Move to make rare recordings of Indian classical music accessible
It's a treat for all Hindustani classical music fans. Five thousand hours of rare footage of some of India's finest performers, from M, S. Subhalakshmi and Bhimsen Joshi to Ustad Vilayat Khan have been carefully preserved and there's even a move to allow public access.
But unfortunately the idea has not pleased everyone.
These rare recordings have been carefully preserved for over forty years in the vaults of the National Centre of Per-formingArts in Mumbai.
Ustad Vilayat Khan
From Ahmed Jan Thirakwa to M. S. Subhalakshmi, some of the greatest masters of Indian classical and folk music have performed here at the NCPA. These recordings along with interviews will be made public for the first time.
"Hie first recording as you can see was in 1970 of Ahmed Jan Thirakwa," says D. B. Biswas, Trustee, National Cen-
tre for Performing Arts explaining the value of the recordings.
Some of the finest performances were recorded live at the NCPA auditorium and some in the studio. Many have never heard this music before.
Take the example of Ustad Vilayat Khan's rendition of raaga Bilas Kilatori on the stir bahar -- an instrument virtually extinct today.
And the exotic folk music from Rajasthan recorded in the villages of Sirohi, Jaisalmer and Barmer.
M. S. Subhalakshmi
According to Dr. Suvarnalata Rao, Coordinator, Music Programme, National Centre for Performing Arts, "The voices are untailored, there are no added effects and no reverberations. It's absolutely pristine recording."
But at the same time, this move has also been opposed by some artistes, who say the NCPA should have consulted
them first.
"When I saw the NCPA website, I saw that a recording of mine which I had done in 1988 was being mentioned in the catalogue. Should they not ask me first before they decide to sell my recording?" says classical vocalist Shubha Mud gal.
"We are a premier institution which does not want to do anything wrong for the artistes. We will protect their rights," adds Dr. Suvarnalata Rao.
Many of these legends have

long gone. It's only their voices that remain now. These records form a tremendous legacy that must be kept alive.
"For a younger generation there has been no opportunity to hear these artistes. So it's our duty to make this music available to them," says musicologist, Ashok Ranade.
