Anoushka Shankar e Patricia Kopatchinskaja - Raga Piloo

[@staratlas5826]

Only god knows how much I LOVE Indian traditional music. I traveled to India last year and stayed at a hotel on the bank of Ganga river. Every morning they play Ganga Flute to wake you up. That felt like waking up in the heaven. Please cherish your beautiful heritage and be proud of it, my indian friends. Respect and love from China. (Edit: I’m Chinese but immigrated to Europe.

To fully appreciate this, you need to know its history. In 1966, this was recorded by the greatest Sitarist alive (Ravi, Anoushka’s dad) and greatest Violinist alive (Menuhin). I have listened to that piece several hundred times in the last 14 years. Blew mind to see these women perform this 50 years later, NOTE FOR NOTE. Goosebumps.

It's Pandit Ravi Shankar ji and not Ravi ! In India masters of music are referred to as Pandit or Ustaad which means Master.

[@hj2479]

@@kirtigupta9753 Ravi Shankar was definately a great muscian who brought indian classical music to the mainstream audiance in america and india but he was a flawed man in his personal life who ruined the career of his wife, a musical genius who never performed publically after her disputes with ravi shanker. He also cheated on his wife and then left his child, nora jones, alone. Funny enough nora ended up becoming a successful american singer herself without much support from her father and eventually, she forgave him but to this day she never credits him for any of her musical success because he was never there to support her through it and it was purely a result of her will and her mothers guidance.

So profound to experience his pride in her carrying on his tradition so expertly; she outshone him in virtuosity and as an old man who had helped her have that ability (from genetics to instruction) he seemed very content to be able to basically accompany her and let her shine. He received an extended standing ovation in Seattle's Benaroya Hall (5/14/91).

I'm not sure if they were looking to portray fast music, if so, violin can be played faster than this. It's the essence of the piloo raag itself to be played as if a child is running through a garden behind a butterfly in awe. Once you are immersed in their playing, you hear the child's footsteps through the garden and there's a scenario created in your mind. Props to Pandit Shankar for this composition as well.

sitar is the toughest instrument to play .. it takes years n years of experience . .violin u can excel in 3 to 4 yrs

[@vihanggarud]

@@therockstar5027 Depends on the person picking it up really, I've known people playing violins for 10+ years and still not mastering it. I've known people taking up sitar and mastering it really quickly and vice versa as you've mentioned. You can't categorize an instrument into a specific learning years.

[@mellowmonsoon278]

Not only mastered Indian music but Patricia has even adopted the Indian gestures and head shakes when playing bravo!

Yeah... that's a part of our music 🇮🇳🙏

[@markwilding3828]

Actually, I was thinking the violin part did not really venture outside the discipline of Western musical tradition... which is not to say it did not fully embrace the Indian. I think the composers wrote this in the common ground of both traditions.

In my 55 years as an avid connoisseur of music, I have finally reached the zenith of my listening experience, with the witnessing of this remarkable performance. Congratulations Anoushka, Patricia, Tanmoy and the other members of the ensemble. However, a thumbs down to KZbin, for inconveniently slotting in an ad midstream, to disturb and disrupt the flow of the music.

Love this! Can't get enough. I play tanpura and wonder: why are tanpura players always so staid? I'd be grinning from ear to ear at the sheer brilliance of the latter half of this performance, especially knowing the historical backstory of the raga.
