A superb duet of late Vilayat Khan and his son Shujaat Khan playing surbahar, with Sabir Khan on tabla.
Recorded from a live performance at the Royal Festival Hall, London, 25th november 1993.
This DVD, named "Bequest" is published by Navras - NRDVD 010.
Rag Shahana : Alap (with a few minutes of Khansaheb's singing), jod (with fabulous surbahar gamaks by Shujaat Khan), vilambit teental.
Rag Bageshree : drut teental.
While it is always a treat - a blessing - to hear and see Khansaheb, the surbahar technique of Shujaat is truly astounding. He has got a fabulous control over the instrument and just plays it as if it were a mere sitar, like a toy in his hands.
