Book Reviewed: 50 Maestros, 50 Recordings by Amaan Ali Khan and Ayaan Ali Khan

Indian classical music and a book of cultural choice

In this edition, the authors have described the work of 50 classical musicians from India. The life and their work are very briefly described. The elucidation is rather sketchy and the work and recording information is incomplete. Many recordings have dominated the classical music world for decades and their work is available from numerous sources. But not all the recordings have been listed in this book.

These two Muslim authors were born to a Hindu mother. As always, in these relationships, children become Muslims on the belief that they are few steps closer to God as Muslims. Jihad works! And it is very much alive!
