Kishori Amonkar - Recreating A Dream
Review by Sue Bride
Recreating A Dream by Kishori Amonkar is a stunning album that showcases the legendary Indian classical vocalist's exceptional talent. The album features a collection of live recordings of her performances from the 1980s and 1990s, which have been remastered to create a rich and immersive listening experience.
The album opens with the track "Aaye Na Baalam," a hauntingly beautiful rendition of a traditional thumri. Amonkar's voice is soulful and evocative, and she effortlessly conveys the emotions of the song. Other standout tracks on the album include "Raga Bihag," "Raga Bhimpalasi," and "Raga Lalit."
What sets Recreating A Dream apart from other classical Indian music albums is the exceptional quality of the recordings. The remastered tracks sound crisp and clear, allowing listeners to fully appreciate Amonkar's incredible vocal range and mastery of the classical form.

Notes
- From the CD Kishori Amonkar
- Kishori Amonkar is unquestionably the most versatile and popular woman vocalist of the present generation. Kishoris is the kind of music that
- casts its magic spell over her listeners as few others can. Kishori Amonkar also enjoys the singular distinction as the first woman pioneer of the
- avant garde movement in Hindustani music. And that makes her a controversial exponent of the musical tradition of North India.
- Daughter and disciple of the great Mogubai Kurdikar, the doyenne of the Atrauli-Jaipur gharana, it is natural that music to her is a
- maternal inheritance. But her genius has sought to overshadow the blue-blooded gharana, pioneered by her mothers mentor, Ustad Alladiya
- Khan. Thereby, she has widened her horizons of musical expression and discovered fresh fields and pastures new, to the perennial delight and
- fulfillment of millions of her fans.
- The Music
- Raga Jaunpuri: This is a raga, conventionally rendered in the later hours of the morning. It has a caressive, persuasive quality, with an undertone
- of melancholic yearning caused by separation. This mood is captured and projected so eloquently by the artiste.

- as its vadi and samvadi swaras. Another view is that nishad and gandhar are, respectively, its vadi and samvadi swaras. Be that as it may, this in no
- way affects the innate emotional content of the melody.
- The artiste begins her presentation with a slow-tempo depiction, set to teentaal (16 and appeal of its own, which has swayed the
- emotions of listeners down the centuries. It has an odava (pentatonic) build-up, in which madhyam and nishad
