The Rough Guide To Bollywood Legens: Mohammed Rafi - Lata Mangeshkar - Asha Bhosle

Цитата:
Continuing its run through the great stars of Bollywood's playback singing, the Rough Guide (and primarily compiler Ken Hunt) have moved to the third of the Big Four (Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, and Kishore Kumar) of the genre with an album of Mohammed Rafi's work. Here, he dips and croons his way through a number of classic performances from the films that his voice graced. The album opens with a number taking freely from the blaxploitation aesthetic, before moving into an early duet with Lata Mangeshkar, prior to their temporary falling-out. A simple happy song passes quickly, followed by a somewhat sparser work (sparse being a relative term in Bollywood orchestration) featuring Rafi's vocals more centrally, and a pair of duets with Asha Bhosle (Lata's sister). Another duet with Lata, post-falling-out, continues the stretch of multiple voices, and a couple of solo pieces showcase the essence of Rafi's vocal delivery exquisitely. The rest of the album follows much of the same formulas, showcasing Rafi in various lights, but especially as a light romantic singer in various contexts. Perhaps most interestingly to some of the Hindustani music purists, there's also a single track here featuring the singer in a more classical context alongside sarangi and sitar. It's a fine work, only muddied somewhat by the ever-present string sections. Ultimately, the listener should have an idea of the Bollywood aesthetic before diving into any full compilation of a single playback singer, regardless of their stature within the genre. That said, this compilation makes an excellent item for those with a basic appreciation of the genre, showcasing one of its finest singers in his best light, as well as in combination with other luminaries of the playback scene. ~ Adam Greenberg, All Music Guide

Any account of Indian playback music must start with Lata Mangeshkar. While it is not possible to more than list the most important playback singers, one, because of her supreme stature, merits detailed attention. Born September 28, 1929 in Indore, India, Lata Mangeshkar has been active in all walks of Indian popular and light classical music having sung ghazals, bhajans and pop. She is the supreme voice of popular Indian music, an Indian institution. Her importance rests not solely with her prodigious output. Many of her performances are considered timeless and undatable, although her voice has changed and matured over the years. In effect she sang the soundtrack for millions of Indians' lives. Until the 1991 edition, when her entry disappeared, the Guinness Book of Records listed her as the most recorded artist in the world with not less than 30,000 solo, duet and chorus-backed songs recorded in 20 Indian languages between 1948 and 1987. By 1990 she supposedly had worked on over 2000 film soundtracks as a playback singer -- meaning she pre-recorded the songs to which the films' leading ladies lip-synched. Dinanath Mangeshkar, her father, owned a theatrical company and was a classical singer, a disciple of the Gwalior school, and gave her singing lessons from around the age of five. She also studied with Aman Ali Khan Sahib and later Amanat Khan. Her God-given musical gifts meant that she could master the vocal exercises effortlessly on first pass and from early on she was recognized as being highly gifted musically. Also in the family were brother Hridaynath, a music director, and sisters Meena, Asha (the famed Asha Bhosle), and Usha. Hridaynath's soundtrack work included Lekin... (EMI India CD PMLP 5206) released in 1990 which, keeping it a family affair, placed Lata Mangeshkar well to the fore. Usha also became a playback singer. Only Asha Bhosle's career can compare in any way with her sister's award-strewn output although by 1994 reports were appearing to the effect that Asha Bhosle had overtaken her big sister's output. Lata Mangeshkar began work as playback singer in the 1940s and grew to become the most famous playback singer of the century. She received her first proper named credit under her own name in actor/director Raj Kapoor's 1949 film Barsaat (the soundtrack from which forms a third of the Barsaat/Aah/Aag album on EMI India CD PMLP 5188). She would sing for every major actress, including Geeta Bali, Nanda, Nargis, Nimmi, Nutan, Padmini, Sadhana and Meena Shorey. The sheer scale of recording activity makes any examination of her life and works impossible in such a confined space. ~ Ken Hunt, All Music Guide

From perhaps the most prolifically recorded artist in worldwide history comes the Rough Guide installment devoted to Asha Bhosle. Bhosle has some 20,000 recordings to her name, making a compilation of 16 a nearly impossible. This compilation was culled from her full archives, with the help of Bhosle herself, as well as her son, so the songs work surprisingly well to represent the various facets of her work. The album opens with a song heavily informed by early rock & roll and swing jazz, a revolutionary sound for its time. It moves quickly through disco on its way to a pair of songs that are somewhat more standard in nature, showcasing the basic forms of film music and Hindustani classical at the same time. "Mera Kuchh Saaman" is a tour de force for her vocal ability, followed by a political work and a powerful chorus piece from the classic Mother India. A more experimental work follows, preceding some light classical, which itself is followed by a duet between Bhosle and her husband. A bit of a Hindu Marlene Dietrich number continues the stretch of innovations, followed by a shorter work that focuses on her ability to turn notes. The album finishes on a trio of classic Bollywood numbers, the final one including a duet with Mohammed Rafi. The full range of Bollywood sounds are represented here, all tied together under the banner of Bhosle's extensive work history. As such, it becomes an important album for those interested in the sound of the film factories of the subcontinent, as Bhosle's been there for nearly the full existence of the industry and usually at the forefront. Her vocals are outstanding, as one would expect, but the real treat for the listener is the chance to hear her ease in moving from one style to another and to be exposed to the full range of her abilities. Give it a listen as a veteran of the Bollywood recordings or as a newcomer -- it will serve well for either listener. ~ Adam Greenberg, All Music Guide
