Description: Until his death at the young age of 43 in 1985, Vasant Rai was one of the world's most acclaimed masters of Inian classical music. Born in Unjha, in the province of North Gujarat, India, in 1942, he began musical education at the age of seven. He studied vocal music with his father, Govindji Brambhatt, and instrumental music with his elder brother, Kantilal. Vasant became proficient on sitar, violin and flute, and appeared in his first concert at age 11. In 1958, after 13 years of musical experience, Vasant became the disiple of the incomparable guru, Padmavibhushan Allauddin Khan, and was the last student to receive the maestro's complete musical training. He emerged a virtuoso on the sarod. This is a unique, rare live performance recording of Vasant made by John Wilton, Raga Records on a Nagra, September 21, 1981 "Vasant Rai is one of India's best sarodists. His abilities as a performer, teacher and composer enable him to make unique contributions to Indian music, I have been associated with Vasantji for many years and have a great regard for his artistry." — Pandit Ravi Shankar
