Many thanks for this excellent selection which makes the raga really clear. The Lata number, "Na dhir dhim" is from a Soviet co-production film called "The Stranger", Hindi name "Pardesi" and the composer, A.R. Quraishi, is none other than Tabla Maestro Ustad Allarakha who used this name when composing for films.
congratulations imirza sahib. i am a 'classical buff' myself. you have filled 'youtube' with somuch great stuff that when i see your name, i must listen to the item. in my opinion you have added enormously to the enjoyment of thousands on 'youtube'. i wish i could spend at least a day or so in your company. zindabad!
You are amazing Mirzaji!!!...Each of the raga introduction, the songs included...very nice...but what I am MOST AMAZED is the VERY rare photos that you have got...In this too the last photo of Mangeshkar sisters ( Lata, Meena, Asha and Usha) is so rare...Meena and Asha are still kids in this photo...Superb!!! I had not seen this photo anywhere,
Two songs missing from this collection the first Vanrag Bhatia's exquisite 'Shamsheer Barena' from Mandi and the other 'Wo dekhen to unki inayat' from Funtoosh.
Anil Biswas was the most under-appreciated composer of his time. What a pity! As for raag SARANG -- there is a mention of sarang as a melody in the musical texts of the 16th and 17th centuries. Gaud itself is a much older and now obsolete raag. But the "Gaud" part means that sarang retains some of the old character of gaud one of which is the typical P/R slide.
Manna Dey, Lata, Asha, Geeta Dutt, Meena Kapoor and D.V. Paluskar, all in one clip doing variations of the same divine raga!
Gar Firdaus Bar Rue Zamin Ast, Hamin Asto Hamin Ast. ( "If there is paradise on earth, it is here, it is here."). I may be forgiven the use of this Farsi line here, first uttered in admiration of the Pearl Mosque in Delhi's Red Fort during the 17th century -- if I recall correctly. Thanks, Mirzaji.
