A masterpiece like his Shankara, Darbari, Khamaj. The record says that Khansheb chose to play this Raga on the spur of the moment. He had previously tuned to Marwa, but arrived late in a slightly disturbed frame of mind for the recording. Adding to his irritation was the presence of a small uninvited audience.
shahidji who is now the flavour of the generation is also hugely inspiried by khansaheb as the birth of khayal style is by him and only himself and leave shahidji the whole lot of instrumental music has turned into khayal vadan sarod santoor mohan veena flute ect and the whole credit goes to khan sahib "sahib ko jannat naseeb ho"
This is when Ustad Vilayat Khan Sahib was at his peak. Now, go and listen to Ustad Shaid Perviz Khan Sahib. I am not saying who is best, but a train ear should be able to tell the difference. The reason i brought this up was to remind people over and over again that music is knowledge and you can't stop knowledge from flourishing. There is always going to be someone better than Ustad Vilayat khan Sahib and Ustad Shahid Perviz.Shabib.
@bay1soree2maraz3ast We have gotten into this nasty habit of comparing musicians as if it is a race of some sort. OK, tell me is Vilayat Khan better than Inayat Khan ? You can learn his own answer which is that in many things he is not. So, let's ask the reverse question: Is Inayat Khan better than Vilayat Khan ? We can only guess the answer for neither Inayat Khan nor Vilayat Khan is there to answer. The fact is since Vilayat Khan extended the baaz, so the answer could be a guarded maybe.
@r8rdarklord The fact is each of these masters have done stupendous Riaz and are masters of their craft. One does one thing better the other something else - there is no comparison.
Try to listen to his grandfather, Imdad Khan's rendition of the same gat. There are several gramatically forbidden mistakes of grammar in the original Yaman LP including the use of Ni Sa Re but idiomatically the Yaman is inspirational. This is from the last period of Vilayat's peak, around 1972. Manikrao Popatkar's tabla accompaniment is delicate and reminiscent of another standard of playing: quite different from today's skeletal and aggressive sound.
@shadebard you think gat start from "Sa" on 9beats , but try to listen,,, "Sa" on 9beats is finish note from 1beat "Ni Dha Pa Ma Ga Ri Sa Ni Sa , then gat start from 10beats "GaGa Ri Ga -Ma-Dha" .
@yoshidadaikiti My comment had nothing at all to do with the start or finish of the gat. I repeat: In the LP from where this excerpt is taken Vilayat uses the forbidden Ni Sa Re combination; he is not alone in doing so. Not that I do not like the LP just for this shortcoming.
@Yulesh123 I know..Shadaj and Pancham are not frequently used in the aaroha..but I've seen it being used that way many times..in alaaps and many more cases..

A sublime end to the equally sublime first recital that you posted earlier, Mirzaji.

@ThePranavKRao That's just a rule of Yaman... unless you are referring to why was it made that way?
