<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;">Veteran musician and sarod
maestro, Ustad Amjad Ali Khan had written a deeply personal book about the
lives and times of some of the greatest icons of Indian classical music. Having
known these legends personally, he recalls anecdotes and details about their
individual musical styles, bringing them alive. Twelve eminent musicians of the
twentieth century appear in the book - Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, Amir Khan, Begum
Akhtar, Alla Rakha, Kesarbai Kerkar, Kumar Gandharva, M.S. Subbulakshmi,
Bhimsen Joshi, Bismillah Khan, Ravi Shankar, Vilayat Khan and Kishan Maharaj.
In writing about them, Amjad Ali Khan transcends the Gharana and north-south
divide and presents portraits of these great artists that are drawn with
affection, humour and warmth.</span> Like his gently warming music, this is a delightful
book for the music lovers.<o:p></o:p></div>

Gujarati Business Family with cultural and spiritual influences. His father was
a businessman and mother was a painter. At home he was taught Indian music by
musicians when he used to play several instruments like
dilruba, violin, mandolin, jaltarang and flute. Later
he started sitar, which he found suited him best. In 1944, at the age of
17, he moved to Mumbai and started learning from the famous sitar
maestro Ustad Vilayat Khan. His musical education continued uninterrupted
throughout his performing career, from 1944 to 2004 until Khan's death.<br />

Kishori Amonkar was often herself coerced and cajoled into to compromising the tradition to sing lighter forms for the pleasure of her audience although she stood firm, refusing to change the essential basic tenets of her <i>gharana</i> and Indian Classical Music.

Her musical training included honing a trained voice that traversed 3 octaves and the ability to discern <i>Shrutis </i>(Microtones).</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

There are many students she has taught and she was exemplary among many young artists all over the country who will look up to her for years to come as a role model, a brilliant musician and a personality beyond par. She may be passed away but her music remains resonate forever in the hearts of millions of pure music lovers across the globe.<br />

West, both as a performer and as a teacher. He first came to America in 1955 on
the invitation of violinist Yehudi Menuhin and later settled in
California. He was a Distinguished Adjunct Professor of Music at the
University of California, Santa Cruz.<br />
<br />
Khan Shaheb was accorded India's second highest civilian honour, the Padma
Vibhushan, in 1989. </span><span style="color: #222222;">Nominated five times for the Grammy Award, Khan Shaheb was a recipient of the
MacArthur Fellowship and the National Endowment for the Arts' National Heritage
Fellowship.</span></div>

<span class="im"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>M.S. Gopalakrishnan</b>, aka <b>MSG</b>, (10 June 1931 – 3 January 2013) </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;">M.S. Gopalakrishnan (popularly known as MSG) was born on 10th June 1931. MSG learnt from his father, late Professor Parur Sundaram Iyer, the famous violinist who was an authority on the two systems of Indian Classical Music i.e. North Indian (Hindustani) and South Indian (Carnatic) systems. MSG learnt both systems from his father and gave his first performance along with his father at age of eight. A top ranking violinist, outstanding soloist and accompanist, MSG captivated the audience </span></span> in the music arena for over fifty years playing both Hindustani and Carnatic Music. MSG had </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">done vast research on violin playing techniques. He is presiding persona of </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">a new unique style called the "</span><i style="font-family: times, 'times new roman', serif;">Parur style</i><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">". He </span>is always been <span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">a versatile violin artist famous for playing melodies, speed, special fingering technique, and bowing technique. His violin tonal quality</span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> has always been clear, and </span>audience could<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> clearly hear the </span>swarams<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">thu</span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">s making it more melodious. He </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;"> won numerous awards i</span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">ncluding the Padma Sri, Kalaimamani, Sangeetha Kalanidhi and the Sangeet Natak Akademi award.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="color: black; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">M.S.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Gopalakrishnan, </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> a legendary artist who broke </span><span class="im" style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: black;">the frontiers of his acumen and acclaim beyond the confines of Carnatic to wider acceptance by audiences all over the country and won international recognition for themselves. As for M.S. </span></span><span class="im" style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Gopalakrishnan, he gave early evidence of making his bow as a violinist and thus had the benefit of expert guidance from his father who was the Professor of Music at the University of Bombay. This in itself proved a providential circumstance as it helped to build a bridge of understanding between Carnatic and Hindustani sangeet paddhatis during his impressionable years from six to sixteen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span class="im"> <br />
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span> <span style="color: black;">When young M.S. G</span></span>opalakrishnan blazed upon the musical horizon like a meteor, his brilliance dazzled even maestros of Hindustani music like Pt Paluskar who readily accepted the young virtuoso as an accompanist. With a baptism such as this, M.S.G <span style="color: black;">never looked back. With the crystal-clear tonal purity of his Carnatic lineage and the emotional impact of the '</span><i>Shruti-Bhaav</i>' insight of the Hindustani gayaki mode, he <span style="color: black;">evolved a unique style of his own which imparts more depth and dimension to ragas than hitherto expressed through instrumental music. Through relentless researches and riyaaz M.S.G </span><span class="im">innovated newer techniques on his violin such as one-finger playing, thematic development on single-string octaves to make his violin a more expressive medium.<br />
<br />

