Young sarod players Amaan and Ayaan Ali Khan have grown up surrounded by music and musicians. In this tribute to the masters of Indian classical music, they take us through their encounters with fifty of the greatest musicians of the past hundred years -- from Begum Akhtar to Bhimsen Joshi, Enayat Khan to Ravi Shankar, Bismillah Khan to Shiv Kumar Sharma, Semmangudi Iyer to M.S. Subbulakshmi. Ranging from the traditional gharanas to more recent blends and fusions, instrumental and vocal, they explore the world of both northern and southern Indian music, along with a unique listing of each artiste's most influential recording.Enriched with personal anecdotes and interspersed with rare photographs from the author's private collection, 50 maestros, 50 Recordings is an invaluable guide to the best of Indian classical music -- a keepsake for the connoisseur and a comprehensive introduction for the beginner.
