Before starting the performance Panditji said that he would annonce
the name of the raga later. The raga had all shuddha notes except
madhyam which was always teevra. Komal dhaivat showed up quite a bit
(more than shuddha dhaivat). Komal rishabh also made guest appearance
a few times! Pardon me but I could not figure out the aaroha-awaroha.
The raga had a beautiful romantic mood with some haunting touch as
well.
Panditji played alap, jod followed by gat in Jhaptaal in this raga,
the name of which he announced in the end as Latangi!
After this Pandiji played a gat in raga Des set to Teental. Panditji
concluded his performance with a Pahadi dhun in Dadra.
I am a big fan of Panditji and an admirer of his vision of a
performance. He ensures that all members of audience have something
special for them!
Anutosh Deghariya's tabla sangat was very beautiful and admirably
completely devoid of noise and gimicks.
Sunil Avachat provided excellent bansuri support.
Overall a great performance as usual.

So I am not sure where the komal notes came from, these are not part of the raga at all. Could they be just off key notes you heard?
Thanks for the notes, please post more details, if you can.

The komal rishabh as well as shuddha dhaivat appear to have been a case of mistaken identity however komal dhaivat was very much there. In fact I just found Panditji's recording of Latangi featuring the same Jhaptaal gat on the internet at: http://www.raaga.com/play/?id=89885 that also has a prominent komal dhaivat. In fact the sam of the gat is on komal dhaivat. In the recording the raga sounds very much like Puriya Dhanashree with shuddha rishabh. However during the performance Panditji played it quite differently.
ReplyDeleteMy mistake earlier -- Yaman scale with the komal dhaivat in place of shuddh makes it Latangi scale.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Thanks again for the live blogging. Must be hard to do.

Shri Chaurasia playing a Karnatak rAga and expecting Pune audience to guess it was a school teacher act. Hope he sees the point. However, this does not take away anything from his superb rendition. I think Mr.Avchat is a great player in the making.
