- Dear Friends, Music Lovers & Musicians,
It is a great pleasure for me to present you today a first concert recording of my Guruji Ustad Asad Ali Khan.
Having the chance to study Rudra Vina with Khan Sahib since mid of the 90ties I was fortunate enough to accompany him on quite a lot of concerts.
Whenever I had the chance and the equipment with me I recorded those. Needless to say, that there are just too few recordings available from the great Master of traditional Rudra Vina.
So we open the Stage with a recording of Yaman Kalyan, one of Ustadjis favorites. This concert was played on the European Tour 2003 in Dresden, Villa Salzburg on 4th of May. Khan Sahib was accompanied by Pandit Mohan Shyam Sharma on Pakhavaj and Zaki Haider on Tanpura.
Enjoy the blessings of Khan Sahibs Vina - share & link it + please respect copyrights.
PS: I'm working on a website about the Rudra Vina which will feature also more information on Ustad Asad Ali Khan. It will take some more time, but check back sometimes at: rudravina.net

*****************************
Liebe Freunde, Musikliebhaber & Musiker,
Ich freue mich, heute einen ersten Konzertmitschnitt meines Gurujis Ustad Asad Ali Khan veröffentlichen zu können.
Während ich seit Mitte der 90er Jahre mit ihm Rudra Vina studierte, hatte ich die Gelegenheit ihn auf zahlreichen Konzerten zu begleiten.
Wann immer sich die Gelegenheit bot und ich das Equipment dabei hatte, nahm ich die Konzerte auf. Ich brauche sicherlich nicht zu erwähnen, dass es einfach zu wenige Aufnahmen des großen Meisters der traditionellen Rudra Vina gibt.
Also öffnen wir den Vorhang mit einer Aufnahme des Ragas Yaman Kalyan, einer der Favoriten Ustadjis. Das Konzert in der Villa Salzburg, Dresden vom 4. Mai war Teil der Europatour 2003. Khan Sahib wird auf der Pakhavaj von Pandit Mohan Shyam Sharma und auf der Tanpura von Zaki Haider begleitet.
Geniest die Segnungen von Khan Sahibs Vina -- teilt & verlinkt das Video + respektiert bitte die Copyrights.
PS: Ich arbeite an einer Webseite zur Rudra Vina, die u.a. weitere Informationen über Ustad Asad Ali Khan enthalten wird. Auch wenn es noch etwas dauern kann, schaut gelegentlich mal nach auf: rudravina.net

Whole life dedicated to the love of this instrument... Didn't marry... And was so compassionate to adopt and raise an orphan... Thousands and thousands of salutations...
God Godly!
Marriage would be distraction. married to the Art.
I wish and wanted to learn under his tutelage. Such is time
Whenever I heard him live I always felt this man was a true saint
The greatest classical musician of India
Wonderful. I am a disciple of Ustad ji. Learnt from him his dhrupad style and elements of Been for five years. Our relationship was wonderful. He would come to Shimla to just meet me and my family. I miss him much.
Wonderful to know Sharma Ji.
You are so lucky
@@RudraVeena Thanks. If you come to India, do meet me.
@@atharvaduve8801 Thanks.
@@keshavsharma7218 I'm living in Kolkata. Not sure when the Veena and me could make it to Shimla. But lets see. Thanks for the invitation. 🙏🏼
It's a miracle that this recording even exists, more so a video recording of Ustad Asad Ali Khan!
Absolutely true Ermitanyo, it wasn't easy to capture these concerts, while being on the road with Khansahib as driver, sound technician, tour manger and disciple. Plus Utstadji was not eager at all to be recorded, unlike today where basically every concert is recorded anyway. But I'm more than happy that people have the chance today to enjoy these jewels.
@@RudraVeena Can't thank you more. ❤
Listening to it for the 'n' th time, but we can only press Like once!
From his music, I heard Van Gogh's sunflowers, the vitality, the energy, the shock. Music lovers from China.
When I was staying with an astrologer in the old Brahmin section of Pune, there was an old man who lived in some very bare rooms upstairs. every morning he would play something similar -- completely alone, as a form of meditation.
+Lawrence Huff u must be talking about Pt. Hindraj Divekar

i wonder how far back was this.. Poona was much different even till the end of 2a the century.
the way you describe.. it might have been one of the Peths (XYZ ville ≈ XYZ peth)
could it be Sadashiv Peth or any areas around Laxmi Road Tilak Road etcetera
ua-cam.com/video/2KonlOac8U0/v-deo.html&start_radio=1
maybe it was him?

