MALIKA-E-GHAZAL---PADAMSHRI BEGUM AKHTAR :

Born as Akhtari on October 7th,1910 at Faizabad in a family of lovers of music and shifted to Lucknow when she was young. Her first teacher was Ustad Imdada Khan, a sarangi player. She continued her apprenticeship with Ustad Shakhawat Hussain, a reputed sarod player who recommended her to become a desciple of Ustad Ata Muhhamed Khan.Akhtari Bai now known as Begum Akhtar, an expert in Ghazal, Dadras and Thumri very soon reached the heights of fame and popularity. During recitals whenever she reached a high note her voice would crack, but strangely enough this was considered by connoiseurs as the highlight of her recital. The audience would wait eagerly for that delicious crack in her voice. In order to become a successful ghazal singer it is very necessary to select a lyric which is easy to understand, and has meaningful verses, with flashes of playful poetic imagination. Having come across such a piece of poetry the singer has to put across musically in a suitable tune with a complete understanding of the poetry, in perfect diction and in an expressively emotional style. Begum Akhtar possessed all the qualities that are so vital for a good ghazal singer. The notes which she produced were so limpid, so hauntingly sweet, that the audience was immediately captivated. She had the uncanny knack of choosing the right kind of ghazal and adorning it in a befitting tune; she would render it so endearingly that her every note would grip the hearts of the audience. At 30, she cut her first disc for the Gramophone Record Company, one of the sister concerns of H.M.V. She commenced as courtesan Akhtari Bai, and then withdrew from singing for several years after marrying a respected barrister, to be reincarnated in her later years as Begum Akhtar (d. 1974), a singer of the concert-hall rather than private courtesan performance. Was awarded Padamshri and Sangeet Academy Award. After teaching for some time at Bhatkhande Music College she died on October22, 1974. A two rupees stamp and first cover was released by Post & Telegraph Department, Government of India in her honour.
