Synopsis

Album Description

Kishori Amonkar's vibrant, rich and mellifluous voice; her larger-than-life stage presence and the powerful and emotional appeal of her music have kept her at the vanguard of Indian classical music for many years. What also sets her apart from other singers is her soulful interpretation of the Khayal style of singing. Khayal bases itself on a repertoire of short songs which are used for free improvisation given the scales and musical boundaries.

CD Reviews

A sparkling rendition of "Lalit Pancham"

Jayantrao Shinde | Jamaica , NY | 09/23/2005

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Of the 2 ragas that Kishoriji has presented in this album, Lalit Pancham, a fairly uncommon raga, simply takes your breath away! Although the entire khayal has been significantly chopped down and offers you only 20 minutes of bliss, it really is music to the ears!

Todi is good too,however, I would recommend her earlier release."
