Mr Kumar singing this song in the Temple of pure Pitch, I really love it, My humble request please put the volumes down only very little bit of your accompanies Artistries
Wish Ustad Faiyaz's trust all success. Very happy to see that Pandit Venkatesh Kumar is using Sarangi accompaniment which is always such a lovely complement to the vocal singing and such a refreshing contrast to the Harmonium which B V Keskar wanted to ban on AIR in the old days).
Beautiful presentation of my most favourite raga-the Sarangi is such a natural complement to the voice and is such a difficult instrument to play-it most certainly deserves the place it has-Ustad Sarwar Hussain is a very sensitive and brilliant accompanist-Pandit ji's gayaki is spectacular and is such a magnificent template in the heavens to aim for!!
Thank you Purnabhat for this video. My sincere condolences to Faiyaz saheb on his loss. May her soul rest in peace. I have no doubt that this trust that Faiyaz Saheb's has initiated in his wife's memory will bring her, and music lovers all over, peace and tranquility, of which there is much need. The music in this video does just that.
With due respect to the Sarangi player, this rendition turns out to be more like a Jugalbandi rather than a solo performance by Venkateshwar Kumar ji !! If the Instrumentalist feels that he is good enough to host a solo performance, he should have done so !! Courtesy demands that an accompanying artist remains so and nothing more !!!
Publishers must know what to write in the liner notes and apportion space according to the music featured. In the present case more has been said about the sarangi player than about the vocalist. A clear case of emphasis in the wrong place.
The vilambit is based on the 48 beats cycle of Ektaal (12 beats when played in the normal tempo) and the drut khayal is in teen taal, a 16 beats cycle.
Also Sarangi is not as seamless as perhaps `Baaja Peti'. Intrusive is'nt it. Great cause otherwise by Ustad in memory of his beloved. Greater than perhaps Shahjehan! Perptuation of an institution'
That sarangi was such an unnecessary addition. That guy is good only for solo concerts and never for accompanying. Too slow in catching up, loud and coming in between the vocalist the audience with his pretty little bowing. Absolutely unnecessary addition.
