Classical/semi-classican Compositions That Inspired Film Songs, Companion to the Sangeet Ke Sitarey thread "Famous Songs And Thei Options

[abhayp]

In the Sangeet ke Sitarey forum, Faraaj has started a thread about film songs inspired by earlier songs. In many cases, the inspiration for a song is a classical/semi-classical bandish. This thread is meant for the longer classical and semi-classical pieces; I am starting it here so that classical music fans can also access these pieces easily.

The first piece being uploaded here is a "kajri" that inspired the famous Lata song from "Udan Khatola" - "more sai.nyaa.Njii utare.nge paar ho nadiyaa dhiire baho". It has been sung by many singers; the version being uploaded here is by the great Padmavati Shaligram (Gokhale) of the Jaipur Atrauli gharana. It is taken from a recording of a live concert where she also sang a wonderful Nand. The kajri is 18:16 minutes long and is encoded in mp3 at 128 kbps.

I am a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge fan of Malini Rajurkar's rendition of "Garjat barsat bheejat aailo". I am pretty amused by your characterization of it as having a "frantic edge"
I actually like that edge for this particular song. I heard her sing live about 10 years back in New Jersey - the first time I ever heard her sing and was completely enthralled by her singing. WHen I found this cassette of hers with this rendition, I was in 7th heaven.
Thanks for uploading an mp3 of it since I have still not gotten round to digitizing that cassette.

And considering all the other comments that have already been floated about the sister threads in SKS and here, I probably do not need to add, but will "Great great threads".