<span style="color: black;">With artistry such as this at his fingertips, no less a violin virtuoso than the internationally acclaimed Yehudi Menuhin exclaimed, '<i>I have not heard such violin in all my travels!</i>'. How superbly this young Indian is playing our instrument'. Coming from Yehudi Menuhin, this should be construed as the highest compliment.

Once Yehudi Menuhin heard M.S.G play the <i>Kalyani ata varnam</i> using only one string with so much fervour and impressed by it, mentioned everywhere about "<i>a man who played in the G string '(with one finger)', whose name also starts with the letter G</i>".</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 11.0pt;">Dagar Tradition<br />
<br />Dagar Gharana is a dhrupad-based stylized singing founded by</span><span style="color: #333333;"> Ustad Behram Khan </span><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 11.0pt;">(1753-1878).</span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 16.8pt; margin-bottom: 6.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 6.0pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 11.0pt;">Tracing its history back to nineteen generations, we can say that the Gharana took firm roots under the able supervision of Ustad Behram Khan, who went to Jaipur and founded his gurukul. The greatness of his contribution to Dhrupad is admitted on all hands.<br />
</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br />The Dagar family had seven performing members and held an annual Dagar Saptak Festival in different parts of India.<br />
<br />Ustad Nasiruddin Khan had an early premonition of his own death and spent ten years training his two elder sons Moinuddin and Aminuddin so as to impart all his musical knowledge to them. Subsequently, after Ustad Nasiruddin Khan's demise the two brothers trained under Ustad Riyazuddin Khan and Ustad Ziauddin Khan Dagar.<br />
<br />Ustad Nasiruddin Khan’s two elder sons were known as the Senior Dagar Brothers.<br />Moinuddin Dagar (1919-1966) and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aminuddin_Dagar" title="Aminuddin Dagar"><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none;">Aminuddin Dagar</span></a> (1923-2000)<br />
<br />Nasir Moinuddin Dagar (1919-1966)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="style2">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">The eldest son of <a href="http://www.dhrupad.info/nasiruddin.htm"><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none;">Nasiruddin Khan</span></a> and a charismatic performer who together with his younger brother <a href="http://www.dhrupad.info/aminuddin.htm"><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none;">Nasir Aminuddin Dagar</span></a> attained fame in the 1950s and ‘60s as the Senior Dagar Brothers. His singing came the closest to that of Nasiruddin Khan, according to many who had heard Nasiruddin Khan. He trained under his father till his death in 1936, and subsequently, learnt from his uncles <a href="http://www.dhrupad.info/riyazuddin.htm"><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none;">Riyazuddin Khan</span></a> and <a href="http://www.dhrupad.info/ziauddin.htm"><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none;">Ziauddin Khan</span></a>. His style was characterized by a certain flamboyance, and there were always surprises in the sudden unexpected turns that his melodic improvisation could take. His concert tour of Europe with his younger brother in the 1960s earned great critical acclaim. He had amazing mastery over the use of the three different kinds of head resonance-nasika, anunasika and nirrannasika, which he used with much flair and artistry on the higher notes like ni and sa. His use of rapid ghamak patterns in the faster part of the alap created some controversy, because this led to the accusation that he had adopted some elements of khayal in his singing. But he defended its use by saying that the patterns, though very rapid, were syllabic and different from the aakar taans of khayal. Like his father Nasiruddin Khan he died in the prime of his career in 1966, probably from the same hereditary ailments that caused his father’s early demise-the progression of his illness no doubt accelerated by his fondness for the rich non-vegetarian cuisine of the Dagar family. Recently, some recordings of his singing have been released from the private archives of the Royal family of Udaipur.<br />

