Pt. Venkatesh Kumar: Raag Durga 

Well said

My

true.

Taking nothing away from Pandit Kumarji, but I believe Pt. Rajan & Sajan Mishraji's rendition is certainly on par if not a tad more sophisticated considering the duo are and have to stay in unison/sync across most of the period.

Kya gehra anuvad

पहाडी आवाज पण सुमधुर. मी पण कित्येक वेळा ऐकत असतो पण मन तृप्त होत नाही. गुरुजींना साष्टांग नमस्कार. याना दीर्घायुष्य लाभो.

Hi, we are so glad that this music made you feel so deeply. We believe this is what this music is designed to do, that is , move the listener on an emotional and intellectual level. Our channel has a plethora of videos in the same genre by many other great Indian artistes that you should also check out. One in particular comes to mind - click on the following link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jG21qUpkfUI.html. This video is of a style of music called "Dhrupad", which is considered to be the root form of most Indian classical music. This form does not lay much emphasis on the "lyrics" but concerns itself more with the "sound" of the notes and how they are presented. A point to consider is that this form requires a lot of patience on the part of the listener since it takes time to build up. But patience is greatly rewarded. Hope you like it.

Good..Try to cultivate your interest.

Thank you Anuradha. I definitely am. I am finding the path to bring me toward deep peace and happiness :)

No. I received my doctorate degree in 2005.

It gives really peace of mind listening to Indian Classical Music.

I'm new to this music style. Kindly help me with more such amazing singer names and concert links. :)

@@Aravind-xm7gg you can hear ustad rashid khan and vidushi kaushiki charkrborty as well pt. Ajoy charakborty , ustad bade ghulam ali khan.

@@tanmay4516 your taste just amazed me

His mastery is on par with Bhimsenji

You said exactly what I think. I felt Pt Jasraj was best but now that he is gone this is the guy I listen closely to

+Shivananda Prabhu Yesterday the great Pt VK performed at Kamani Auditorium Delhi. Sadly many people left after Kaushiki Chakraborty's performance in the first half. But I am sure those who remained were lucky and will spread the fame . Looking forward to next rendition. Feel blessed.

+Santanu Basu Kaushiki is much crap.. same old srgm singing. You can clap only so much for singing fast srgms.

Ravindra Saraf

Excellent rendering of Raga Durga

Ravindra Saraf - but what to say about Panditji... every time he sings even if the raag is same,the presentation LL be be quite new with much analysis

I have the same experience with my 1.5 year old! She has been responding to his music since she was a baby :)

Great music .Great sweet voice.

Those interested in raga durga, do also listen to Malini Rajurkar's raga durga. Similar enchanting experience.

Just adding some more names. BasavaRaj Rajguru, Gangubai Hangal, Kumar Gandharva.👍

Yes all diamonds from my place DHARWAD

Perhaps they didn't get that linguistical rhymes and rhythms ! Music runs through linguistic order hence it's appreciational comprehension

Aap log bhi thora practice korie . Salamat saheb ka baad koi bhi dikhai nehi De raha hai

Sabse badi duvidha ye hain ki ye hamare hi bhai behen h convert ke product... aajao umaid ghr wapas tumare abbu ke abbu ke abbu ka naam jayshankar hoga...unke gale main talwar laga ke unhe convert kara hoga ya fir tumari ammi ke ammi ke ammi ka naam seema hoga use gale main talwar rakh ke salma banaya hoga....tum usi ka product ho... lelo badla in muslim se aajao ghr wapas...lelo badla apne great grand mother and father pe hue zulmo ka... tum wapas se hindu kehlaoge tabhi to badla poora hoga.... chaho to dna test kara lo...sab clear samajh aa jaega tumhe bhai....aajao deewali manaenge holi maker sankranti manaenge wahi sanatan hamara asli dharm tha...4-5 generation pehle sab badal dia gaya ..ab to sachhai tumhe pata aajao krishna ke pass wapas

Entrancing.

This is divine absolute

Clean and disciplined, yes, exactly so.

Your videos of M.S. Subbulakshmi are the best. I love your channel.

Same here

Raga Durga by Ustad Fateh Ali is equally mesmerizing

Also do listen to some carnatic version of Durga raag by Sri Malladi brothers equally if not amazing its just brought out marvellously

fully agree with you...raag it self is lillting and venkteshkumars matured voice makes it more pleasnt

I , a person who does not understand anything in music , could make out that each Swara is beautifully Crystal clear , neatly woven together and soothing . Frankly , have no words to describe the pleasure it yields.

The handling of Swaras by Pt Venkatesh ji is like the surefootedness of Mountain goats

Superb superb superb singing, Sir

Its strong positive and spiritual soo.. right

+Alur Nataraj Sir, he is not Kannadiga any more. He belongs to all of us. What a talent ! Humility personified !

+Santanu Basu I agree with your sentiments. I was over enthusiastic. But he is a kannadiga. He belongs to all.

good

I am Bengali 😊😊still i feel proud that we are both Indians.After pdt Bhim Sen Joshi he made his place in musical horizon.

As a carnatic listener I rarely hear Hindusthani but such renditions are truly worth in a million ways .

Really beautifu0l.

+sumit mitra Being from Kolkata ourselves, we absolutely know how receptive and appreciative of hindustani classical music the people of Kolkata are. If you liked this video, please also check out three other videos with Panditji that we have shot and uploaded on our RU-vid First Edition Arts channel. You will also find high quality performance videos by other great musicians like Ashwini Bhide Deshpande, Vijaya Jadhav Gatlewar and Uday Bhawalkar along with younger artistes like Kumar Mardur and Shashwati Mandal. Some more videos by the outstanding Ulhas Kashalkar are coming to our RU-vid channel soon. Watch this space.

we are grateful for the uploads. many thanks

+First Edition Arts Channel what are the names of the other videos of Venkatesh Kumar ji

@@FirstEditionArtsChannel Uday Bhawalkar & Kumar Mardur is also my very favourite. I had the opportunity to listen them at RKMission Institute of Culture & ITC . Please also upload some videos of Jayteerth Mevundi

You're right, Harnarain Sarda; their body language adds value to their skill in a manner that forces one to visit over and over again, their programs on youtube

Really art of contoling voice and and singing pk

👏👏👏👏👏👏👣👣👣👣👣🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Don't forget Mallikarjun Mansur and Gangubhai Hangal

hello Sir , I am in USA, how do I get panditji's CDs. can you please enquire and let us know? thanks a lot.

He has released only 4 classical music CDs, rest of them are devotional; all of them by Sagar music. Each CD has 2-3 ragas, extremely high quality music. You can buy them at www.amazon.in/M-Venkatesh-Kumar/dp/B00IA0AX7M. If you go down to "Frequently Bought Together" section you will see other 3 CDs. For some reason, not much of his music is released on CDs, probably because he is too shy. I have searched all over for his CDs and I could find only these 4. I love them so much that I have bought 2 copies of each of them, just in case if one gets ruined.
