Satyasheelji started his performance with raga Jaijaiwanti (khyal in
vilambit Ektal - mathe jade chanda, bandish in Teental ye mai layee
sera banara?, bandish in drut Ektal - bairan jagi).
Though very tuneful and systematic I found the bada khyal somewhat
boring and lacking in power that is expected of Satyasheelji's
performance. The taans brought some life in the performance but just
after a couple of them Satyasheelji switched over to Teental bandish -
a beautiful one. Here again Satyasheelji quickly switched over to
another bandish - again a very beautiful one. Unfortunately the
singing of drut bandishes also was lacking in punch.
Satyasheelji presented a bandish in Darbari - nain so nain milahi
rahungi. He narrated a story about his guru Pt. Kumar Gangharva
discussing the need to also have the ability to present Darbari in a
somewhat lighter mood. He continued Darbari with a tarana in drut
Ektal. In my opinion Darbari fared much better than Jaijaiwanti.
After this Satyasheelji sang a beautiful bandish in Gaud Malhar (sawan
me ban me) citing it as an example of a bandish with a short mukhada.
This was sung really well.
Satyasheelji sang a nirguni bhajan jauji jaui duje ke sang nahi jauji.
Extremely well sung I must add.
All the sangatkars provided good support.
Overall a good performance.
