Description
When one talks of ghazals in hindi film music, two names that will always stand out are those of Lata Mangeshkar & Madan Mohan and the music they produced together. There is a timelessness, an almost divine beauty and soulfulness in Madan Mohan Sb's music, the poetry of some of our best lyricists, and in the renditions of those songs by Lataji. The songs featured in this episode are - 1. Yun hasraton ke daagh - Adalat (1958) 2. Aapki nazaron ne samjha - Anpadh (1962) 4. Naghma-o-sher ki saugat kise pesh karoon - Gazal (1964) 4. Lag ja gale se - Woh Kaun Thi(1964) 5. Ham hain mata-e-koocha-o-bazar ki tarah - Dastak(1970) 6. Rasme ulfat ko nibhayein to nibhayein kaise - Dil ki raahen(1973) 7. Jaane kyun, yaadon ka mausam hai - Veer Zaara(2004) You can send feedback on this episode to [email protected]
