Amonkar’s singing is characterized by that forgotten sensibility, revelling not just in displays of virtuosity, but also invoking the ideal purity of the sur (note or melody), devoid of frills.
Amonkar has regularly defamiliarized popular ragas, preferring to distinguish her singing not just in terms of virtuosity, but also in the manner of her approach to, and delineation of, the familiar ragas.
Amonkar’s eclectic stringing together of notes — her oddly shaped musical “dome in air” — was evidence of her innate genius in recreating not just classic compositions, but also the ‘classical style’ itself.
