This wonderful excerpt is from our Director’s Cut trove – a repository of some of the most special artists that the Darbar Festival has presented. In this clip, Veena Sahasrabuddhe performs a tarana in Raag Ahir Bhairav with uncompromising clarity and delicacy. This concert being her last one in the UK before she passed away for her heavenly abode in 2016, is very close to our hearts. The doyen had brought an entirely packed hall to tears at the King’s Place, London, with her rendition of Vande Mataram in the end. Sanju Sahai and Tofail Ahmed remain congruous and supportive throughout the recital, bringing in their brilliant wizardry at befitting moments of the performance.