<br />Young Aminuddin gave his first performance at the age of eleven. It was, however, the 1940s that saw the meteoric rise of Moinuddin and Aminuddin as the Senior Dagar Brothers—two of the brightest stars in the Dhrupad firmament. Within themselves they not only transformed the art of Dhrupad singing but also breathed new life to the form of duet or jugalbandi singing. Previously, jugalbandi in the field of classical music had degenerated into a competition between the two singers where each tried to outdo the other in exhibitionism. Moinuddin and Aminuddin on the other hand brought back the concept of a harmonious synchronization between the two singers. In a typical performance by the Senior Dagar Brothers, the honey rich voice of Aminuddin will draw the audience into a deep meditative mood by gradually descending the notes of the lower octaves and Moinuddin would dazzle the listeners with his alankars or ornamentations in the upper octave. After having established Dhrupad in a pedestal of glory in India, they were invited to perform abroad. The two brothers visited Russia and Japan mesmerizing the audience of both East and West with their divine music. Their music proved to be so charming that </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alain_Danielou" title="Alain Danielou"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; text-decoration: none;">Alain Danielou</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"> the renowned musicologist and the then director of </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNESCO" title="UNESCO"><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; text-decoration: none;">UNESCO</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"> invited them to tour Europe and perform under the UNESCO banner in Berlin, Venice and Paris. In 1964 the European audience listened enthralled to their singing and newspaper after news paper declared the glory of Dhrupad and of the Senior Dagar Brothers. A review of their performance published in Le Monde of Paris dated 17 November 1964 perhaps best expresses the mood of the western audience: “... we will remain under the deep impression of an art of such greatness and intensity that... we feel touched and moved to the deepest of our being.” Ustad Nasir Moinuddin Dagar died soon after this concert in 1966. Aminuddin who had regarded his brother as his greatest guru and his father substitute was left completely devastated but he continued his journey as a solo performer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background: white;">Born into a family of keertankars and Sanskrit scholars, C.R. Vyas was born in an obscure village of Thair, near Osmanabad in Maharashtra. He was born in a village that did not have any facilities for formal education. However, that did not stop his determined mother, who wanted her sons to have good education. As such, she went on a hunger strike for days just to convince her husband to provide good education for all the three sons. Eventually, his father gave in and the kids were admitted to a school in the town under the guidance of Vyas' maternal uncle. Though Vyas' uncle was a farmer, he was an excellent sitarist. This helped Vyas to a great extent in his music interest, when his uncle admitted him under the tutelage of his friend Pt. Govindrao Bhatambrekar of Kirana gharana where he learnt music for over a decade. It was the demands and willpower of his guru that Vyas managed to build up his classical base.</span> <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, Vyas neither comes from any old gharana (traditional lineage of khayal singers) nor limits himself to narrowly following any one particular gayaki. "I wanted to learn music not gharanebazi (gharana politics)," he asserts.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="apple-converted-space"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white;">For a person whose first love, first commitment and first passion is music, he is bound to make it big in the industry with a long list of disciples following him. In the music industry, it is C.R. Vyas who is regarded as one of India's leading vocalists. With immense contribution to the world of Hindustani classical music, C.R. Vyas was successful in making it big into his dreams and goals, thereby carving a niche in his related field. Since childhood, he was ambitious and high-powered on learning music and ended up creating his own distinct style with a perfect blend of melodies from various gharanas. He is best remembered for singing the khayal style, a modern genre of classical singing in North India, much similar to the qawwal singing style.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background: white;">Apart from being a successful vocalist, Vyas ji was also known as a bandishkar. He wrote about 300 compositions set to various ragas and a book titled raag sarita. Recipient of several awards like the Sangeet Natak Academy and Padma Bhushan, Vyasji's music had shades of the Gwalior, Agra and Kirana gharanas.<br />
</span><br />
"In our time we did not think of earning either fame or money through music," says the ageing yet ebullient and sprightly Vyas, who held a white collar job in ITC for 34 years."<span style="background: white;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white;">C.R. Vyas composed several ragas and bandishes under the pen name of "Gunijan". Dhankoni Kalyan, Sanjogiya, Shiv-Abhogi, Sagera and Shuddha Ranjini are some of his celebrated ragas popularly performed in concerts. He gave over 200 bandishes in different ragas. To honour his Guru Gunidas, Vyas began the Gunidas Sangeet Sammelan in 1977 which is still celebrated in Mumbai and in various parts of India. He even penned a book titled "Raag Sarita" which includes a detail about his contributions to the field of music. He was honoured with several prestigious awards throughout his music career.</span> <o:p></o:p></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #222222; font-size: 12.0pt;">Ali Akbar Khan (14 April 1922–18 June 2009) was a Hindustani classical musician of the Maihar gharana, known for his virtuosity in playing the sarod. Trained as a classical musician and instrumentalist by his father, Allauddin Khan, Khan also composed several classical ragas and film scores. He established a music school in Calcutta in 1956 and the Ali Akbar College of Music in 1967, which moved with him to the USA and is now based in San Rafael, California, with a branch in Basel, Switzerland.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #222222; font-size: 6.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

