  • living legend swapanji.

  • Wonderful performance by Ustad Rais Khan - Raag Shankara Bihag. Sapan Chaudhari also is simply wonderful. One thing I do not understand as to why the posting has been tagged as 'Pakistan' and 'Pakistani'? Rais Khan is a true Indian Muslim artist.

  • @bbdeshmukh21 this is not even Bihag.

  • This is Nand Kalyan, not Shankara Bihag

  • @bindujoshi , ustad bade ghulam ali khan migrated from pakistan to india and he is known as an indian singer, so why this can not apply to rais khan, he migrated from india to pakistan, simple logic

  • Ustad Rais Khan is the best sitarist....I also like Nikhil Banerjee.

  • Yes I agree with Jaganperfect. The use of the MDNS etc. is particular to one version of Bihag. There are several versions of Bihag. And Khansaheb also tunes his sitar to harmonics, not arbitrarily only - again for the purity of shrutis - which are based on harmonics. In his younger days he used to not only use the #4 string but tune the instrument in Eb!!

  • @BABAMUGHALBABASAHEB

    Good God I love him <3

  • These recordings are a treat indeed. Ustad Rais Khan saheb is the most prolific Sitar player to have lived in India, Pakistan and for sometime in US as well. His Raaga rendition is unparalleled, unlike his other more renowned and illustrious Ustads from the same family such as Vilayat Khan Saheb and Imrat Khan Saheb, Ustad Rais Khan Saheb prefers to play the Sitar on # 4 Strings which is a thicker gauge than the usual. Hence, his TONE and Purity of Shrutis are better. MNDN, DNS is fine in Behaag

  • It's funny that someone told Ustad Rais Khansaheb that he shouldn't play N D N, M D N S. I love when lay people tell the Ustads and Pandits what to play and what not to on a computer screen.

  • One of the best sitar players ever!!!! The amount of 'mithas' in his sitar is beyond compare.
