Ustad Rais Khan & Ustad Sultan Khan - Rag Rang Vol. 1 & 2 (1994)

Born on December 25, 1939, in Indore, India, Rais Khan was taught initially by his father Muhammad Khan but was driven by his mother when it came to riyaz (practice). On his mother's side he is related to the sitar virtuoso Inayat Khan of the Imdadkhani gharana. (See Chairman's Choice -- Great Gharanas: Imdadkhani on EMI India.) Rais Khan has also recorded for EMI India and the German Loft label.
Emotional depth, virtuosic instrumental skills, and a passion for melody have been combined through the music of sarangi player Sultan Khan. Taught the rudiments of the sarangi by his father, Ustad Gulab Khan, Khan has continue to evolve as an instrumentalist. Performing his debut concert at the age of 11 at the All-Indian Conferences, Khan is a two-time winner of the prestigious Sangeet Natya Academy Award. He also received the gold medal award of Moharashtra and an American Academy of Artists award in 1998. Attracting international attention when he accompanied Ravi Shankar on George Harrison's Dark Horse tour in 1974, Khan has featured on the soundtracks of Gandhi and In Custody. In 1997, Khan performed at Prince Charles' 50th birthday celebration.
