58th Sawai: Smt. Malini Rajurkar (Vocal)

Main Artist: Smt. Malini Rajurkar (Vocal)
Sangatkar:
Tabla: Bharat Kamat
Harmonium: Dr. Arvind Thatte

Malinitai started her performance with raga Kaushik Ranjani (bada
khyal in vilambit Ektaal - eri mayi piya parades gavan kina, chhota
khyal in madhyalaya Teentaal - barakha ritu baran hamari re)

I am great admirer of Malinitai's singing and her style of
performance. Today she started with a brief alap followed by the
heartbreaking sam on tar Shadja. And things only got better after
that. As always the ragavistar was desciplined and made up of
energetic alapi with each avartan building up like a wave at the
seashore and coming down with a big splash at the sam. The taans were
packed with power.

Malinitai continued with a tappa in Bhairavi - chandra jahanuwe dil
tujhe kari sanyahu salu mukhada. This tappa also had the sam on tar
shadja - sung to perfection by Malinitai. Malinitai concluded the
performance with sargam S d P d M P g M in drut Teentaal.

Dr. Arvind Thatte and Bharat Kamat provided excellent harmonium and
tabla sangat.

Overall it was yet another great performance by a great artist.
