Sitar Recital: Ustad Shahid Parvez November 12, 2010

Shahid Parvez Khan is one of the most brilliant musical gems of the famous Etawah Gharana and belongs to the seventh generation of this musical lineage. He is privileged with both belonging to an illustrious musical family, and for achieving success in not only preserving the tradition but in pushing its boundaries to even greater heights of aesthetic beauty. The power of his music is most immediately encountered in the highly charged sound quality he conjures from his Sitar and the sparkling intelligence that is the hallmark of his improvisatory music. As quoted by Rajasthan Patrika - "After listening to Ustad Shahid Parvez, the future of Sitar is still bright after Pandit Ravi Shankarji." La Monde wrote about him; "heir apparent to Ravi Shankar".
