Ustad Asad Ali Khan Sahib plays Rudra Veena

[GUNIDAS]

Ustad Asad Ali Khan was a Shia Muslim. But his music sounds like a deep meditation of a Hindu Rishi on Naada Brahma.

What's the name of this movie made about the late great Ustad, please?

like many people in the trail, i too found out about late ustad saheb after his demise. went to attend a commemoration concert by bahauddin dagar organised by spic macay and found out what i have missed all these years due to sheer ignorance and carelessness despite being in delhi since last 5 years. late ustad saheb's son too played there. i watched the film which baldeep has mentioned above on ustad saheb

[superunilever]

i sad to about the demise of USTAD G,may ALLAH ALMIGHTY REST His soul in enternal peace. iwill be glad to hear from ustad's son/student at my personal email.yahussain572@yahoo.com

I learned about the Rudra Veena yesterday, and about this man as well, only to learn he died the day before. May this genius rest in the heavens above.

[Enyuhu]

I am so sad that he has left us yesterday; a truly great musician, but no one seems to remember him even now.. May he rest in peace..

[dbadagna]

I would like to suggest that the term "rudra veena" be added to this video's title and description to allow it to more easily be found by people searching for videos of this wonderful instrument.

[sakibang]

it is good try putting a few older pieces too

[pritpalc]

the sustain on the Rudra veena is so amazing!!

Who is playing the Pakhavaj?

[CarnaticConnection]

@pritpalc I believe it is Pt. Gopal Das on the pakhawaj!

[jeffreycollins]

oh man do you have that whole thing. As the bluesy playing he was doing before you faded it out was AWESOME! I'd love to get to see more of that particular piece.

[Adachautal]

Asad Ali Khan and Darbari go together SO well. He is a truly amazing musician. Thanks so much for posting this!

[amirflute]

Sir, we cannot thankyou enough for this video, darbari on the Rudra Veena, this is so powerful, so moving, if there are more, i pray to god that you see fit to post them some day..... regal, powerful, magnificent, grand, i don't know where to start, i don't know where to finish.

[Obakedake]

Amazing video! I would love to see more from this concert! He is an amazing player, and brings life to such an ancient instrument. Thank you for sharing this.

One and only Ustad Asad Ali Khan. My words of appreciation really don't befit his excellence and sheer brilliance. I listened to his Raaga Pooriya at Mumbai recently in the Akashwani Sangeet Sammelan 2008 concert. It was heavenly.

[CarnaticConnection]

@tinshru That puriya rendition was truly amazing!! He is an absolute master.

[penta15786]

What a delight to finally find something on YouTube on Ustad Asad Ali Khan. He is truly one of a kind.

[bhaibaldeep]
