9 reviews for Akhtari: The Life and Music of Begum Akhtar

  1. Somnath Malik

    Akhtari’s life story is compelling, but this biography felt a bit detached. I wanted more emotional depth.

  2. Naman Singh

    Loved learning about Begum Akhtar! The book is well-written and engaging. A true celebration of her music and life.

  3. Riya Chopra

    A must-read for anyone interested in Hindustani classical music! Begum Akhtar’s life was extraordinary. Some sections were a little dry though.

  4. Joydeepa Nandy

    I enjoyed learning about Begum Akhtar’s life, but found the book somewhat disjointed. It jumped around chronologically.

  5. Manasi Prabhakar Bele

    A well-researched and informative book. It sheds light on a fascinating artist. Could have used more photos.

  6. Tushar Choudhary

    Akhtari’s story is truly inspiring. The book beautifully captures her struggles and triumphs. Though, the writing style felt a bit academic at times.

  7. Ronit Vinod Peswani

    This book provides a great overview of Akhtari Bai Faizabadi’s journey. It’s a respectful tribute. Rating: I thought it was really great!

  8. Yashwant Kumar Mehta

    A fascinating glimpse into Begum Akhtar’s life. The essays are insightful, but I wished for more personal anecdotes. Overall, a good read for music lovers.

  9. Nitesh Kumar

    An okay book. Not great but not bad either. As a layperson, it was a little intense with its musical concepts.
