1. Teer-E Neemkash - A premier record label
by Nalini Madiwale
Teer-E Neemkash is a collection of 6 classical ghazals performed by Nalini Madiwale. Music
for the album has been composed by the famous sitar maestro Ustad Shahid Parvez and the
album has been produced by Ashis Sengupta. The blend of beautiful Urdu poetry and soul
touching classical raga based tunes makes Teer-E-Neemkash a must have ghazal album in a
connoisseurs collection. The album is a fine example of the long association of Urdu poetry
with classical music.
The album features ghazals by Mirza Ghalib, Allama Iqbal, Firaq Gorakhpuri and Meer Taqi
Meer, besides Ustad Aziz Khan. The latter is the late father and guru of Ustad Shahid
Parvez.
Based on classical ragas, the ghazals are all pleasant and tunefully sung. Ghalib's "Har Ek
Baat Pe" set to Mishra Khamaj gets the album started on a mellow note. After "Dayar-E-
Ishq" (Iqbal) set to Rageshri and "Mutarib Se Kaho" (Firaq) in Mishra Gaara, Ustad Aziz
Khan's nazm "Insaan Tu Bhi" brings a sombre touch with Mishra Shivaranjani. This nazm
has neither been published nor recorded before.
Ashis Sengupta, a tabla exponent and composer, has added his midas touch to the music
arrangement that adds lift and body to the compositions. Touches of violin, tabla, sitar and
sarod enliven the compositions. All in all, the album makes for a soothing listening
experience.
