Tabla: Ramdas Palsule
Shahidji started the concert with raga Nata Bhairav (alap, jod, jhala,
gat in vilambit Teental, gat in Rupak and a gat in drut Teental). This
was followed by a dhun in Dadra (in Mishra Mand? - this was not
announced and there was a real lot of Mishra element). On a 'once
more' Ustadji played one more dhun in Dadra (again Mishra Mand?)
The alap was played very beautifully. The meend work was exquisit.
Shahidji ensured that the subtle beauty of every note in Nata Bhairav
got conveyed in the alap. The jod were sublime, jhala simple and
controlled. The layakari during gats was well thought. The fast taans
were crisp.
Ramdasji's solo pieces were well executed and consistent with the mood
of the raga.
Throughout the performance great care was taken to ensure correctness
of tonal quality and tuning. This ensured that even the atidrut
Teental jhala (short and controlled) sounded beautiful and surel.
I also enjoyed the dhun emmensely. It was played with a soft touch and
souded very sweet. This also got a big applause and a 'once more'. I
also liked the 2nd dhun which I found quite similar to the first one.
Overall a superb performance! Kya baat hai!
