Enchanting Venu Flute | Hamsanadam on the Beach | Shashank Subramanyam | Music of India

[@darbarfestival]

If a few brief minutes of Shashank aren't enough…watch his full 90-minute performance from Darbar 2014 in pristine HD on the Darbar Player, along with dozens of other captivating concerts: www.darbarplayer.com/videos/shashank-subramanyum We'd like to upload everything for free - but filming, editing, and hosting cost money, and we’re a small not-for-profit organisation. Signing up to the Darbar Player costs about the same as a couple of coffees a month ($5), which we hope is an excellent price for such a wealth of unique music.

[@Dwarakadishdas]

Superb performance as usual. sound of ocean is doing a thambura's job.

[@kalyanaramanns752]

In Shashank we have the best flautist and what a wonderful Hamsanadam and pulsating swara prastarams. In mridhangam the synchronization of 'meetu' and 'chapu' is absolutley essential and what a wonderful unison . Great kriti

[@shanmugamsubramaniam8652]

Superb music! Darbar, you made the Sunday beautiful for me that too on the beach. Thank you!

[@rkbashal]

He is wonderful....had listen him live a couple of times at Harivallabh sangeet sammelan Jalandhar Punjab :-) always admire Shashank God bleas

[@bhaskartripathi]

He is so fast...superfast machine without any errors. That's a raw youthful talent

[@sivasubra3666]

No question that Shashank has super fast fingers, probably the fastest set of fingers on a flute. He is certainly capable of using his talents wonderfully. This is why I don't get it when he uses some tactics, such as his "tabla" style of fast movements with his right fingers, around the 7 min mark. If you are a flute player, you will know what I am talking about. Basically, in Hamsanadam raga, you only use the right hand fingers (for right-handed players) to produce the Pa and Ma. If you look carefully, the fourth hole from the top is completely open when he resorts to these "tabla" movements. It is impossible to produce Pa and Ma on a flute with this hole open. So what is the point of these movements - to give the impression of extreme speed capability? That is not right.

[@musicstudent5026]

Siva Subra I am a flute student and have followed and even had clarifications regarding the percussion like technique. I was present at his in-depth lecture demonstration at The Music Academy couple of years back where in he demonstrated this technique and spoke at length. Your statement on fourth finger is absolutely incorrect and misleading. If you notice, the Tabla technique as you call it, comes in only when playing the three or four notes on the upper or lower octave namely Sa, Ni, Ri, Ga, and with high intensity blowing technique he can produce the prati madhyamam on the upper octave using the ni fingering. Shashank can also comfortably produce suddha madhyamam using the open ga fingers, a very difficult one to do. Production of these four notes do not need the use of the right hand and is a correct technique.

[@JayanthKulkarni2702]

Please make more of this duo .

[@venugopal9967]

Simply divine.

[@pelathope]

Very beautiful . Thanks. Would be even more so if tambura or Sruti box were to be included. The Sruti is as important as mridangam.

[@ravichandranallan6992]

Pls check description : Young venu maestro Shashank Subramanyam substitutes a tanpura for the sounds of the ocean for an outdoor take of Raga Hamsanadam (‘sound of swans’)

[@ritupabankotoky]

great musician

[@bouquet3216]

Raga - Hamsanadam - see Title

[@francoislamarre4706]

Anybody knows why there's a vibrating, metallic sound sometimes from the right side of the tabla? Never heard this kind of sound before, wonder if it's meant to do that?

[@TheManu9999]

Francois Lamarre - that's not Tabla..that's Mridungam...and you get this vibrating sound in Mridungam

[@anuragsaha9641]

Francois Lamarre That is how it is made to sound like 😇

[@francoislamarre4706]

Thanks! I'm new to indian music and didn't know this instrument :-)

[@anuragsaha9641]

Francois Lamarre this is a mridangam. Google about Indian Classical music, u will get a gist of this vast content is Wikipedia.

[@theresewhichello7150]

It is not a tabla. It is a mridangam. Mridangam head has a more BUZZY sound. It is just the tradition. Tabla buzz means a malfunctioning tabla... but in mridangam this is a perfectly normal and pleasing sound. Cheers.

[@uvaiserahman331]
