RECENT PRESS REVIEWS:

My vision is to bring in quality and traditional classical music to the forefront. I also aim to enhance the quality of music, people are currently listening to.

"I feel what I sing is resonated with a lot of feeling through the notes of this instrument" (Times of India, Mumbai)

His new album "Desires" presents a fresh sound, something completely different from what we have heard on the last 20-odd albums.
(The Statesman, India)

"I live music"
It's to the credit of Irshad Khan that even an ancient instrument like the surbahar breathes music even now

In footsteps of legends
I don’t do gimmicks and I don’t believe in jamming. Whenever I do fusion or jazz performance I do it with full knowledge of western music,” accomplished sitar maestro Irshad Khan told Metrolife, a day after his concert at R V College in Bangalore.
