Ustad Rashid Khan renders Raga Lalit in all its beauty in the Tansen collection of original compositions by the legendary musician who came to be known as the monarch of Indian music. The renditions in this album feature both the vocal technique of Dhrupad and Khayal style of singing. Ustad Rashid Khan is a leading artiste in the Rampur-Sahaswan gayaki, closely related to the Gwalior gharana, which features medium-slow tempos, a full-throated voice and intricate rhythmic play. Rashid Khan includes the slow elaboration in his vilambit khayals and also developed exceptional expertise in the use of sargams and sargam taankari. He is also a master of the tarana, but sings them in his own manner. His renderings stand out for the emotional overtones in his melodic elaboration.
