 Sarangi-Music of India
~ The World (Rykodisc/Mickey Hart Series), Ustad Sultan Khan In
November 1974, George Harrison and Ravi Shankar collaborated
with some of the greatest Indian musicians of this century on
an American concert tour. During their stay in San Francisco,
the Indian performers were invited to do an informal concert
at The Stone House, a granite room in Fairfax, California.
This recording is a document of that event, featuring Ustad
Sultan Khan on sarangi. The sarangi is a bowed, stringed
instrument with a highly vocal sound and a limited number of
able masters.

 Ustad Sultan Khan & Zakir Hussain [LIVE]
~ Ustad Sultan Khan, Zakir Hussain This is a great performance.
This is Ustad Sultan Khan on sarangi, and Zakir Hussain on tabla.
Recorded live in concert in New Jersey in 1990. I give it 4 rather than
5 stars because I think the end was cut off of the drut gat. I have also
always felt that the sarangi is more suited for gats than alaps, so it
never quite has the powerful alaps of which the surbahar, sitar, and
sarod are capable.

 Piya Basanti [IMPORT]
~ Ustad Sultan Khan If you have a taste for Oriental Folk
music, this is a great place to begin. The album is fantastic
by any standard, with soulful music, great lyrics (if you
follow the language) and great singing too. Ustad Sultan Khan
is an internationally renowned musician, better known for
playing the Sarangi, but his vocal prowess is one not to be
scoffed at, as he proves here. Highly recommended. I am biased
since I worked for the company that launched the album, so
check it out yourself! |

Three Gharanas
~ Ustad Sultan Khan
Ustad Sultan Khan is one of the foremost sarangi players of India, renowned for the emotional depth of his playing, and his extraordinary technical and melodic control over this difficult string instrument. He is one of the representatives of the Indore
Gharana, made famous by Ustad Amir Khan. A scion of illustrious lineage of sarangi players, beginning his training at age seven, he learned the rudiments from his father, Ustad Gulab Khan who was both an accomplished sarangi player and a vocalist. A little wonder then that the Ustad like his father, always punctuates his concerts with vocal Amir khani nuances. When he picks up the sarangi to lilting Sargams where he has left off vocally, the succeeding notes emerge in continuation as though the sarangi sings. His systematic
Badhat, exquisite Gamaks, and intricate Tans make his performances unique and
soulful
