Tabla: Ramdas Palsule
Tanpura: Kirti Pandit
Biswajitji started his performance with raga Chhayanat - alap, jod,
jhala and gats (4 of them) in madhyalaya and drut Teental. Biswajitji
played a mandhyalaya composition in Adana on a 'once more' request.
The alaap badhat was unhurried and created very good atmosphere of
Chhayanat. Meend-work was very well done. Noisy parts were kept to a
minimum. However I think Biswajitji needs to pay more attention to
tuning/pitch. Pitch problems which were present throuout but got
blatant in 3rd gat onwards when I think the tara shadja string went
out of tune and did not get corrected till the end of Chhayanat
performance. The last couple of minutes of the gat were noisy and
almost completely besur. But this had the desired effect - big
applause and cheers of 'once more'!
Tar shadja woes continued during Adana...
Ramdas Plalsule provided excellent tabla sangat as usual.
I had better expectations from Biswajitji (especially so since I have
attended a much better performance by him a few months back).
