Vintage Gaansaraswati Kishori Amonkar -- Bhoop Nat -- from Arun Dravid's Original Archives

This recording, from a concert on 17th of December 1983 at Vishveshvaraiyya Hall, Mumbai is made available by courtesy of Kishoriji's senior-most disciple, Dr Arun Dravid, from his vast collection of her original live recordings from concerts prior to 1990 which had the distinct stamp of Jaipur Gharana, yet enriched with her skilled beautification of it with her quest for Bhava. As a result, these reflect her refreshingly youthful voice, vibrancy, and musical content not always found in her later concerts

Dear Dr. Dravid, Thank you so much for sharing Kishoritai's work with us. It is truly a treasure. I listen to her renditions and compositions every day, and they are truly transcendent. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to experience her work.

These wonderful uploads have , for me and surely for a large number of Kishori lovers, been a panacea for the stress and uncertainty of this Covid lock down. Music like this takes you far far away into a lilting mist.................. . Thanks to Dr. Dravid

[@dhruv24kap]

Her Bhoop Nat repertoire included some amazing drut's as well - ja re ja re papiha, tarana's etc. Sadly those are not publicly available. Those would add icing to the cake ! Great piece of music nevertheless !!!

Dr Dravid, is there any idea as to who the accompanists were?

[@arundravid1]

Male: Raghu Panshikar; Female: Likely Maya Upadhye
