Kishori
Amonkar, widely considered the finest female
vocalist of her generation, was bom in 1931,
daughter of another great artist, Smt Mogubai
Kurdikar. In her early years she absorbed the
approach and repertoire of her distinguished
mother's teacher Ustad Alladiya Khan. As her own
style developed however she moved away from
Alladiya Khan's "Jaipur gharana" style
in some respects, and as a mature artist her
approach is usually regarded as an individual, if
not unique, varient of the Jaipur model.
Kishori
Amonkar is a leading exponent of Khayal and semi
classical forms of Hindustani music, including
devotional songs. Trained vigorously in the style
of her gharana, she has assimilated the best in
other gharanas as well. She has also researched in
Indian music and conducted seminars and workshops
on the subject. Kishori Amonkar has performed
widely within the country and has many popular
records to her credit. She has performed in
prestigious arts events abroad, including the
Festivals of India in the U.S.A and France.
Though
her public image is sometimes dominated by
perceptions of an uncompromising approach and inapproachability, the power and emotional appeal of
her music has kept her in the forefront of classical
music lovers' thoughts for many years.
