We present you a recording in raga darbari sung at panjim kala academy,1970's.Ustad Azmat Hussain Khan belonged to the very prestigious families of traditional vocalists of Atrauli (said to be Jaipur) Gharana, Khurja Gharana and the Agra Gharana, which has given India such giants as Haji Ustad Altaf Hussain Khan, Ustad Allahdiya Khan, Ustad Vilayat Hussain Khan, Ustad Fayyaz Khan, Ustad Tanras Khan and many others. Like all truly great masters he contributed to and enriched his great musical heritage. Under the pen - name of Dilrang he composed more than 150 Bandishes in various Ragas such as Todi, Shree, Marwa, Puriya Dhanshri, Malkauns Kedara, Malsri, Devgiri - Bilwal, Bairagi, Bilhagda, Bhoopali, Hindoli "Chandrajog", "Devta Bhairon" (the last two are his own creations). His compositions stand out for their lyrics and beauty of form. Khan Sahab had been acknowledged as the greatest exponent of Khurja, Atrauli (Jaipur) Gharana, after Ustad Allahdiya Khan and Haji Ustad Altaf Hussain Khan. Ustad Azmat Hussain Khan, died in Bombay on 26th July 1975, after a brief illness.

Just discovered your blog. Excellent choice of old masters. Unfortunately the files can't be downloaded: either they are password protected (I can't find anywhere on your blog a hint to what the password might be), or they even don't exist anymore. What to do?
ReplyDeleteJust figured out the password myself.
