I am hunting for the CD of Padmavati Shaligram-Gokhale that had been
brought out by Makar Records many years ago. Online searches indicate
that Makar has shut shop. I would be very grateful if someone could
point me to any source where it may be available.

Special offer: MAKAR RECORDS

MAKAR RECORDS in Paris ist das einzige Label in Frankreich, das sich
ganz der klassischen indischen Musik gewidmet hat. Die
Veröffentlichungen sind in mehrere Serien aufgeteilt. Interessant ist
die 10 CDs umfassende Serie von Vertretern der verschiedenen Vokal-
Gharanas. Einige dieser Sänger und Sängerinnen sind vielleicht etwas
akademische, andere grosse inspirierte Vertreter ihrer Gharana. Ganz
besonders verdient gemacht hat sich das Label aber um die
Veröffentlichung der ebenfalls 10 CDs umfassenden Serie von Vertretern
der verschiedenen Dhrupad-Schulen (Vanis oder Banis). Grossartig sind
auch die drei CDs, die verschiedenen Schulen der südindischen Vina
gewidmet sind.

Makar Records hat seine Arbeit leider eingestellt. Zum 1. Mai 2007 hat
Raga Maqam Dastgah den gesamtem Lagerbestand übernommen.

Einige Titel bieten wir für einen längeren Zeitraum für 8,00 EUR an.

Einige wenige Titel, die nur noch in sehr begrenzten Stückzahlen
vorhanden sind, haben schon jetzt den endgültigen Preis von 12,00
EUR.

Die Titel MAKCD 001, 005, 016, 018 und 033 sind vergriffen.

Unfortunately MAKAR RECORDS stopped their work. As of 1 May 2007 Raga
Maqam Dastgah has taken over the complete stock of Makar Records.

Some of the titles we offer for a longer period for 8,00 EUR.

A couple of CDs, which are available only in very limited quantities,
have now already the price of 12,00 EUR, which will be the final price
for all MAKAR CDs.

The titles MAKCD 001, 005, 016, 018 und 033 are no longer available.

Raga Komal Re Durga: Alap (10:58), MAKAR, MAKCD 006, EUR 8,00

Born in 1970 in Bombay, Bahauddin Dagar comes from a very famous
family of indian classical music singers. He has studied the Dhrupad
on Been since the age of 11 under the guidance of his father late
Ustad Zia Mohiuddin Dagar. Considered as the greatest bin player and
teacher of his time, his father has taught him all the shades of the
Dagarvani dhrupad. He is today a student of his uncle, Ustad
Fariddudin Dagar, a very important exponent of the Dagar Family, and
one of the four last senior Dagar alive. Specialised in a very
difficult instrument, the rudraveena, Bahauddin Dagar is actually
considered as the confirmed star of instrumental dhrupad. A musician
by profession, he has produced himself for the first time in 1989, and
has toured since in many prestigious festivals in India (Bhopal's
Dhrupad samaroh, Gwalior's Tansen samaroh, Indore's Amir Khan samaroh)
and abroad (Seattle's Ragmala Festival E.U.Š). Very respectful of the
traditions, he shows also a perfect mastering of the instrument.

Ustad Shamsuddin Faridi is one of the last musicians of the famous
Beenkar maestro Ustad Bande Ali Khan's direct line of disciples. For
his first time on CD, the unmatched musician gives a glimpse of his
virtuosity and his fantastic mastery of raga and alap. Ustad
Shamsuddin Faridi was born in 1937 in Bhavnagar (Gujerat), in a family
of musicians. He has learnt Dhrupad on Been and Khyal on Sitar from
his father, Ustad Mohammad Khan Desai Faridi, a Master of the Indore
gharana. The style shown on this album is the Khandarbani style,
closely linked to the been tradition. His family tradition is closely
linked with Ustad Bande Ali Khan, the greatest been player of the 19th
century. Court musician for the Maharaja of Indore, and then settled
in Kirana, Ustad Bande Ali Khan was one of the most prestigious
musicians of the Nizam of Hyderabad and the Maharaja of Mysore. He has
trained an impressive list of disciples: Ustad Wahid Khan, Ustad Rajab
Ali Khan, Ustad Murad Khan (Indore gharana), Imada Khan and Ratna
Rehmat Khan. He is the founder of the Kirana Gharana.

