What an exemplary control KLS had over sur(tone/voice)and laya(rhythm/its variations) at the same time i.e.in parallel that too in a Taal-Deepchandi of 14 beats in this hori/song which is not simple taal like kaharva or dadra or even Teental but difficult as it has 3-4-3-4 parts with sam at first beat as usual and khali at beat no. 8 unlike Teental of 4-4-4-4 parts which is relatively easy being uniform but 3-4-3-4 is difficult to master with variations of Raag/sur at the same time in parallel.
KLS had exemplary control over sur(tone/voice)and laya(rhythm/its variations)at the same time i.e.in parallel since this requires splitting of mind one for laya/tal and other for sur doing justice with both at the same time,which is very difficult for even top class musicians what to talk of ordinary ones.That is why KLS was praised by top pure classical musicians of his time-Ustad Faiyaz Khan,Ustad Abdul Karim Khan,who both met saigal and congratulated him for his divine singing in film-Devdas.
This song would get 101 marks out of 100, 1 extra for the all time greatest singer's (in light and light classical music genres) divine voice and divine control on sur and laya in this not so easy to sing Bhajan in Taal--Deepchandi-of 14 beats.
This shows KL Saigal's exemplary bent and hold towards classical music even in the beginning of his career. Had he not come to films, he would have perhaps groomed / excelled as a pure classical singer. It is told that he used to sing classical music in private and public performances till early thirties of last century before he was established in films but no recording is available and the same is lost for ever.RC Boral,MD when he heard KLS had instant liking for KLS and took him in films.
KL Saigal had exemplary control over laya/taal i.e. rhythm and sur i.e. tonal variations at the same time running in parallel, which makes his singing a divine experience, which no body else is able to match till date in the field of light and light classical music including most of all pure classical musicians except few of pure classical musicians like Abdul Karim Khan, DV paluskar, Bade Gulam Ali Khan, Hirabai Baodekar. His voice had sachcha sur i.e. true tones/semitones with all 22 shrutis.
Thanks for posting this song.. There is no Match for KLS. His way of singing Bhajans and ghazals were very unmatched . Listening to these songs really makes me feel close to almight himself.
Great upload.Thanks.
