Khansahib Abdul Karim Khan (Album)

De här inspelningarna – daterade till ungefär 1935 – hör till bland det mest andlöst vackra någon kan lyssna på. Karim Khans röst virvlar likt en fjäril runt  den indiska ragan. Eller som La Monte Young skriver: ”When I first heard the recordings of Abdul Karim Khan I thought that perhaps it would be best if I gave up singing, got a cabin up in the mountains, stoked it with a record player and recordings of Abdul Karim Khan, and just listened for the rest of my life”.