Ustad Hameed Khan (born 1951) and Ustad Chhote Rahimat Khan (born

been trained since childhood by Abdul Karim Khan, their father (a
relation of the famous khyal singer of the same name). Tenants of the
instrumental side of the Gwalior school they are heirs to 400 years of
classical music. Their grandfather Ratna Rahimat Khan (born 1863) has
been the most celebrated indian classical music instrumentalist of his
generation: he has settled the reputation and originality of his
family by mixing the instrumental techniques of the sitar with those
of the bin, and has most certainly created many aspects of the actual
modern khyal music on sitar. Ustad Hameed Khan, a Ph. D. in Hindi and
Music, is completely dedicated to teaching at Karnataka University
(Dharwar). He is a well known concertist whose style allies tradition
and incredible tonal perfection. In this recording he comes from the
left speaker. Ustad Chhote Rahimat Khan, teaching at the Kala Academi
of Goa, has developed an elegant and virtuoso style. He is also well
known as a concertist in India and Europe. In this recording he comes
from the right speaker.

Ravi Shankar when he was 18 years old. Still a student of this
incredible master, he has toured and played intensively with him in
India, Europe, and the USA. Partho Sarathy plays in a very personal
style sustained by great inspiration. He has also developed his very

Born in Billimoria, Pandit Jal K. Balaporia has dedicated himself to
the study of classical singing from the tender age of 6. In 1938 he
started to follow the traditional Guru-Shishya Parampara training at
the feet of vocalists of the Gwalior school: first Sitaram Eknath
Pandit, then Shri Ghanekar who was a student of Krishnarao Mulay. From
1944 he received the lessons of Dr Harihar Gangadhar Moghe, an heir to
an important part of this very ancient school through his teacher Shri
Eknath Vishnu Pandit. An artist on All India Radio since the fifties,
he has dedicated himself to teaching: many students are following his
guidance at Bombay University. Pandit Jal K. Balaporia is one of the
very few artists to have kept untouched the original Gwalior style.
Not only has he preserved the original microtones, rhythms and tempos
on which the poems have been composed, but he is also the guardian of
a fantastic amount of khyals and other poetic styles typical of the
Gwalior school such as chaturang, ashtapadi, tappa, tarana on slow
tempo, the work of the best poets of the last six centuries.

classical music from his grandfather Ustad Chand Khan, a famous khyal
singer who adopted him and made him the head of the gharana. He also
learnt from his uncles Ustad Milal Ahmad Khan and Ustad Naseer Ahmad
Khan and from his father Ustad Zahoor Ahmad Khan. When he was six
years old he started touring all over India. When he was 10, he
started singing on All India Radio. He received his first distinction,
the "Amir Kushrau Gold Medal" when he was 13. He started touring in
Europe in 1988. He is today the official Khalifa of the Delhi gharana.
His style is unique, both powerful and delicate. He sings long alaps
such as those used in dhrupad. His knowledge of the ragas is
impressive and he masters several hundred compositions, some of which
signed by Amir Kushrau or Bahadur Shah Zaffar, the last moghol
emperor. "Iqbal Ahmad [Khan] is undeniably capable of holding his own
in the most select gathering of Hindustani musicians." S.K. Saxena,

