A beautiful and evocative recording of one of the living legends of Indian classical music, the virtuoso surbahar and sitar player Ustad Imrat Khan.
Son of the legendary Ustad Enayat Khan and younger brother of the equally legendary Ustad Vilayat Khan, Ustad Imrat Khan is now the senior-most member of the famous Etawa Gharana (musical dynasty) which can be traced back over 400 years to the court of the Mogul Emperor Akbar.

His breathtaking virtuosity turns each performance into an unforgettable experience. In the second part of this stunning recording he plays with his sons Shafaatullah Khan (tabla) and Wajahat Khan (tanpura).

“Imrat Khan is a born communicator… an ambassador for the best in Indian culture.”
– The Guardian, London
