Three compact disc set of vocal artistry from the exponents of the Patiala Gharana.
The collection is a tribute by Ustad Munawar Ali Khan, accompanied by his son Raza Ali Khan, to his mentor and guru, the legendary Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan who reigned supreme as a highly original classicist.
With his powerful, lyric-dramatic voice, Ustad Munawar Ali Khan is here at his finest in an imaginatively devised collection of various ragas, soulful bhajans and vivacious thumris. Ustad Munawar Ali Khan & Raza Ali Khan is obviously at home in repertoire and sing with a nice rhythmic feeling as well as plenty of fervour. Through their talent and genius the duo make the bare notes vibrate, pulsate and come alive.
