Thumri and dadra are perhaps the most evocative of classical forms that give expression to the supreme emotion of love in all its colours and dimensions. Born in Lucknow, Shanti Hiranand learnt khayal gayaki from Ustad Ahjaz Hussain Khan of Rampur and then found her guru, guide and mentor in the queen of thumri and ghazal, the late Begum Akhtar. The repertoire rendered by Shanti Hiranand in this album has a distinct flavour of Lucknowi gayaki, which is embellished with, richly patterned harkats and murkis, typical of the Punjab ang and akaar from the Purab ang of thumri gayaki. |
