Rabindra Sangeet
They played Je Raate Mor Duaarguli on Worldspace early this morning, which made me want to see the song from Megha Dhaka Tara once again. Here it is.

Here is Akash Bhora from Ghatak’s Komal Gandhar. Full of glorious light and open space, it’s a contrast from the heartbreaking stillness of the song from Megha Dhaka Tara. Both songs were sung by Debabrata Biswas for Anil Chatterjee. (In Manna Dey’s autobiography, which I read recently, Dey describes Debabrata Biswas’s renditions of Rabindra Sangeet as “perhaps the best possible tribute one could have paid the poet”).
Here is a version of Je Raate Mor Duaarguli sung by Hemanta Mukherjee.
Here are two Tagore songs from Satyajit Ray, both sung by Kishore Kumar for Soumitra Chatterjee: Ami Chini Go Chini Tomare Ogo Bideshini sung by Amal in Charulata, and Bidhir Badhon Katbe Tumi sung by the revolutionary Sandip in Ghare Baire.