Begum Akhtar was born on the 7th October 1910 in Faizabad, in a family
of music lovers. Her first teacher was Ustad Imdad Khan, a sarangi
player who used to accompany famous singers such as Gauhar Jan or
Malka Jan. She went on learning with Ustad Sakhawat Hussain Khan, a
famous sarod player who managed through his recommendations to get her
accepted as a pupil by Ustad Ata Muhammad Khan, a old singer of the
Patiala Gharana. Thanks to him the young Akhtari Bai was able to
acquire a classical voice through the training of the khyal singers.
She recorded her first Thumri record in Calcutta at the age of 30. The
recording was immediately successful and started her professional
career in the clasical music circles. Her musical success opened up
for her a career in an expanding film industry (amongst others in the
film of Satyajit Ray Jalsaghar). She was invited to sing in a number
of royal Indian courts. Inspired by famous thumri and ghazal singers
such as Moizuddin (Majooddin) Khan and Gauhar Jan, she remained the
student of khyal singers such as Ustad Wahid Khan. But she was never
allowed to sing khyal: all her life, she was a victim of prejudice
against Muslim female singers: she was not allowed to sing classical
music, and her repertoire remained artificially limited to the so-
called «semi-classical» music, the thumris, horis, dadras and ghazals.
From Akhtari Bai she changed her name to Begum Akhtar, and received
the Padmashri and the Sangeet Akademi Award. She went abroad on tour
several times during the sixties. Begum Akhar died on the 22nd October
1974, after having taught for a while in the Bhatkande Music College
in Lucknow. For the first time a release of quality archives of Begum

Recorded in mono, this recording has been digitally remixed and
remasterized in stereo. All the songs are uncut and recorded during an
all night private concert given on the 16th of January 1953.

music' master that has moulded the ghazal into classical music, she is

thumri, hori, khajri. She is also, since the death of Ustad Munawar
Ali Khan, a student of Ustad Iqbal Ahmad Khan of the Delhi Gharana
(this school is intimately associated with the Patiala school). The
emotion, honesty and dramatical intensity that she displays in her
music has made her famous in India. The quality of her voice is

Bhairavi is one of the ragas most often performed in the classical
tradition of Hindustani music. The Bhairavi mode, as well as the
Bhairav mode, are not unknown in the West: they are often heard in
music influenced by gypsy music: flamenco, arabo-andalusian music.
This is because the three important gypsy migrations originated from
Rajasthan and that the people of gypsies there, the Lohar Pasa, are
devotees of Lord Bhairav. A lot of their songs follow raga Bhairavi or
raga Bhairav.

Bhairavi follows this scale :
SA REk GAk MA PA DHAk NIk SA
SA NIk DHAk PA MA GAk REk SA
but is played with a number of added notes (Sindhu Bhairavi is one of
the few traditional ragas with 12 notes in descent) and with zig-zag
(vakre) ascents that are different in every school. Bhairavi is played
in all styles, Qawwali, Thumri, Dadra, Hori, Tappa, Ashtapadi and less
often in Khyal or in Dhrupad. In most gharanas it has become usual to
end the concert by raga Bhairavi.

MAKAR RECORDS - Special offer up to the 22nd of january 2010

We offer again for a limited period up to the 22nd of januray 2010 the
CDs from MAKAR for a price of 5,00 EUR, the double CD MAKCD 026 for
8,00 EUR. Excepted from this are the CDs MAKCD 002, 003, 011 and 025,
of which only very few copies are still available.

MAKAR RECORDS in Paris is the only label in France exclusively devoted
to classical Indian music. The CDs are published in a couple of
different series. Interesting is the series of 10 CDs of vocal
Gharanas. Some of the singers are a little academic, others are very
inspired representatives of their Gharana. But of special merit is the
publication of the series of 10 CDs by representatives of the
different schools (Vanis or Banis) of Dhrupad. Superb are also the
three CDs devoted to different schools of the South Indian Veena.
Unfortunately MAKAR RECORDS stopped their work. As of 1 May 2007 Raga
Maqam Dastgah has taken over the complete stock of Makar Records.
Some of the titles we offer for a longer period for 8,00 EUR.
A couple of CDs, which are available only in very limited quantities,
have now already the price of 12,00 EUR, which will be the final price
for all MAKAR CDs.

The titles MAKCD 001, 005, 016, 018, 019, 030, 033 & 040 are no longer
available.
