Of the oldest tradition of Sarod playing in India. Gulam Ali's Sarod tradition with immortal compositions, as it is known nowadays, was both patronized and extended by the maestro and his illustrious tradition in India and abroad. His scintillating musical genious and untiring efforts, gave a particular definition to the Indian -Classical Instrumental Music, along with a rich heritage of Sarod, Surshringar, Dhrupadi Rabab, Sur-Rabab, Sitar, Sur Bahar, Mohan Veena, Dilbahar and Nabadeepa, now carried on by his desciples. He invented three new Instruments like 'Mohan Veena' in 1943 (named after the Maestro by Thakur Jaydev Singh in 1948), 'Dilbahar' in 1956 and 'Nabadeepa' in 1967. Though he didn't play his personal creations in public to give more space to the traditional Ragas, there are quite a number of new ragas like, Lalita Manjari, Arun Kedar, Shahi Kanada, Geetabali, Alakananda, Abhashree, Mohankalyan, Deepakalyan, Chandra-Mallar and so on. A large number of his recordings played on Sarod, Mohan Veena and Surshrigar are preserved in All India Radio, National Archives and Durdarshan, (played since the late thirties to the late seventies until the maestro's demise in the 15th October, 1981). He inaugurated the National programme of Music of the Durdarshan in late seventies, the only one and the last recording after his announced retirement from the public performance outside, in 1976, when he was in full form. Radhika Mohan received the 'Sangeet Natak Akademi Award' in 1971 His extensive tours in Australia, China, New Zealand, Afghanistan, Nepal and a concert for UNESCO in Malina (1979) as a member of the Cultural deligation of the Govt. of India and persorial visit to United States resulted in producing a number of desciples abroad also. We pay our homage to the great Maestro with this release from old collections of his first 'OD' with a cassette from 'Bihan Records'
