Shiv Kumar Sharma was one of the most gifted musicians of Indian classical music.
I remember a concert of his in Varanasi in the 80s, he had the ability to take the audience to another level, a real master!
Together with the also very gifted Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia they composed the music for several Indian films under the name Shiv-Hari. For example, Yash Chopra movies; ‘Silsila’ 1981, ‘Faasle’ 1985, ‘Vijay 1988, “Chandni” 1989, “Lamhe” 1991 and “Darr” 1993
We also hold in highest honour the musical masterpiece “Call of the Valley” 1967 with Hariprasad Chaurasia and Brij Bhushan Kabra 💞
