Amjad Ali Khan, the sarod maestro reveals, he has always admired the system of western classical music. The greatest achievement apart from the solo performances, is their ability to jointly perform with a large number of musicians as an orchestra. Countries like Austria and Germany have produced so many great composers, conductors and musicians.
He felt very happy and proud when BBC magazine declared his CD on Raga Bhairav as one of the best CDs on classical music of the world in 1995. Historically, only European music was considered in this category. Asia and Indian music was always under the category of world music. He is sad that India's music is included in this category. He hopes that one day we have our own category of Indian music.
