For Sale: 3 Master piece albums from Dr Prabha Atre

For Sale 3 master pieces from Dr Prabha Atre.


Dr Prabha Atre ( डॉ. प्रपा अत्रे ) : An introduction :

Although Prabha Atrre is undoubtedly one of top-ranking vocalists of the Hindustani classical tradition, she is possibly the least recorded artiste in the commercial circuit. She is also known to be one of our avant-garde vocalists. Her approach does now show a willy-nilly rejection of the age-old gharana ideology which sets her from some of her contemporaries of her times.


There is a noticeable influence of Amir Khan and Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, on her gayaki. In this sense, she can be called an eclectic artiste. Paradoxically, even while doing so, she has boldly attempted to bypass, so to speak, the tradition of khayal singing. Mark, for instance, the way she rather casually dispenses with the antara phase in her exploration of vilambit khayal. This has generated extreme reactions among many of our concert-goers.

One has, however, to concede the fact that even while doing so, she shows her ingenuity and craftsmanship in giving her raga unfolding a perfect sense of design and proportion. On the other hand, the pre-eminence she accords to sargams in the scheme of raga depiction often sounds rather out of place. She has argued, through her writings and lecture-demonstrations, that such elements in her approach are neither off-beat, nor do they mean deviations from pure classicism.

As a performing artiste, Prabha Atrre is always a big draw. But here again, and rather strangely, her public performances have been rather few and far between. Her well-cultivated voice is indeed her fortune, and rigours of teaching have not taken a toll on its expressive power. Added to this is her uncanny ability to make her voice express her musical ideas and intuitions in an eloquent manner---be it khayal or thumri. The sound-picture that emerges is always one of sculptural beauty.
