Ustad Faiyaz Khan was born towards the close of the last
century in a family of musicians belonging to ‘Rangeela’ Gharana (School).
Owing to the death of his father while he was a child, the responsibility for
his upbringing fell upon his maternal grandfather who initiated him into the
art and as he was staying at Agra, Faiyaz Khan got the training of both the
Rangeela and the Agra Schools. He starting giving public concerts at the age of
15 and soon got recognition as the most outstanding exponent of the Agra
Gharana and even today fifteen years after his demise, he is remembered and
revered for the brilliance of his performance.

He had a very massive voice, deep and robust, and his
presentation was spell-binding. Although Khayals were his forte, he was equally
impressive in the renderings of Dhrupad, Dhamar, Thumri and even lighter modes
like Dadra and Sawaree. About the year 1915, the late Sayajeerao Gaikwad of
Baroda appointed him a court musician in his Durbar and he held that position
till his death in 1950. He was also awarded the title ‘Aftab-e-Mauseeqi’ by the
Maharaja of Mysore for his meritorious performances.

 On this disc is offered a selection from recordings made
by him years ago. Listening to them even today is a thrilling experience, so
divine, so sublime is the quality of their presentation.
