Faiyaz Khan - Khammaj - namanungi

A fabulous thumri by the great master. The text is also extraordinary, with, in the second part, a beautiful Urdu poem inserted. The speed of the recording is not steady, and there are some other flaws in the sound as well, but the lover of this kind of music will easily accept that. Undoubtedly the most beautiful thumri ever recorded. Pay attention to the delicate pukars (parlandos), and the way gandhar is relished and ravished in tar saptak. Notice also the way in which namanungi becomes manaungi via na bolungi...

शास्त्रीय संगीत में काव्य के भाव को इतनी क्षमता और मधुरता के साथ प्रस्तुत करना यह सामान्य बात नहीं है। साधारणतः सभी मूर्धन्य
कलाकार भी शास्त्रीयता तक अटक जाते हैं।और थोड़ा बहुत भाव को भी स्पर्श कर लेते हैं। फैय्याज, खां साहब को दोनों एक साथ प्रस्तुत करने में महारत हासिल है ।

I heard this rare Khamaj thumri from Ustad Sohan Singh Ji♥️🙏❤️💕♥️

A true and ultimate आफ़ताबे मुसीकी! Unparalleled Agra Gharana singer. There never one like him, there never will be one! How fortunate we are to be able to hear this great man.

Though our most revered Khansaheb was known as one of the greatest Kheyal singers of his generation with his alaps in dhrupad style, he could sing lighter varieties with equal virtuosity as we find in this thumri. It proves that who does sing DHRUPAD and KHEYAL well, can sing anything due to intricate voice training while learning.

I would rather not agree with the final statement. Khaan sahab definitely was a accomplished Dhrupad and Khayal singer, but the fact that he could present thumris, dadras, and ghazals in such a virtuousity as you say is rather a statement of Khan sahab's rigorous thought process of these genres and his ability to mold his performance to these genres. Thumri dadra and ghazal require skill set apart from what is required for Khayal and Dhrupad. And only a few master's like the late Aftaab-e-Mausiqi managed to present all these genres with such an ease

Million of thanks to you for this. I've searched this song, sung by Ustad Faiyaz Khan Saheb, since a long time just like a needle in haystack. This rare piece is very much distinguished. My dream has come true in getting and hearing it after a long long time.
