- Dear Friends, Music Lovers & Musicians,
here comes the second concert recording of Ustadji. A wonderful Raga Marwa - played at the Rasa in Utrecht on 25th April, also part of the European Tour 2003.
I remember that Marwa was still in the air when we returned to the Hotel after the concert. Khan Sahib was singing phrases and explained a few details of the Raga. What a great evening.
In the second half Ustadji played a sweet Khamaj, as he would often do after a very serious Raga. This I will edit and upload at a later time.
Pandit Mohan Shyam Sharma accompanied Khan Sahib on Pakhavaj, Zaki Haider and Martin Spaink on Tanpura.
Enjoy also the fancy lightning of the Rasa stage technicians. A bit to colorful for my taste, but somewhat catching the twilight mood of Marwa ;-)

Liebe Freunde, Musikliebhaber & Musiker,
hier nun die zweite Konzertaufnahme von Ustadji. Ein wundervoller Raga Marwa, am 25th April im Rasa in Utrecht auf der Europatour 2003 gespielt.
Ich erinnere mich daran, dass Marwa immer noch nachklang, während wir nach dem Konzert ins Hotel zurückkehrten. Khan Sahib sang und erklärte einige Details des Ragas. Was für ein großartiger Abend.
In der zweiten Konzerthälfte spielte Ustadji einen goldigen Khamaj, wie er es oft nach einem sehr anspruchsvollen Raga tat. Diesen Teil werde ich später editieren und veröffentlichen.
Pandit Mohan Shyam Sharma begleitete Khan Sahib auf der Pakhavaj, Zaki Haider und Martin Spaink auf der Tanpura.
Genießt ebenso die fantastische Beleuchtung der Rasa Bühnentechniker. Ein wenig zu bunt für meinen Geschmack, aber irgendwie doch passend zur Dämmerungsstimmung Marwas ;-)

Dear Friends, I just received the sad news that Pandit Ravi Shankar left this world yesterday. I hardly saw somebody in this old age still radiating so much joy on the stage. My Pranaam to Panditji - may his Soul rest in the eternal Ocean of Sound.
Rare performance by ustad ASAD ALI KHAN...still radiating joy into us at this age. My Pranam to Asadji.
Rudra veena in the hands of this master is just awesome. I believe the right ragas with rudra veena can easily trigger the blocked energies in the 7 chakras and one could explode to the ultimate brahman if done correctly. This instrument is so very unique. And this master did all these in vajrasana yoga pose. Just fortunate to even listen to these masterpieces. Gratitude.
Bro I have healed my thyroid in meditative state with rudr veena music of ustad asad ali khan....the vishuddi chakra has cleared.....
The greatest of beenkars that I have heard the privilege of hearing.
Absolutely. The greatest of all
i don't know why but raga marwa scaries me every time ustad ji plays it on his rudra veeena .so dark and so fasinating
What a superlative performance by the Ustad. Huge fan of his playing style.
I have great indebtedness for all the gurus in the tradition, for preserving the age old system and the instrument.
brother i am 43 years this September if i gave the rest of my life to this ancient beauty it would not be enough time!
i am falling more and more in fascination with this wonderful rag Marwa - the variety of forms it takes, and the emotions it touches! this one is contemplative; it seeks to make me recollect the events in my life that touched my emotions - the happy as well as the sad! What a structure this raga has!!! and the way the ustadji seems to be able to make the instrument express whatever he wants!!! it REALLY becomes an extension of himself. Thank you ever so much, Herr Wicke - i revere you as one of my gurus!
dear tmadhava menon, i'm happy to rerad about your deep listening experiances. listeners that can perceive all the the subtle details are almost as rare as the musicians who create them. i admire your devotion for listening to the Veena. and yes, Ustadjis handling of the Queen of Indian string instruments is certainly unparallelled.
So well articulated!!
Wonderful
Ustad Asad Ali Khan sahab was not only great also he had divine soul through what his music comes !
Can not get better !
Listen to Marwa at night quietness it will take you different world 🙏
my ancient India , proud to be a part
listning to this full length after about a year - though i have been returning to it more often, though not full thro it. The charm heightens - i lose myself in the depths of this raga, and how it becomes reality in the hands of the great Master. silence and sound play hide and seek around 24 to 30 on the track, and the intrigue is fundamental!
MEASTRO I bow at your feet. Thank you Carsten for posting such a gem, God bless you.
thanks for this great upload just wanderful waiting for the khamaj...all the best
just out of the world...
A real master and genius ! I keep listening to him again and again, yet still thirst for more! My humble homage.
adbhut!, Divine. So soulful music. One will dive in the deep trenches of soul.
unforgettable 🙏

