Sangatkar:
Tabla: Omkar Gulwadi
Harmonium: Avinash Dighe
Pakhawaj: Rajgopal Gosavi
Tanpura: Devavrat Bhatkhande, Nagakiran Naik
Upendraji started his performance with raga Puriya Kalyan (bada khyal
in vilambit Ektaal - aaj so ban, chhota khyal in madhyalaya Teentaal -
bahut din bite bite ajahu na aaye more shyam)
Upendraji's voice was in a great shape right from the start. The
swaralagav was energetic and full throated. I however felt that
vilambit Ektaal lay was a bit faster than the one typically employed
by the Kirana singers. The ragavistar was very systematic, well
planned and succeeded in captivating the audience very quickly. The
tar shadja was power packed and sung very well in eekar as well as
aakar. The laykari was done beautifully. Taans were powerful and
layadar.
Upendraji continued his performance with a lighter piece shyam na
abtak aaye in Mishra Khamaj.
Upendraji concluded his performance with an abhang indrayani kathi
devachi alandi lagali samadhi dnyaneshachi.
Omkar Gulwadi and Avinash Dighe provided excellent tabla and harmonium
sangat. Especially Omkar Gulwadi's laydaar vilmabit theka was superb.
The solo tabla pieces were also very well played.
Overall an excellent performance.
