Ustad Ilyas Khan - Sitar
Ustad Munne Khan -Tabla
Sitarya Ustad Ilyas Khan (1924-1989) -second son of the legendary sarod maestro Ustad Sakhawat Hussain Khan (1875-1955) of Lucknow-Shahjahanpur Gharana was a phenomenal musician with a huge repertoire of Ragas and compositions. Most of his life he was teaching music at the Bhatkhande College in Lucknow and lived a life devoted to music.
"Ilyas Khan was roughly a contemporary of Ravi Shankar, Vilayat Khan and Abdul Halim Jaffer Khan. Yet few listeners today have heard of him, let alone his recorded music. He added to his gharana’s knowledge bank by studying, in addition to his family’s repertoire, more gats and dhrupads from the sitar gharana of Kalpi, near Lucknow. His non-family teachers had been the ustads Abdul Ghani Khan, a dhrupad singer, and Yusuf Ali Khan, a sitarist and sitar maker (also the original designer of the kharaj-pancham sitar that is today synonymous with Ravi Shankar)." (quoted from Arnab Chakrabarty´s article in scroll.in)

My morning is made
Ethereal!
First time heard a great recording of such excellent sitarist wha wha highly recommended,now I have to listen more of him .Thx for sharing
Goosebumps, reaches your soul. Sad such a legendary artist never got the acclaim he deserved.
Ustadjee is not the only such sitarist. Pt. Balaram Pathak is another one like him.
Thanks Matyas
