Sarod Maestro Padma Bhushan Ustad Haafiz Ali Khan

Ustad Haafiz Ali Khan (1877 - 28 December 1972) was an Indian Sarod Maestro. He was a tall figure in twentieth-century sarod music. A fifth-generation descendant of the famous Bangash Gharana of sarod players, Haafiz Ali was known for the lyrical beauty of his music and the crystal-clear tone of his strokes. The occasional critic has, however, observed that Khan's imagination was often closer to the semi-classical thumri idiom than the austere dhrupad style prevalent in his times. He was a recipient of the civilian honour of the Padma Bhushan.
