Ustad Rashid Khan — Set of 4 Music CDs

A substantial four-CD collection featuring Ustad Rashid Khan, one of the most celebrated voices of Hindustani classical music. This Sagarika collection presents an extensive selection of his vocal performances across a wide range of ragas, showcasing the depth, expressiveness and extraordinary command of melody for which Rashid Khan became renowned.

The collection includes performances in Raga Bhimpalashri, Chayanat, Megh, Hansadhwani, Shyam Kalyan, Jhinjhoti, Bahar, Bhatiyar, Kaushi Kanada, Charukeshi and Barwani. The program also extends beyond khayal-based raga performances to include Thumri in Kirwani and Pahari and a Bhajan in Bhairavi, making this an unusually broad survey of Rashid Khan's artistry.

Issued by Sagarika in 2006 as a four-disc boxed collection, this set offers listeners and collectors an opportunity to explore an important body of recordings by a major modern exponent of Hindustani vocal music. An especially worthwhile addition to a serious Indian classical music collection.
