Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan Vol. 9 is a deeply reflective and refined recording that captures the late-period artistry of Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, the iconic maestro of the Patiala gharana. Marked by unhurried raga expansion, luminous sur, and graceful, measured taans, the performances prioritise emotional resonance over display. The music unfolds with quiet authority—meditative alaps giving way to poised improvisations—revealing a master at complete ease with form and feeling. Subtle, dignified, and spiritually rich, Vol. 9 offers an intimate window into classical excellence and is a treasured listen for connoisseurs and collectors.
