Subscribe to The Kennedy Center! bit.ly/2gNFrtb Creative pianist Utsav Lal delves into the soulful depths of Indian ragas in a distinctive, unapologetically original take on piano and Indian classical music.
I had never heard Indian ragas on a piano until last night when I watched a Michael Portillo documentary about the British Raj. It's a wonderful fusion of eastern and western sound.
I have had a piano lingering in my room going unused for quite some time now. Being a big fan of Classical Indian Music (Sitar and tabla my favorites, but Santoor and vocals of course). I never knew the piano could be played in this delicate delicious way. But I still prefer the Sitar but this was a very good and interesting experiment. I think it's great for a complete amateur like me to induce me to practice the piano again.
I get the same feeeling when i listen to western music , or jazz .. difficult to understand 😂… but Raagas are much familiar and was wondering if i can play such a soft music on my piano . I got my answer today . Everything is possible .
@@sarthakharuray8151 to beb honest, as a kid I used to always get confused between the two. that's because both the raags give out the same mood, don't know how ...
Sooooooper ... thank you for this ... next performance please try to add a percussionist ... it will add sooooo much more to your superb talent. OUR BEST WISHES TO YOU.
Wonderful playing, very demonstrative of the free flowing nature of ragas. But I think it could've been a little less impressionistic and more classical/well-structured!
I am a total newbie just got a keyboard as a first toward learning music. So not qualified to comment on the video. I just realized I got my first step wrong. I should have gone to the ENT doctor had my ears checked first
I mean gamakas are amazing and I incorporate it a lot on sitar but thinking about an instrument like the santoor shows how you can perform amazing renditions of ragas with only fixed notes
I did not liked it. But for me,classical piano is more boring... If this guy would at least change chords(I now,that it would be not raga) I would like his performace.
