The Father of Hindi Film Music passed away. Anilda was a genius, innovative and experimental Music Director. He introduced the concepts of orchestration, melody and counter melody in Hindi Film Music. His most valuable contributions among others was introducing the concept of "Voice Culture" but unfortunately except Lata Mangeshker no other singer learned it!!! He introduced Talat Mehmood, Sahir Ludhianvi and Mukesh to the Film Industry. Let us hope that the new generation of the music directors as well as singers learn from his contributions. Let us pray that His soul rest in peace. Dr Padmanabh K. Joshi
We are all mortal, and sooner or later all have to go. However such mortals who leave an impact on a large number of human beings by virtue of their dedication and hard work, as Anil Biswas, the great composer, are not too many. His passing away is a big loss to the music world. May his soul rest in peace, and prayers that God grant patience to the aggrieved family. I am somewhat ignorant on the subject, and would very much like to see a list of Anilda's great compositions. If someone could guide me where to find this list, I shall appreciate it very much. Best regards Akbar Ahmed
Why do such Great Personalities pass away !If they do , their passing away should be kept secret, oh, thats no fair either ! Its just the sad feeling compelling me to write this way.
I have no doubt the whole NATION , especially , those who love the INDIAN MUSIC, apart from living Legends like Lata Mangeshkar and alike, have lost guiding star whereas the upcoming talents have lost just that GREAT PERSON, whose compositions remain an eternal inspiration to all.
Dear Sir, Being a long time favorite of Hindi Film Music (since almost 1965), this is a very sad news for me. Iam now sending you this message to say Thank You for taking the trouble to bring out this message,which most of the news papers too seem to have ignored. Hope your can add some music clips of this doyen of yesteryears so we could take a trip down memory lane. Please do. Thank You. T.M.Vijayakumar, Trichy, Tamilnadu. pin:620 021.
