Dear Friends

It has been quite a while since the last upload from my recording archive of Ustadjis concerts. Unfortunately the original recording media (DV tapes) got a lot of dropouts with the years and require labor-intensive restoration. However sharing more of Khansahib unique concert recordings is of course worth the trouble.

While I was playing 2019 in the St. Peters Church Vienna accompanied by Pt. Mohan Shyam Sharma memories of our European tour exactly twenty years before came up. It was the first time I could bring Ustad Asad Ali Khan to Europe and accompany him on the tour. While managing the concerts and driving us around, recording of concerts whenever and wherever possible become an important task too.

This concert in Vienna on 9th November 1999 was arranged by Radha Anjali and the Austrian-Indian Society. Kahnsahib played Raga Behag in the first half, while he was enchanting the audience with Raga Desh and a short Vasant in the second.

Like in the concerts before Pandit Mohan Shyam Sharma is giving great accompaniment on the Pakhawaj and Zaki Haider on the Tanpura.

Hope you will enjoy!