I've been playing sitar for about a year now, but this, this is a different level of music entirely. Now I know what I'm supposed to be doing with those bass strings, but I'm afraid I'll never be truly fulfilled in the way this instrument elevates my soul. Highest praise for Ustadji 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I am in awe, surely the divine is speaking through him.
This is a rudra Veena different from a sitar and too much different from a tanpura.
This is divine, bliss, sound that descends directly from heaven.
Cent percent true
@Nocturn Out did you do the homework beta?
Music becomes enjoyable only when the musician enjoys the music which he or she produces... And Ustad Asad Ali Khan is one such person who is enjoying every bit of that music which he is producing. The sound produced by the beautiful instrument is.... I don't have a single word for that. So soothing... it takes you to a different world... Thank you Ustad... Thank you Ustad Carsten...for uploading... God Bless....
"Enjoy" may not be the apt word here. I think, beyond subjective appraisal, his purpose is to totally invest his essence in the flowing form, seeking to be a clear window, rather than a fanciful seeker of enjoyment.
That different world has always been this world, ;)
20 years old recording, allows to people like us to discover, enjoy, be stunned about the complexity and beauty of this Sound of God.🎶 The change of mood is a rainbow of emotions wich colors the symphony of notes. cheerfulness integrates with play, joy, concentrated attention.
Divine! Deep thanks to Carsten Wicke for sharing it🙏🕉️🎶✨
May many generations enjoy and share this beauty.
Happy to read that these uploads are appreciated by such genuine and receptive listeners like you, Estelle. We all have our own experiences while listening to the Queen of Indien string instruments. However yours are certainly special colourful and intensive. Always enjoy the divine Naada of the Rudra Veena. Hari AUM 🎶🕉️
I never missed any of the live performances of the great Maestro whenever he came to Kolkata. I have been blessed with his affection to me which is a treasure of my life.
Thank you, dear sir, Mr. Carsten Wicke, you have captured an exquisite piece of art that appeals at an aesthetic, emotional and spiritual level. Hopefully, these recordings last forever.
This is sublime. If there is music it resides in the Rudra Veena and comes out with respected Ustadji playing it. Just like Lord Shiva playing it.
El señor shiva creo la hermosa veena, es genial el sonido de ese bello instrumento
This is one of the stairways to heaven... Ustad's incredible skill, combined with the enchanting sounds of veena, take one immediately to the higher planes... Unbelievable. Just unbelievable.
I don't know how the Gandharvas play celestial music, but the closest would be this. Pranam Sahasrashah.
Sure, while the sound of the Veena itself is alredy a celestial experiance, it becomes in the hands of a Master like Ustadji a divine revelation...
sine dubio
Words are useless to talk about this rare and precious performance. I just can say Thank You!🙏❤
The highest on Veena, beyond virtuosity. Divine
The sound of the Cosmos.
at 33:33 he teases all of the heart and soul that he can from this beautiful and exotic instrument.
from 44:46 rudra tandavas starts
Bah kay baat hai 🙏🇮🇳🚩💐🎉👌
Absolutely Devine. Our wold will not survive with out these celestial swaras
sTOpppPP chakras rising too fast. Ooh everytime i listen
One very unique style of Ustadji is when he plays Meend from Pancham to Rishabh and that is so short and subtle and brings out Yaman in an exemplary manner. Only a genius can play this!!
