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.

Warm regards,
Abhay

[When preparing to upload these pieces in Raag Yaman, I noticed that the member 'pradeepjoshi' has already uploaded one rendition of "ai rii aalii piyaa bin" by Kishori Amonkar just a couple of days ago. I am, however, going ahead with these uploads anyway because I have already posted on the companion thread; also, I am travelling for almost a month starting tomorrow and may not have high-speed Net access till I return home.]

Next in line in the traditional and well-known Yaman bandish, "ai rii aalii piyaa bin". Roshan had Lata Mangeskhar sing this bandish in its original form for the film "Raag Rang" in 1952. That song can be found in post # 66 on this link:

http://www.hamaraforums.com/index.php?show...id=561935&#

I am uploading below three renditions of this bandish. Although is both famous and popular, it is not heard much today primarily because performers don't seem to sing this raag at concerts these days. (Do they perhaps think it is too basic a raag? Misguided souls, if so!)

The renditions here are all by masters. First off, a recording of a live recital by Kishori Amonkar (this is a different recording from the one uploaded by Pradeep). She is in good form here; in the hour-long original recording, she starts with another canonical chiiz in Yaman, "mo man lagan laagii", moves on to this bandish, and then sings a tarana. "ai ri aalii" is sung for 10:18 minutes. The male voice in the background (heard clearly in a taan toward the end) is of her disciple Raghunandan Panshikar. The upload here is in mp3 @ 160 kbps.



The second upload is a much shorter rendition by Bhimsen Joshi. I am not sure of the provenance of this recording, but I like it a lot and am uploading it despite below-average audio quality. (Please keep this in mind before you decide to download the file!) The 4:25-minute recording is encoded in 160 kbps.



The last recording is the rarest of the lot: it is by Ganesh Ramchandra Behre (1890-1965), better known as Behre-buwa. A direct disciple of Abdul Karim Khan, Behre-buwa also learnt from three other legends: Bhaskarbuwa Bakhle, Vazebuwa, and Rajab Ali Khan.

There are hardly any recordings of Behre-buwa's in the public domain. This one is taken from an old radio recital. As in the BJ clip above, be warned that the audio quality is not great - although, given the age and the source of the recording (recorded on spool tape off the radio), it is not as bad as I would have expected! The duration of this rendition is 4:33 minutes and it is encoded in mp3 @ 160 kbps.



Warm regards,
Abhay
