Dhyanesh Khan (1942-1990) - Master of the Sarod - LP published in Germany in 1978


The only commercial recording by the late second son of Ustad Ali Akbar Khan. I saw him live in Düsseldorf, Germany, probably the same year this LP was recorded.

Anjanibai Lolekar (born 1928) - LP published in India in 1968


Here the third post of great female voices of the Agra Gharana. Anjanibai Lolekar was born on 8.9.1928. She learnt from Ustad Anwar Hussain Khan (1910-1966), a brother of Ustad Khadim Hussain Khan and Ustad Latafat Hussain Khan. If she is still living, I don't know. Hardly anything can be found about her in the internet.
