Ustad faiyaz Khan - Raga Gaud Malhar Alap & Dhamar

[@kabirsuman1070]

Ustad Faiyaz Khan - the only male kheyal singer in the subcontinent who had a baritone voice while all others sang at higher pitches. Going just by the pitch of the voice Ustad Faiyaz Khan was totally different - a breed apart so to say. It is curious that the subcontinent never had a such a voice again. Such a sonorous baritone! His voice booms : deep, sonorous but clear, precise and full of compassion. I am endlessly grateful to the soul who shared this recording with all of us. It is not only high entertainment but a lesson too.

Kabir Suman Can't quite agree. Male singers of the Agra Gharana (and allied gharanas) like Ustads Vilayat Hussain Khan, Sharafat Hussain Khan, Latafat Hussain Khan, Ramarao Naik, Pt. Kumar Mukherji etc all sang in a low pitched baritone which is almost a characteristic of the gharana. Even the female singer Shuvra Guha is no exception. It may be that Faiyaz Khan towered above all of them as the originator of the style but nevertheless it is not justified to say that the subcontinent has had no other sonorous baritone after the great Faiyaz Khan.

Beauty of this rendition is to listen how slowly a Raga can be unfolded.

[@soumitralahiri9393]

Sudipto Biswas I can't agree more with your comment. The sense of time seems to get suspended with such slow elaborate unfolding of the raag and yet at the end we wish it were longer!

@@sudiptobiswas6114 It appears that you've misunderstood my point or rather my English.

[@jigneshsolanki9242]

it's not dhamar,the title is wrong. Kahe ho is a vilambit bandish of Agra gharana in raag gaudmalhar, please change the title.

[@supratimdas1234]

Where is dhamar? Please make the necessary corrections in the title।
