59th Sawai: Shri. Kartik Sheshadri (sitar)

Sangat:
Tabla: Yogesh Samsi
Tanpura: Rajashri Mahajani

Kartikji began his performance with raga Hamsakankini. The alap was leisurely and developed the raga beautifully (n S G M P n S - S n D P M g R S). The jod and jhala was surel and laydar. The gat, Kartiji's own composition, was set to Char Taal Ki Sawari a taal of 11 beats.

Kartikji continued his performance with raga Simhendramadhyamam. Brief alap was followed by a gat in vilambit Teental. This was followed by a gat in drut Ektal. Both the gats were Kartikji's own compositions.
Yogesh Samsi provided excellent tabla sangat. The tabla solos and jugalbandi pieces were crisp and played tastefully.

Overall a very surel and beautiful performance.
