Chandrashekharji started his concert with raga Marwa (khyal in
vilambit Ektal - piya more anant, madhyalaya Teental bandish - sun sun
batiya sagari ratiya). This was followed by an abhang - adhi ka maja
laviyali savaya ata na rahave tujavin. The bhajan made famous by Pt.
Phiroj Dastur (Chandrashekharji's guru) gopala meri karuna kyon nahi
ave was interspersed in the abhang. On a 'one more' request he sang
the Jogiya thumri piya ke milan ki aas.
Chandrashekharji has a powerful voice and he uses it very well by
singing in a full throated manner. Right from the start he captivated
the audiance with aggressive swara lagav well suited for Marwa. The
swara vistar was systematic. Tara shadja and the antara alaps were
very impressive and full of punch. Taans were crisp, well rehersed and
power packed.
The abhang, bhajan and thumri were also very well sung. The standard
set by Marwa was maintained throuout the performance.
Bharat Kamat's tabla accompaniment deserves a special mention.
Especially the layakari during the bada khyal taans on the dhala tabla
was simply superb. Suyog Kundalkar provided very good harmonium
sangat.
Overall an outstanding performance.

ReplyDeleteYes, it was a really good performance. I recently attended one more concert by Chandrashekhar Vaze. He sang Madhuvanti, Durga, Marubihag, a natyageet, a bandish in Malkauns, the same abhang that he sang at Sawai followed by Bhairavi. This was also good but I think he sang better at Sawai.
ReplyDeletePt Chandrashekar Vaze bhajan at Ganapatipule in Dec 2013 was amazing. Would love to listen to it again.Please share it if anyone has a recording.
