Excellent Renditions
RC
sometimes the kid inside me gets the better of me , and i cannot help it.
just last week i watched the movie How green was my valley-so many years after reading that nostalgia classic.
For somebody just touching that halfway mark of 50 , the road ahead looks as exciting as the road covered,
and so thoughts flow !!

Coolji,
No hurry, but I would like to hear some of Jitendra Abhisheki's music. I have heard him in concert a few times in the 80s and was really taken by the inward looking quality of his music. No fireworks, no gimmicks--just soulful rendering...
Thanks!

I will tell more about Suha , the only way I can-with anecdotes.
Gangubai , recalls , in an interview about a nice incident.
Her Guru, Sawai Gandharv , had not taught her this raga for many years , inspite of many requests.
Why do you want to learn this ? he qould query and leave it at that.
Once, he had been away from Hubli for a long duration and Gangubai seized a chance to sing this raga for AIR Bombay -she had taught herself, obviously.
But it so happened that her Guru had cut his visit short and was already at Pune when this was broadcast.
And as Gangubais train from Bombay to Hubli steamed into Pune Station , she was horrified to see him getting into the same compartment .He was also travelling back to Hubli.
No sooner as they had settled down , he proceeded to give her a verbal hiding and taught her this raga all the way back to Hubli , right there in the compartment .
no need to hold back your requests.they are a pleasure.
the last time a member wanted to repay me for a gangubai track , he rang me up , alerting me that there was a film festival of documentaries at Sathyam Cinemas and he was waiting there , with a Pass for me.
These favours have a way of coming back to me , always.
I entered the cinema hall just in time to catch gangubai , suppressing her tears , when reminded of her daughters passing away ( No parent should see their offspring pass way in front of their own eyes - it is an indescribable pain -she was lamenting ).
But , gritty lady that she is, she came back with a smile , all in a mtter of seconds.
She started telling a story of how she had stayed with friends at delhi for a live broadcast at Delhi and upon returning home late in the night , she asked the youngest member how he liked her music , and pat came the boys reply
Hey ! No they changed the program i guess.I was in a friends place.
Some other male singer was singing , but it was good !!:D:D
No wonder , she came back after a Cancer surgery , in her throat , and gave a concert at belgaum last year , at the age of 90.

Associating the anecdote with the rendition is easy. If you are using windows XP, go to 'properties/summary/advanced/lyrics' of the MP3 file - the column will save up to 2000 charecters. It can contain an entire karnatak kriti. It is easier in Hindustani - just copy the entire anecdote and paste it to lyrics. If you so wish write the words 'see lyrics' in comments column. When the file is uploaded, these entries remain intact.

murthyhmg, that is a cool idea. And it satisfies the purpose nicely. If lyrics are available, I can add it there as well, space permitting. The text should move with the file even when transferred to portable devices.
As you suggested, I also added 'see lyrics for anecodotes'. In the folder view, I added the 'comments' column, so the comment is displayed in place along with the file name and other properties.
Also, since these are mp3 tags, for platforms that do not support tag editing, one can always use a separate mp3 tag editing program. In fact, there is a 'user text' field in ID3 V2 tags which can be used for such anecdotes if we want to store both lyrics and anecdotes. I do not see a way XP allows entering the 'user text'.
Thanks very much.

One more important suggestion. Don't forget to add - Coolkarni at the end to all those anecdotes provided by him.
Mr. Kulkarni posted a piece of Fateh Ali Khan of Pakistan. unfortunately it is deleted now. I downloaded Megh and Bhupali of the singer from sarangi.info - a Pakistan site. If anyone wants i can upload it. Nice singing.

Just saw this: I love it...he is saying so much, and in such chaste language, I do not think I can do justice to the translation...suffice it to say, he makes a VERY romantic statement..

sumram
one was a movie by mani kaul on siddheswari devi ( it took him 35 years to complete the project !) and the other was a NFDC production on Gangubai.
Recently Doordarshan came out with a promotional video , showcasing all the projects -released till date plus the ones in pipeline.
I will try and get that CD back-doing the rounds with friends- and see if i can give a brief idea of all those albums in the forum.
In a few weeks time...

We want more.. more.. more.... It sounds so dynamic but yet simple in construction. It is hard to execute with swara suddham and speed. The attraction is also the artist's manodharma of when to provide the kArvai and when to sing at breakneck speed continously..coolkarni wrote:yes.

Scan any material on Malini and the word tappa and tharanas are sure to pop up in the first few lines.
I remember watching an interview with Amjad Khan and to the question
Which is your most forgettable movie ?
and he answered
Sholay .. without doubt.The role of Gabbar Singh.
And he proceeded to explain to the shocked interviewer that the success that followed his portrayal of Gabbar Singh put an end to all his hopes of becoming a great actor.The rest of my life i have been playing the same kind of roles , in different forms , and making a living out of it -he mused.
Mercifully a classical singer need not be typecast in a similar way
(though some in the audience do their best by shouting Matha kalika , or bhavani dayani , the moment they see the faces of their heros on stage)
Malini is also an artist with a Test Match temperament .Can build those big 80 minutes plus khayals
BTW the Kedar that you heard was from a similar rendering.

Fortunately she is an artist well represented in the Commercial albums.
lots and lots of tapes have been published...

Dear Mr. Coolkarni,
Are you talking about this song on the http://homepage.mac.com/patrickmoutal/m ... l/rag.html website? If yes, I'm unable to locate it on that site. I could find only Darbari there. If you mean it is on that megaupload site, that reads to a broken link.
Having read those lyrics, I'm now really eager to hear that Malkauns rendition.
Somebody, anybody, please help!
Thanks and regards,
Here is the part of the track where he launches onto a sweet composition and a tharana.simply amazing stuff.coolkarni wrote:here is a great malkauns rendering by Fateh Ali Khan (param - this is not nusrat fateh ali )
a pakistani singer whose recordings I have heard only recently after getting them from -who else? - Raju Asokan.
And I have been simply bowled over by this artist .

Hi bdeepu
Fateh Ali Khan, born 1933, Patiala gharana
I like his voice. I think he is a great singer. I have three CDs by him
1. ACCD1038 Megh, Malkauns and Khamaj
2. ECM1442 Ragas & Sagas with Jan Garbarek Saxophone, vocal support Deepika Thathaal, sarangi Nazim Ali Khan and tabla Shaukat Hussain Khan.
3. Emi863270 (7243 863270 2 4) duet with brother Amanat Ali Khan, 3 tracks Malkauns 14, 6, & 9 minutes and 3 tracks Yaman 12, 10, & 8 minutes
(CDA94015 & CDA94016 - did not buy these CDs - good music but poor recording - heavy bass)
Email kantidattani@aol.com for further information. I am not in music business and don't sell CDs. I buy CDs from all over the world. I am in UK. CDs are cheaper in India and USA.