Interesting comment, but I literally didn't understand anything. Would it be possible to explain this to the amateurs in indian music in this comment section. Would be very appreciated! (:
@@Geisterpfeifenfisch I will attempt to explain. So when Ustadji plays the glide from the 5th note (Pancham) if the scale to the second note (Rishabh), the manner in which it is done is swift and conveys to the listener the essence of Raag Yaman subtly and beautifully. Add to this the preceding and following arrangement of notes and one realises that only Ustadji can play it. Pla listen from 18:25 to 18:35 of the video and one would find the subtle Pa to Re glide or Meend at around 18:30
ahhh the sequence @42:06 sends shivers every time. No other instrument hits this low the way rudra veena does. What a gift to humanity.
Yeah. And it peaks at 43:43 ❤
The sounds of heaven for a moment.
I don’t think there are enough good recordings of ustad Asad Ali Khan - this is fantastic to see; many thanks!
How can you not love this beautiful music? It's so gorgeous and peaceful.
Namaskaram 🙏🙏🙏
उस्ताद असद अली वीणा वादन राग यमन. अप्रतिम.
अप्रतिम एवम् रंजनात्मक।
रंजनी रूद्रविणा.......
Thank you for uploading this heaven
I feel like so much tension is released when the long Alap reaches an almost wild climax and then the pakhawaj enters to add a disciplined structure to the Raag. It's profoundly satisfying. Long live dhrupad!
Still watching in 2024❤❤?
God Bless You Sir. Thank you for respecting my culture and bringing out its finest gems. Amazing.
What an amazing culture
I can't imagine how to sleep without this music ! I just love it ! I listen to sleep cz I m so adicted to this from months
guess it will be a quite elivated sleep ;-)
lolz, yeap
Some addictions are good btw 😘
Works magic as a lullaby for my son!! I often use dhrupad as lullaby for him. Something magically relaximg in those lower octaves that's very soothing. Heals my migraine as well.
Help me too
It's my dream to play the Rudra Veena! I would have LOVED to have met, talked to and listened to this Master play!! And even better yet been taught by him!!
Ustadji ko suno bahot hi kanoko mita lage ga such may hum kahi aut longo may phahuncha jate hai shat shat naman
A gem of a performance
Like watch Allauddin Khan's gharana invited back into Tansen's line... Blessings to Asad-ji for being so open to the Dagari dhrupad lineage... Hari Om Tatsat
Simply enchanting. Considering the fact that Rudra Veena is a difficult instrument to play and there are very few exponents of this instrument, and coupled with the fact that drupad style is rare, it is such a great treat to listen to a master who literally blends himself with the instrument to create such divine music. My salaams to the master and thanks to you Carsten Wicke for posting such a gem.
Its a rare gem. i've had the privilege of listening to his veena live. what a pity not many recordings are available in India
Vandana Shukla they are available in abroad neither
Yes Vandana Di, therefore these recording are made readily available everywhere via internet...
@@RudraVeena hey can you please reupload the tollygunge mehfil, particularly looking for Neil Murgai and one more sitar player playing raag natbhairavi
the Son of Mother Goddess Saraswathi Devi Maa... Ustad Asad Ali Khan...
Blown away by this!
Ustad sahib was a living legend and great master with blessings of lord Maa Saraswati. Coming generation is indebted for pur music he played.
Ustad sahib had come to our house stayed with us in February 1983 to give a memorable recital under agies of MEERUT MUSIC CIRCLE MEERUT PREZ & FOUNDER LATE SHRI A S SINGHAL
OM SHRIRAM 🕉

