The Gurus of Bandish – Pandit Bhimsen Joshi – LIVE
The most widely accepted variety of Hindustani Classical Music today is called “Khayal”. Over the past fifty years, Khayal has steadily gained popularity in comparison with ‘Dhrupad’, a form with simple grandeur and lack of embellishments. Khayal, with its flexibility and ability to incorporate musical ornamentations, has effectively regaled the new listeners of Indian Classical Music, the middle and upper middle class. “Khayal” being the most popular and flexible form of Classical music rendition in India has to be presented in a concise form without interfering with their mood and content. Here is a collection of personally selected “Bandishes” for renditions from the rich and endless reservoir of compositions, which is presented by some of the most accomplished vocalists of our times.
Pandit Bhimsen Joshi : Bhimsen Joshi has few equals in his field-be it in terms of popularity or deft renditions of difficult passages. By now, he may well have given concerts that have exceeded the five-figure mark if we go by the ‘modest’ guess-work of a few Bhimsen-watchers. His phenomenal professional career, spanning almost six decades, convincingly shows that he has done something much more than fulfilling the hopes and expectations raised by him in the early forties. It is also equally undeniable, that in the course of his fantastic climb to greater and still greater heights, his approach to raga music has undergone many significant changes.
