. In my opinion it should be the opposite, people should hope for another like him.

[sharmapulkitmukesh]

@Lotsofonions why would you hope for another bismillah khan? For people who have heard Khan sahib... there will never be another Bismillah Khan. For them, khan sahib is irreplaceable (which in my opinion he is). The throne will be left empty, but hopefully there will be a new king...a new king who will establish a new kingdom.

[gnayya]
