This is the ninth from a selection of about thirty gat compositions out of several hundred preserved and taught by Ustad Irfan Khan, the hereditary 'khalifa' or head, of one of the founding schools of sarod music, the Lucknow-Shahjahanpur Gharana.
The objective of this presentation is to take this timeless treasure from the past -- dating from around 1820 to the late 20th century -- and to give it a contemporary voice. Arnab Chakrabarty, one of the most renowned sarod artists of the present times, started learning this material from Ustad Irfan Khan in 2017. Himself a disciple of the late Dr. Kalyan Mukherjea and Pandit Buddhadev Dasgupta, Chakrabarty comes from a lineage that employs a set of techniques and voicing roughly analogous to those used by Irfan Khan and his family. This ensures the compatibility necessary to retain the innate aesthetics of the music while still presenting it in the artist's own way.
The artist gratefully acknowledges funding from the Canada Council for the Arts, as well as strong support from the Small World Music Centre and Aga Khan Museum, Toronto, throughout this recording project. Without this support, it would not have been possible to present this music with such production values.

আরে সাব্বাস অর্নব। কেয়া বাত। এত পরিস্কার পরিচ্ছন্ন স্বর বাজানো। কেয়া বাত কেয়া বাত কেয়া বাত। আমাকে চিনতে পারছো?? বোধহয় না। কিন্তু বহুবার সাক্ষাৎ হয়েছে।

[@vinaypande]

Khansaheb you had explained to us in Mahishadal that in the old days what we call Madhmad Sarang was known as Shuddha Sarang. And vice versa. Do I have that right?
You had also played Sarangs in the “old fashioned way”.
I dont think you played this particular bandish that Arnab has rendered so beautifully. But again my memory may be failing me here.

[@irfanmuhammadkhan4737]

@@vinaypande no Madmadh was Brindabani and vice versa

[@vinaypande]

@@irfanmuhammadkhan4737 ahh yes. Now I remember.
Shuddha Sarang not involved.
