MUMBAI: Worldwide Records has launched ‘The Gold Collection’, a treat for serious listeners of Indian Classical Music.
The first album to launch in this series, Sitar by Saeed Zafar Khan consists of ragas like Yaman Kalyan , Jaijaiwanti, Kalawati and Mishra Des. Accompanying him on tabla is Ustad Shafat Ahmed Khan.
For Saeed Zafar Khan, it was natural to crystallize as a gem of a sitar player for he was born in a home where his cradle was literally surrounded by stalwarts of the Delhi Gharana.
His style blends tantrakari (instrumental virtuosity) with flashes of Delhi Gharana Gayaki (Vocalism).
Tunefulness, tonality, rhythmic patterns and raagdari (treatment of the raag) all go together to make Saeed Zafar Khan’s performances highly appealing. An â€?A’ class artist from A.I.R., he has regaled audiences in numerous concerts both at home and abroad several times.
Worldwide Records says Saeedji is a true artist and he just mesmerizes you with his music. The Gold collection is a collector’s edition and each album is a gem worth owning. Sitar by Saeed Zafar Khan is the first in this series and is available in stores all over India.