This is the gem of Indian instruments

Amazing musicians .Thanks for posting.
I want to learn this phenomenal instrument from you.. Carsten ji will you teach me???
Wonderful to see your interest in the Rudra Veena, Subhomoy. However learning to play the Veena is a decision for a life time and more than that.
You can contact me on my WA number: 9051612599
Then we can discuss more about it.
@@RudraVeena Thank you so much Carsten ji.. for you reply.. will talk soon
Marwa :)
i have gone mad
is there any path to understand, or just listen quietly
🕉️
Where in Utrecht did this performance take place?
carsten, thanks for replying and sorry asking but i dont see the information when watching on my tablet
This recording is as old as I AM😅
Good to know that your generation is also listening to the centuries old mother of Indian string instruments 👍🏽
@@RudraVeena I do play guitar and I don't have the knowledge of dhrupad but it just feels more instinctive.
Is this instrument the sitar or something else
As written in the titles, this is the Rudra Veena, the oldest of all Indian string instruments.
who are the accompanist?
as written in the video and the information notes: Pandit Mohan Shyam Sharma accompanied Khan Sahib on Pakhavaj, Zaki Haider and Martin Spaink on Tanpura
Thanks, Pt. Mohan Shyam Sharma looks young, but he appears very impressive to me!
So different in style from Ravi Shankar!
it is a different instrument, so that the style is also a bit different ...
its not about style ,...ravi shankar play totaly different music ,he play what we cal khayal-hindustani /and asad ali khan play DHRUPAD -
The maestro is playing in the Dhrupad style which is more spiritually oriented, while Ravi Shankar played in a style derivative of Dhrupad called Khyal which emerged much later and which aims to entertain the audience than just being a spiritual music.
+gaurav simha USTAD RAIS KHAN SAHIB FOR YOU
+jakob cohen Didn't get you ? :)
I don'tmean to be offensive but this instrument needs redesigning. You are a good player but a lot of these are truly reprehensible and apthetic. - I'm not going to edit this. I have considered a redesign of the rudra veena for more complex music but what has been revelead / shown to me is that even you, and you're really good, could not think of this concept because I think you were brought up in another musical "school". I'm not so fond of spanish guitaring, and classical guitar can also be annoying sometimes. Japanese sakuhachi music is especially highly entertaining on a D minished (7th, I'm not surtr). Anywas Hopefully I acn design my new post-modern rudra-veena withoiut being executed. But you guys should learn a WAY different buz that's terrible, I can hear even you get bored and uninspired with your own shit. the chinese call it the "Bull's horn". there's only so far you can go. However I have at least ideologically designed a new instrument but since 2015 I could not redesign it since I quit my job, I sawed the planks and made the measurements but life happened. Its stil amazing t haer you. You have any money, I will want to finish designing it I got some advice from an instrumentalist. I'm a bit at odds as I believe it could be reassembled at each "play/event/sitting" but he's argud about it however I believe that I am quite right in regards the "twinky" sound, in fact it may especially contribute to it, as only a part of the reassembly is.... "loose". I'm going to smoke a joint now. The rudra is an amazing instrument, but its a classical base. I'm not insulting you at all - I cannot begin to descsribe. I'm not going to continue either because its intense however it should be "built upon" and ist a difficult postulation without a visible exemplar of the theory devised, based on what you do, which is pretty amazing. Adn I'm sorry to say Ustad Ali Khan leaves me wanting to listen to maybe oh I don't know, vivaldi. Probbaly an incompetent man but I haven't listened to much, and he's probablkyu obsessed about theoretical micronotes, and I don't find him pleasant. Sadly sometimes you are also not pleasant but I think your interpretation of the intended design of the rudra is certainly a gift to other musicians who encounter you and this instrument, thanks - and no, I haven't played piano for over a decade, I did for 143 years though... yeah 143. I'm 267 now :D I meant 14.
Obviously an millennia old instrument needs to be updated and eventually rethought with the change of times. This has happened and is happening. Basically this mother of Indian string instruments is almost obsolete today since over the past centuries new musical forms developed within the Hindustani Raga music, that could find more adequate musical expression not only on redesigned but even new instruments. Like the Sitar and Surbahar that inherited some of the instrumental structure but much more so instrumental and musical techniques from the Rudra Veena.
I personally have been working for the last decade on manufacturing some Rudra Veenas which are rather a optimised and tweaked versions of the same instrument. I can think of many more improvements, from solving the inefficient logistic of the instrument right to a digital version. But than time, means and energy are not endless and one has to decide where one puts his focus. I'm rather a musician than instrument maker. So I put my weight there.
But since you seem to have so much thought about a new Rudra Veena/ instrument that possible can be used even outside of the musical context of Raga music - well we are all looking forward what you come up with. Of course not only in thoughts and words, but real life creation. Maybe once the air and mind have bean cleared of from whatever you smoke.
I highly recommend Willam stick to smoking Winstons@@RudraVeena