Extreme sadhana! Thanks for sharing this divine offering.

RIP ustad.... Thanks for sharing
Wow you can feel every note, his love and passion, what a blessed human 🙏🏼

43:43 you can listen to Lord Rudra roaring for 4 seconds from here. 🙏
thank you so much for recording and posting Ustad Asad Ali Khan's beautiful music. His music is a jewel to the world. We are blessed that you have recorded ANY of his music. I listen to all that you have posted of Ustad and listen to yours as well. It helps the spirit very much.
thanks Moreex, as much it was a great blessing to be with Khansahib as his disciple its a great pleasure now to spread his music on this channel. reaching out to listeners like you, who really value Ustadjis music for the gem it is, makes worth all trouble it took to make those recordings... i will keep on posting - enjoy.
Carsten Wicke and you get some money for doing so, don't you?
not all things can be paid with money, especially not the best ones ;-)
Thanks so much for posting. A master musician playing this ancient instrument.
Rudra Veena - A wonder
An ancient & noble Instrument.
Superb! Ustad Assad Ali Khan was always superb!
To Jujhar Singh - Yes, he got me straight away too! As soon as I heard it I just had to listen - I could not stop! His energy is amazing! He is so full of love! It is bursting out of him!
🙏🙏
Very hypnotic!
Thank u Carsten for your immense contribution in preserving Khan Sahib's superb performances.
There is a feel of peace , divine peace , Its a very nice stress buster Whenever i hear it i feel calm and peaceful as i have lost all the tension.It gives a sublime bliss after hearing . Incredibly played by Ustadji . When it starts 4rom lower octaves and steadily approaches the higher there is a feeling of meeting the ultimate. No words to describe ... Thank you so much for uploading
Bohot Khoob ...... is a very little word for this Artist the way he played it, and I believe, he was looking at the wibes going out of the strings of his instrument..
Mesmerizing ..
Pure fire. Love and Joy for everyone.
06:00 - a sharp feeling of euphoria in the spine...
Abgesehen von den Aussetzern in der Aufzeichnung und dem ständigen Husten eines Zuhörers ist das schon episch!
Reflection of German perfectionists culture
Aussetzern wird groß geschrieben
@@stefanschmidt4655 wird direkt korigiert, danke
Удивительная музыка! Благодарю мастера за доставленное наслаждение!

Thanks Carsten !
Great performance, great video ! A real treasure !
Spectacular. thank you
Thank you so much for these gems. It is a treat to find recordings of the true masters of music. God bless you for sharing these. Cheers
Thiis performance is magnificent! He is so obviously enjoying himself and living every note and vibration. There is never a dull moment - I don't know how he can keep up such energetic playing for so long!
a lifetime of devotion for the veena and a light instrument, that allows this dynamic playing style...
+Carsten Wicke Sorry for my ignorance, but what do you mean by it being a "light" instrument?
Is it physically light, as in weight?
+Lee Swagerty yes, exactly... comparatively light in terms of weight and lower tension of strings.
usatdji barely slept he burnt candles at all ends
great master of rudra veena........Du Glueckspilz hattest Ihn als Guru........und machst Ihm alle Ehre...
:-) _/\_
fantastic presentation.
Thank you so much.
thx for such a rare gem..
Thank You Carsten for this gem. Look forward to many more and seeing you soon!!
This is so beautiful, thanks for sharing!
Absolutely mesmerised, truly divine !!
As he starts playing on the lower octaves of the Ragas, the melodious shower of music entices the audience and he gradually, phase by phase, takes them into a trance as the notes lead them, to 'Nada-Samadhi'. It is an experience that is impossible to verbalize. He becomes an enchantress as she takes the audience into confidence with a promise of some great secret and becomes one with the raga and the audience. The audience become spell bound. According to his students, they have a Kaleidoscopic experience, when he guides them. I know because this has happened to me. By grace I met a yoga jinn who was the master of the Been.
Maintain the gender please, referring to a single person as thou art!
Est ponere genus placet, referendo ad unum homini qui similis tui est?

Sublime music. The Rudra Veena has such a pensive and deep touch to it. It makes one desert everything and become a nomad!
Just one thing: the Tanpura seems to be too loud relative to the Rudra Veena, especially in the beginning.
agreed
As always, another amazing and beautiful piece from ustad ji. Every ragam from his instrument opens a different door for sublime musical experience. Thank you very much for sharing this. Need many more of these for us and for posterity🙏🙏
Thank you so much! Keep this ancient wonderfulness coming. Thanks for being so thorough and excellent. I am learning sitar from a great master Nalini Vinayak... it is a blessing.
great .. thanks for sharing it :)
Meditate and keep this on loop. ❤️
Thanks for uploading the recordings!
Thanks a ton Carsten for uploading this divine rendition by Khan Sahb.
if only tanpura could have been a little lower in volume :( Awesome rendition. Thanks for the upload.
This is music of the highest order. i just cannot understand why people come to concerts and spoil them for everyone with their coughing. This one, repeatedly, not even an attempt to bury it in a hand, cloth or sleeve.
Experience like we are in heaven....
such a great maestro.........incredibly AMAZING indeed !!!!!
Ustad in arabic means teacher!
Great music by a great man!
Thanks for sharing Ustad's definition for Yaman
i LOVE it!!!!
Das ist ganz und gar wunderbar, danke fürs Teilen :o)
Captivating. Majestic. Beautiful.
You have done a marvelous job.
