	Ustad Amjad Ali Khan: Moksha
		Amjad Ali Khan is a Recognised Master of the Sarod, one of the two major instruments in Indian classical music (and one of our very favorites).
		Amjad Ali Khan ranks alongside such luminaries as Ravi Shankar (who of course plays the sitar) in the pantheon of Indian classical music so this album is something of an event to those in the know.
		This album differs from the mainstream classical canon in that Amjad Has decided to dispense with the long, slow build up of the normal raga form, cutting the tracks to enable the Western public to see into the heart of the tunes without having to know too much about the formal structure of the tradition.

	Amjad Ali Khan - smh.com.au
		Khan began the performance by introducing us to the 19-string instrument, which is plucked with a coconut-shell plectrum while the left hand forms notes using the edge of the fingernails.
		Khan has lashings of virtuosity, but the alap (slow movement) of his opening afternoon raga - the concert beginning at 4.30pm - meandered somewhat, making it less mesmerising than might have been anticipated.
		When Khan joined them for the final (harmonic minor) raga some truly beautiful music was made, the sarod's metallic glissandi shimmering at the conclusion of serpentine lines, in the haze of the tanpura's drone.

	Guardian \| Amjad Ali Khan
		What is most remarkable about Amjad Ali Khan is that he is not better known in the west.
		Khan has never courted western pop success, as once did Ravi Shankar (to his eventual regret), yet in many ways his style is even more accessible.
		Like a west African griot, he comes from a long line of hereditary musicians, and the tradition still continues: at the start of the second half he left the stage so that his two sons, Amaan and Ayaan, could show off their sarod skills.

		As for the music, this is a borderline monster performance by Amjad himself.
		Amjad's sarod is absolutely singing to you during long stretches of the gats here.
		It's okay though because Amjad is so explosively lyrical and inventive here that he just sucks your mind right into him and the tabla truly becomes a background detail.
