Ustad Imrat Khan (17 November 1935 – 22 November 2018) passed away - May he rest in Peace - In his memory some broadcasts from WDR, Cologne

The Ustad passed away on the 22th of november in the US. I was very fond of his Surbahar Alaps. May he rest in Peace.

Over the years we had posted 7 LPs by him. Here we present in his memory some broadcasts by WDR in Cologne, from concerts in their concert hall in 1986 and 1996.

Imrat Khan - Surbahar & Sitar - Music from India Series 10 - LP published in Great Britain in 1969

Here another LP from the Music from India Series, in which between 1965 and 1969 a number of beautiful recordings were released, which were at the time amongst the most easily available recordings of classical Indian music in Europe. Earlier EMI - His Master's Voice had already released a number of other LPs. We had posted recently two by Vilayat Khan from 1962 and 1963.

See here a complete discography of the Indian releases in the British ASD series:
