I used to have the EP that had two wonderful songs sung by Kishori Amonkar and tuned by Hridaynath Mangeshkar:

- jaa_iin vichaarit raanaphulaa

- he shyaamasundar raajasaa

The EP is long lost, and I have been trying in vain to find these songs on cassette/CD. Does anyone have these two beauties?

Warm regards,
Abhay

Hi Abhay,
Nice to see someone who likes Kishori Amonkar's songs. Well, I just have "He Shyam Sundar" from your request.
By the way, I also have two of her Abhangs, "Mee Maajhe Mohit" and "Avagha to Shakun". Let me know if you'd want them uploaded.

Thanks a ton, Dhananjay! I have been trying to find these two songs for ages. Now that one has surfaced, I hope the other one is not far away.

At your convenience, please do upload the others you.

Warm regards,
Abhay

Here you go

1. Mi maajhe mohit
2. Avgha to shakun

-Dhananjay

Got hold of a few more abhangs by Kishori Amonkar. Lemme know if anyone would like them uploaded. Here is the list :

1. Avgha Ranga Ek Jhalaa
2. Bolavaa Vitthal Pahavaa Vitthal
3. Ya Pandhariche Sukh
4. Mazhe Maher Pandhari
5. Jani Jaay paNiyasi

-Dhananjay

'jaa_iin vichaarit raanaphulaa' - any chance of this one being uploaded?

'he shyaamasundar raajasaa' is astonishingly beautiful. I always thought that Hridaynath reserved the best of his tunes for his 2 great sisters.

Regards-Archie.

Dhananjay, neki aur poochh poochh?

Hey Mandrake,
Good to see you again !!! Well here it goes - the first two songs :

And the next two :

Dhananjay, sorry for the delayed reply - this stuff is excellent!!

I didn't even know that Kishori had sung this much sugam-sangeet.

Thanks to you, this was a treat

Now, can I ask you something simpler?

vel zaali bhar madhyaanh..... preetichya fula?

Any chance of getting 'jaa_iin vicharit raanaphulaa'??

Apologies for sounding so greedy but 'he shyamsundara' is so beautiful that I just cant wait to hear the song on the flip side of this EP.

Regards-Archie.

Dhananjay,

I have mazhe maher pandhari sung by Pt. Bhimsen Joshi. Has this song been sung by various artists?

Hey Guys,
Even I'm looking for the tracks you have asked for.... Both of these are amazing songs, it's sad they haven't shown up as yet .... Let's hope that some kind soul would upload them sometime !!!

-Dhananjay

Yes Lata, this song has two different versions. Personally, I like the Bhimsen Joshi song better.
In fact "Bolaava Vitthal, Pahaava Vitthal" posted above ,also has another version sung by Jitendra Abhisheki.

-Dhananjay

I too liked Pt Bhimsen Joshi one better.

Got it!!

Finally got hold of a recording of "jaa_iin vichaarit raanaphulaa"! The sound is obviously not CDQ, but is not bad either. Will u/l it in a day or two so others can share my joy.

Warm regards,
Abhay

Here it is: Kishori Amonkar singing Shanta Shelke's words to Hridayanath Mangeskhar's music.

I have been listening to it non-stop for the last 2 days - and still don't tire of it. Hope you folks enjoy it as much!

Warm regards,
Abhay

Abhay, thanx for the lovely song!! Who's better, the singer or the composer?

Dear Abhay,

Many many thanks!

The proprietor of The Maharashtra Watch & Gramophone Shop at Ranade Road, Dadar had promised me that he will record the song in an empty cassette for me. However, your generosity has helped me!

Regards-Archie.

Dear Mandrake: We have heard the composer composing other masterly tunes for his talented sisters but we seldom get to hear Moghubai's daughter sing such bewitching bhavgeets.

Dear Archie,
I hope you have also downloaded the other Kishori gems these guys had uploaded. To me they were a fabulous treat as I didn't even know that some of them existed!
HF has been a real boon.

Wot say?

Abhay,
Can't blame you for your non-stop "paraayaN" of this song. It's done the same thing to me. Just finished listening to it for the sixth time within the last hour....the song has a mesmerizing effect. Thanks again !!!
