Parveen Sultana - Raag Hansadvani - Taranakishoriray5 min 1 sec - Feb 26, 2007Begum Parveen Sultana ranks today as one of the foremost classical vocalists in India. A child prodigy, she was the youngest artist to receive the Padmashri award, in 1972, from the Government of India. She received her early training from her father Ikramul Majid and her grandfather Mohammed Najeef Khan. Both were ardent music lovers and their nurturing of her talent at an early age enabled her to give her first recital at the tender age of twelve and from then on, there has been no looking back! Her father then put her under the guidance of renowned maestro Acharya Chinmoy Lahiri of Calcutta. Parveen Sultana subsequently found the Guru who further laid down a much deeper foundation that gave a new dimension to her singing, giving it the required mastery of ragas and voice culture that would expand her range to three and a half octaves, Ustad Dilshad Khan, her Guru and husband. Parveen Sultana was trained according to the Patiala Gharana (School of Music), but with Ustadji's guidance the essence of other Gharanas flowed into her music. She handles, with utter ease, a simple raga as well as a complicated one, moving from the slow Alaap to the swift Taans and Bol Taans, her immense confidence highlighting the most beautiful essence of the raga. Whether she sings a Khyal, Thumri or Bhajan, she keeps the form in its pristine purity. Many awards have come her way. Parveen Sultana has been called the Melody Queen and has received numerous awards: 'Cleopatra of Music' (1970), 'Poetess of Music' (1972), 'Gandharva Kalanidhi' (1980), 'Mia Tansen' (1986) and 'Sangeet Samragni' (1994). She has also performed in major festivals and venues in India, USA, Europe and Australia. Parveen Sultana has recorded for HMV, Polydor, Music India, Bharat Records, Auvidis, Magnasound, Sonodisc, Amigo. Association Sargam is privileged to have represented Begum Parveen Sultana, as also her Guru
