Anil Biswas - Page 2

Will see if I can get any more facts on him later today

wow what a nice article.. thank you so much swar_raj ji. 👏 👏 👏

My favourite Anil Biswas compositions:
Seene mein sulagte hain armaan (Talat, Lata) and Intazaar aur abhi (Lata). These two songs are sheer magic!

Didn't ANIL BISWAS come to SAREGAMA to be one of the members of the jury in the MEGA FINALS ????

Dil Jalta hai to jalanne de...rings in my ear when ever KL Saigal is mentioned.

Great Song

I know what you mean as other remixes are just killing the beauty of wonder ful songs...hate remix. Sudesh Bhosle is a great singer.

Maestro Naushad, has paid glowing tributes to Anil Biswas in a popular TV program in these words- "Anil Biswas, my guru, is the first music director to have introduced the use of melody and counter melody in his songs and his background score, and I and others have greatly  benefited from Biswas's successful experimentations"

Heres' what Lata mangeshkar had to say abt Anil Biswas.

------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------

ANIL BISWAS : MULTIFACETED GENIUS Anil Biswas is a composer steeped in classical and folk music. He has a fine grasp of Bangla folk muisc, but he also has a profound knowledge of Urdu poetry. It is sad commentary on the state of things that inspite of all that he has done for film music he has been forced to leave this field. (Subsequently he joined AIR, Delhi). Anilji composed his tunes to suit the situation. Normally when a music director records a song, his whole attention is focussed on the voice of the singer. Anilji is a little different in this matter. He does not give as much importance to the singers's voice as others do. Once h has composed the music of the song, he gets it sung by the singer int he manner he wants and, invariably get shte results he is looking for. I have learnt many things from Anil Biswas. The singers normally pay more attention to the tune rather than the words of a song. There was a time, when I too did the same; but then I learnt from Anilji how important for clarity the correct pronunciations of the words is. I studied the complexity of sound too under his supervision. And I learnt another very important thing from him: how without breaking the taal and laya, one can breathe while singing. I practised this very thoroughly. Now I am never aware of my breathing when I sing flat or sharp notes.

"You may sing in whatever 'swar' you like, but your voice should remain the voice of Lata Mangeshkar", was his advice to me. It isnot always easy to follow that advice, though.
