BBC Proms 2022: Amjad Ali Khan (21 August 2022)

Sunday morning ragas in the Albert Hall, courtesy of sarod master Amjad Ali Khan, his sons Amaan and Ayaan, and two percussionists.  Amaan and Ayaan perform the opening raga before introducing their father to play (and also briefly sing) a solo spotlight, before all five musicians close the concert together.  The mostly uninteruppted drone, even under spoken annoucements and moments of retuning, gives the full programme a wonderful immersive flow, so download and enjoy an hour and a half of sublime meditation.

  2. Thank you Alan! Always feel i have to return some music to thank you, so...BBC programs are really great, but here in France too we have some good.
    Here's a fresh broadcast of a Jim O'Rourke concert commissioned by the GRM:
