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.



The post talking about the film song can be found at

Warm regards,

One of Lata's most beautiful (and beautifully sung) filmi songs is Bajubandh Khul Khul Jaye from the film Bazoobandh (1954) based on Raag Bhairavi, that most popular of raags for film music. I have uploaded both this song and a wonderful 3m 32sec Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan rendition of Bajubandh here:

http://www.hamaraforums.com/index.php?s=&a...st&p=563925

As companion pieces, I upload two other longer renditions. The first is by Ustad Barkat Ali Khan of the Kasur Gharana - who was also Bade Ghulam Ali Khan Saab's brother - running at 8m 36s.



The second is by the late Ustad Amanat Ali Khan of the Patiala Gharana running at 9m 27s.



It would be unfair to compare these two renditions with that of the giant Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan - but both are very good. Both are mp3/192 kbps...



Enjoy!

Kind Regards
Faraaj

Lovely uploads, Faraaj! I am a big fan of Barkat Ali Khan's - I hadn't heard his rendition of this thumri before. Thanks a ton!

I am uploading another rendition of this beautiful thumri by Sureshbabu Mane, son and disciple of Abdul Karim Khan and elder brother of Hirabai Barodekar. Sureshbabu was a wonderful singer who died tragically early. This is from an 78 rpm recording; the sound quality is not the best but is sufficient to convey the beauty of the rendition. The duration is 3:56 minutes and the recording in encoded in mp3 @ 160 kbps.

Warm regards,
Abhay

Hi Abhay

His voice resembles his father's...I feel that Ustad Karim Khan Saab had a slightly soft, almost feminine voice....unlike for example Ustad Faiyaz Khan (I still regularly hear his Jhan Jhan Payal Baje - obscenely good!!!)....however, he more than compensates that with his singing ability.....

Do download the Barkat Ali Khan rendition....I don't want to play favourites and compare him to Ustad Amanat Ali but he's given an excellent rendition.....

I have more filmi/classical coming up over the next ten days....keeping the seat warm for you wink.gif ....I expect payback in the form of some Faiyaz Khan and Rasoolan Bai pieces!!!

Kind Regards
Faraaj
