Violin: Sangita, Ragini and Nandini Shankar
Tanpura: Neela and Rajashri
Rajamji started the performance with rag Jog. Brief alap was followed by bada khyal in vilambit Ektal. The ragavistar consisted of simple, surel and exceptionally beautiful alaps. The play around tar shuddha gandhar was quite remarkable. The taans were simply superb. The effect of well composed and rehersed taans coming from four different violins one after other was awsome. The bada khyal was followed by the famous chhota khyal - sajan more ghar aaye - in madhyalaya Teental. This was followed by a composition in drut Teental.
Rajamji continued the performance with the bhajan payori maine ram ratan dhana payo.
This was followed by the natyageet - ghehi chhand makarand - the dhani version made immortal by Pt. Vasantrao Deshpande (composed by Pt. Jitedra Abhisheki).
On 'one-more' request Rajamji played the natyageet naravara krishnasaman.
Ajit Pathak provided excellent tabla sangat. The solos he played were crisp and tasteful. However I enjoyed his simple madhyalay Teental theka the most.
Overall an an absolutely masterly performance which will stay etched in the memory for ever.
