Kishori Amonkar

Kishori Amonkar is a unique classical vocalist and a supreme exponent of the Jaipur atrauli gharana. Her mother Mogubai Kurdikar, initiated Kishori Amonkar into classical music.

Kishori Amonkar's effortless singing in a rich and mellifluous voice has always been her audience's delight. True to the tradition of her gharana, she retains the purity of a raga. However, Kishori Amonkar, unlike her mother, a staunch purist, has at times sung light classical compositins such as bhajans, devotional mantras etc. Kishori Amonkar has been the recipient of the gana saraswati award, the Sangeet Natak Academy award, the Padma Bhushan and the sangeet Samrajni award.

In this album, kishori Amonkar renders Raga Gaud Malhar, Basant Bahar, Sampurna Malkauns, Alhaiya Bilawal, Ahir Bhairav and Vibhas.

Remastered &edited by G. Saraswati at "Swar Sudha" studios, Delhi
