I deem myself extremely fortunate that 25 years ago (in 1996) I had privilege of listening to this heavenly voice live -- sitting right in front of Vidushi ji (in Dadar cultural center).
begam parween sultana has a very wide range. she can go full three to three and half octaves with great ease. Her voice is very agile and flexible. not many female singers can do this.
I disagree. Her upper range is pure and in perfect pitch. It is not falsetto. This is what she is known for. Her ability to move up and down the scales over 3 1/2 octaves with great ease and facility. In fact, please listen to her interviews where she explains her singing. You will appreciate her even more.
begum parween sultana also has a very high "sur" here, she is singing at "sur" C. Her "sur" is C. Her "sur" is very high. most female singers sing at A, or A sharp. Very few female singers sing at B and even fewer female singers sing at C.
@@sourav-zn9vz that is the reason, Sir, when she sings in higher octaves, it gives a false impression of exquisite and rare range, which is actually not.
