Free Music Notes for Morning Ragas Bombay 1965
Free Music Review: An entire live concert recording of an incredible performance by Nikhil Banerjee!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a fantastic 2-cd recording of the entirety of a concert by the late, great sitarist Nikhil Banerjee and the late, great tabla player Nikhil Ghosh.
The playing is inspired with spirited improvisations and beautiful compositions set to morning ragas.
The concert starts with alap and jor (solo rhythmless exposition) in raga Bilaskhani Todi and follows with the rare and special tar paran. Tar paran (which means a drum composition played on the string instrument) comes from the ancient dhrupad style and the melodic performer plays in shorter rhythmic phrases which mime the percussionist's patterns. Some sloppy performers today (Shivkumar Sharma and Hariprasad Chaurasia, I'm looking at you, here) goof off with a drummer banging away in what comes off as clumsy jazz and call it tar paran, here we get to hear a bit of what it should sound like.
Next follows an epic slow composition in raga Jogiya Kalingra with tabla accompaniment (with a break when the musicians took a short pause to re-tune their instruments). This is gorgeous playing. A medium composition comes next.
After that is a glorious performance of Raga Bhairavi done in the lighter thumri style that allows the colors of other ragas to come out in the vibrant playing. Every part of this is just breathtaking. This is some of the best Indian Classical music anywhere.
It's a great performance from great artists. You won't be disappointed.
As for the guy who whined about the price--it's a 2cd set, that's why it costs more (and well worth it).
