A SESSION OF GHAZALS: MAESTROS: VOL 1
The hallmark of Ghulam Ali's style is his mastery over Classical Music and perfect understanding of the ghazal. He fuses them perfectly to bring this complex amalgam within the easy reach of all. The result -- timeless compositions like
Hungama kyon hai barpa,
Dil mein ek lahar si uthi hai abhi,
Mehfil mein baar baar usi par nazar gayeen,
Kal Chaudavin ki raat thi, to name only a few.
His incomparable rendition of the ghazals through his pioneering style, coupled with his impeccable voice, carries even the most disinterested listener to a height where sheer ecstasy reigns supreme.
Ghulam Ali has a heavy, baritone voice, and while rendering ghazals he creates very subtle vibrations in his voice which he uses very beautifully, to convey a whole range of emotions through it. He could make it sound hopelessly romantic, he can make it sound melancholy, he can make it sound anything that he wants almost effortlessly.
