In 2012, he released his first book, Bajanama, which documents early part of Indian recording. Among Mr. Sharma’s collection are the oldest voice recording in India dated 1899, rare records of Ustab Bismillah Khan’s uncle, Surendranath Banerjee’s rendition of Vande Mataram, and the speech Dadasaheb Phalke made after making Raja Harishchandra, the country’s film ever silent film.

In their book, The Wonder That Was The Cylinder, A.N. Sharma and his daughter Anukriti present a detailed thesis on this fascinating subject. Aiding them in the research is their collection of rare cylinders, which they found lying with scrap dealers. Included are recordings of classical doyens Ustad Alladiya Khan and Pandit Vishnu Digambar Paluskar, Marathi music legends Bhaurao Kolhatkar, Bhaskarbuwa Bakhale and Balgandharva, and the father of Indian cinema, Dadasaheb Phalke.
But Sharma’s book — co-authored by his daughter, Anukriti A Sharma — looks beyond the discs to explore an even earlier medium of recording music, the wax cylinders. Decades before the gramophone record was invented, sound used to be recorded on wax cylinders with minute grooves that could be played on a gramophone player. His book, thus, attempts to uncover the oldest recorded Indian. To do so, Sharma spent over 18 months travelling across Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat, in search for these cylinders. “I did this with a missionary’s zeal,” he says.
