Tabla: Satyajit Talwalkar
Harmonium: Mukund Petkar
Mridangam: Shridhar Parthasarathi
Tanpura/Vocal Support: Ratan Mohan Sharma, Ankita Joshi, Suresh Patki,
Simantini Thakar
Panditji started his performance with raga Darbari (bada khyal in
vilambit Ektaal - jai jai shree durge, chhota khyal in madhyalaya
Teentaal - ajab teri duniya malik).
While it took a few minutes of initial singing mixed with mic related
issues for Panditji's voice to warm up, after that it was a treat to
ears as usual. That too with impeccable range of kharaj to tar tar
shadja! The meends were at their silky best. I especially love
Panditji's arohi approach to the komal gandhar in Darbari.
During the madhyalaya Teentaal bandish there was a small jugalbandi
between Satyajit Talwalkar and Parthasarathy. This was quite well done
and did not disturb the mood of the raga.
Panditji continued his performance with raga Bahar (bandish in Teental
- kaliyan chitak chitak naye naye ras).
Panditji followed this with a bhajan om namo bhgawate vasudevay.
Mukund Petkar on harmonium, Satyajit Talwalkar on tabla and
Parthaasarathi on mridangam provided good sangat.
Overall yet another performance that will stay in the mind for a long time.

ReplyDeleteIt's a pleasure to read about the great Sangeet Martand. What a great musician! He visited our town (USA) last year and sang Darbari Kanada - simply put, he converts the concert hall into a universal temple. I was blessed to be there.
