Amonkar trained under her mother, classical singer Mogubai Kurdikar of the Jaipur gharana (musical tradition of Jaipur), but experimented with a variety of vocal styles in her career. She is considered one of the prominent representatives of Hindustani classical music

किशोरीजी भारतीय शास्त्रीय संगीत परिदृष्य की ज्‍येष्‍ठ, श्रेष्‍ठ एवं विलक्षण कलाकार हैं. उन्‍होंने भविष्‍य की पीढी के मार्गदर्शन के लिए गायन की धरोहर एक दस्‍तावेज के रूप में छोड रखा है !

[shrewdfox1]

what can I comment ,except say ;

God be praised ;subhanallah .

your singing is profoundly moving Kishori ji

[ribandarcho]

Music can't get any better. Voice full of emotions and the singing so sublime. I wonder what western composers like Mozart whould have thought, had they heard it. Perhaps, a new realization of what melody really means.

[waupelani]

@ribandarcho Every culture's music has different things to offer. If you look in Mozart's oeuvre for the amaing melodic sophistication of Khayaal, you may be missing the point. Western music, especially by Mozart's time, had become harmonically sophisticated -- something you don't find much of in Indian music. They're both beautiful - in different ways. The more you listen without comparing and ranking, the more beauty you will hear.

[ribandarcho]

@waupelani My apologies. My comment was based on listening to these genres for a long time and I am an avid fan of western classical music . I was thinking of what a western composer would make of indian melodic structure. Incidently, one of the high school math projects that I mentored was titled ' Lack of harmonic chord patterns in North Indian classical music'. The student won the first prize at state level. I sincierly hope that I did'nt do dis- service to Indian music by mentoring her.

[waupelani]

@ribandarcho Oh, apologies not necessary. You are absolutely right, Khayaal lacks harmonic complexity. But I think it's more productive to think of it as rooted in a very different logic, and so the question of lack does not arise. If we speak of "lack" then from an Indian perspective, western classical "lacks" microtones (and tempering of the klavier was a horribly destructive act), performers "lack" creative freedom, etc. But these are not deficiencies because Bach and Chopin created beauty.

[panchamkauns]

@ribandarcho I’m sure you did ICM no disservice. Everyone knows there are no harmonic chord patterns in ICM: It's like "lack of parrots in the Arctic".

Lovely, one of the best thumris ever recorded!!

[PieterdeRooijHolland]

One of my all time favourites!!! I love this recording sooo much. Finally on Youtube :)

[yourmita]

my heart bleeds whenever Ilisten to this

[bluepatentbelt]

Munshiman....how do you have so much information about who is on the tabla and on the sarangi. Thankyou so much.

i have always wondered who they must be or what year was this thumri recorded. The sarangi is just superb.

To say anything about how great kishori tai's Bhairavi renedition is, would be showing a diya to he the sun.
