  • Music of India: Morning and Evening Ragas is the debut album by Indian sarod master Ali Akbar Khan, released in 1955. Issued on Angel Records, it is considered a landmark recording, being the first album of Indian classical music ever released. Khan recorded Music of India on 18 April 1955, while in New York for the Living Arts of India Festival – a cultural program initiated by American classical violinist Yehudi Menuhin and sponsored by the Ford Foundation. The recording session took place at a guest house attached to the Museum of Modern Art, the day before Khan and his accompanying musicians – Chatur Lal (tabla) and Shirish Gor (tambura) – played a well-received concert at the museum. During the same visit, Khan, Lal and dancer Shanta Rao performed live on the CBS Network's arts show Omnibus, marking the first appearance on US television by an Indian classical musician. In another of what music critic Ken Hunt identifies as "three historical firsts" associated with Khan's 1955 visit, his New York and Washington, DC concerts served as debut recitals for Indian classical music in North America. As president of the Asian Music Circle in London, Menuhin had originally invited sitarist Ravi Shankar to be the main performer at the festival, having met him in India three years before. Shankar was forced to decline the invitation, hoping to save his marriage to musician and teacher Annapurna Devi, but he recommended that Khan, his brother-in-law, go instead. Menuhin subsequently lauded Khan as "an absolute genius, the greatest musician in the world". The success of Music of India: Morning and Evening Ragas encouraged EMI's HMV India to start producing LP-length classical recordings. It also inspired Shankar, who made his concert debut in the West in October 1956 with performances in Britain and Germany, again accompanied by Lal. Also in 1956, having established himself internationally, Khan founded the influential Ali Akbar College of Music in Calcutta. Music of India was reissued in 1995 as disc one of Khan's Grammy-nominated Then and Now album. (en)
