Rahul Sharma |
|
Poised, sensitive, humble and exceptionally talented - that is Rahul Sharma, the younger son of Santoor maestro Padma Vibhusan Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma. At the age of twelve, Rahul started learning the Santoor along with training in vocal music and percussion (Tabla) from his father. Today, Rahul is amongst one of the most sought after young musicians not just in India but across the globe. His clear understanding of the various aspects of Indian Classical music is deep - and this is evident in his approach towards the delicate unfolding of a raga through alap and then weaving through the intricate rhythmic time cycles. Rahul has assisted his father with music compositions for such blockbuster Hindi movies as "Chandni", "Lamhe" and "Darr". In 2002, Rahul debuted as the music director for "Mujhse Dosti Karoge", directing legends such as Lata Mangeshkar. In addition, Rahul has composed music with Richard Clayderman, a Pianist of great stature on a collaborative project called "The Confluence". As a maestro in the making, Rahul is the rightful torch bearer responsible for taking this once-considered folk instrument of the mountains called the Santoor to unparalleled heights. |
