I am currently reading an interesting book on Indian classical music. It is very well written and hence makes it easy to read. A book worthy of recommendation.

That gentleman was the worthy son of the indian classical music doyen Dhurjoti prosad Mukherjee aka D.P. Mukherjee. He had written some nice books. I have gone through his book written in my vernacular Kudrat Rangibirangi which may be described as a short history of indian classical music. Besides this, he also penned a nice book on cricket.

This is a brilliant book indeed. Must read for Hindustani lovers.

Just today I stumbled upon this album by Faiyaz Wasifuddin Dagar.. And boy I was mesmerized by the rendition..

The very first number the alap in राग ललित Was meditative...

Dhrpad renditions are indeed so meditative but this was a real eye opener or real sublime eye shutter for me... His voice is so deeply meditative...

I have listened to The Great Kumar Gandharva and the young Gundecha Brothers.. But this rendition by Faiyaz Wasifuddin Dagar was just great...

Hello friends,
Has anyone here attended the prestigious Doverlane music conference held in kolkata? Just curious to know. It is one of the oldest live music programmes that spanned 74 glorious years. The legends of Indian classical music ,Pt Ravi sankar, ustad salamat Ali khan , ustad Allarakha, ustad Zakir Hussain , pt. Anindya Chatterjee ,Pt shivkumar sharma, and many great artists graced this programme over the past 74 years. This year I had the chance to attend this concert and I witnessed how a legacy had been nicely carried by the old and young generation of artists and spectators.
Regards
Bhaskar
