| Ghulam Ali Khan (1903-1968) was one of the foremost musicians of the early twentieth century whose musicianship influenced the current senior generation of Indian musicians. Although he excelled in khayāl, many musicians fondly remember his ṭhumrī performances for his ability to interpret the emotions of the text. |
| In this brief performance (originally recorded for a 78 rpm disk), he introduces the principal melody in the typical sthā'ī-antarā form, performs several verses, playing with the words (bolbanāo) and closes with a laggi section. |