He first came to America in 1955 on the invitation of violinist Yehudi Menuhin and later settled in California. He was a Distinguished Adjunct Professor of Music at the University of California, Santa Cruz.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #222222; font-size: 6.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Her name was Akhtaribai Faizabadi though she was much popular as Begum Akhtar. Her family belonged to the upper class of the society and was not even inclined towards music. She showed interest in music at a very young age and was sent to train under the great sarangi player, Ustad Imdad Khan. Later, she learnt classical music from great exponents of this field like Mohammad Khan, Abdul Waheed Khan and Ustad Jhande Khan Saheb.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Ali Akbar Khan (14 April 1922–18 June 2009) was a Hindustani classical musician of the Maihar gharana, known for his virtuosity in playing the sarod. Trained as a classical musician and instrumentalist by his father, Allauddin Khan, Khan also composed several classical ragas and film scores. He established a music school in Calcutta in 1956, and the Ali Akbar College of Music in 1967, which moved with him to the USA and is now based in San Rafael, California, with a branch in Basel, Switzerland.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Khan was instrumental in popularising Indian classical music in the West, both as a performer and as a teacher. He first came to America in 1955 on the invitation of violinist Yehudi Menuhin and later settled in California. He was a Distinguished Adjunct Professor of Music at the University of California, Santa Cruz.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Khan was accorded India's second highest civilian honour, the Padma Vibhushan, in 1989. Nominated five times for the Grammy Award, Khan was a recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship and the National Endowment for the Arts' National Heritage Fellowship.</div>
