Epic Sitar in a Thunderstorm | Monsoon Miyan Ki Malhar | Pt Budhaditya Mukherjee | Music of India

[@pratititagore4517]

This is the best rendition of this raag I've heard. It's not just the backdrop noises (thunder + sound of rain falling on concrete), it is also the marvel of the tabla. Mr. Nandy is an absolute genius to 'control' and 'exert' the resonating power of the tabla - how does he do that? And as for Pandit Mukherjee, any superlatives will sound superficial.

[@YourVeggieGuru]

I am listening to this with very expensive studio headphones and a dac/amp. All I can tell you is that I am in heaven listening to the power of nature and power of music together. I love India.

The Monsoon season is meant for listening to Mian ki Malhar. This is an awesome sitar recital by Pandit Budhaditya Mukherjee, recorded in the midst of a thunderstorm, that you can actually see and hear in the background. Never have I seen such a performance. It has to be seen and heard, to be believed. Kudos to Darbar Festival for such a unique recording.

The title should be '' jugalbandhi of human and nature...... "

This kind of job in which you have to depict the nature of monsoon where it is actually happening could only be achieved on sitar by him.

Ended too soon! Nevertheless took a while to return to reality and adjust to the fact that it's not raining in Kolkata where I'm sitting listening to this... Syed Mujtaba Ali, the illustrious Bengali author, related an event involving late Ustad Faiyaz Khan Sahab when they were both in the employment of the Maharaja of Baroda. Paraphrasing from Ali's description: at an evening recital at his house, upon the Ustad's enquiry on what raga to sing next after his initial overture, a rather reticent and reluctant visiting lady ordered "Malhar". Baroda was then passing through a prolonged dry spell. But even as the Ustad was concluding his Malhar khayal, a few drops of rain appeared! However, the Ustad sat quietly through the effusive praise showered upon him by the overwhelmed audience as if it pained him; and after they had all dispersed, diffidently asked his host Ali, "Why do people shame me so? Nature obeys Almighty God alone, what power do mere mortals like me have to command it?" Ali's reply was no less memorable than the occurrence, "I don't claim to know God's ways; but tonight I'm sure He wished to save His servant's honour".

An unexpected tornado turned up, locked in the leafy 300yr old trees on the village green next to my house. It wasn't so much all the roads being blocked with trees (uprooted or twisted off 2m or 3m up their trunks by the violent and insistent force of the wind) that prevented my guests gong home but the fact that both their cars were written off. The tree that flattened one of them landed within less than 1m of the dining room - I had sensed something but the noise of the wind drowned out (!) that of the rain and thunder.

Well, it WAS already storming when they began, so we can't claim the raga brought the rain. But there WERE times when it seems to be a jugalbandi... Great job, all involved. The definitive Miyan Ki Malhar video for certain.

[@KaushikSarkarVer.1.0]

@David Kempton : Dear David...its just a casual reference. Legend / Myth has it that Miyan Tansen brought down stormclouds and rain when he sang Miyan-ki-Mallhar. Of course, it is part of India's 5000 years old heritage. No one takes it literally. Otherwise, we would not be suffering drought year after year. We imbue reality with magical meanings , sometimes. Makes life interesting. Though not rational. However please notice Panditji's gaze at the end of his rendition...at 15:43. It is an inward gaze. Rationality falters here. I get goosebumps at that look, and feel that I am in the presence of something larger. Peace

Hi Partha Duttachowdhury,Thanks for your message - I will share this feedback with our management team :)

[@MK-yg7zf]

This channel is dripping with perfection and creativity. Their intro shots, the setup, the background, everything is as divine as it can be. This performance is a benchmark of classical presentation that many others must follow if classical music is to be preserved. Such innovative and creative techniques that establish the connection of raag with its true environment is pure brilliance. You must notice that I am rambling it is because the thrall of this performance has left me speechless. Hats off to everyone involved in this project especially in this video. A zillion thanks would not be sufficient to praise this legend! God bless each and everyone of you with eternal happiness for providing countless serenity, calm and true aesthete in our lives.

Amazing sitar but the control and perfection of the tabla player is impeccable

[@debashish0612]

At first I paused it twice as I was confused whether it's a storm in my place or in the video. Such natural. The live storm has enhanced the divine music.

Astounding ! Those sounds of thunder and lightnings were natural !!! I am not in a position to comment on the performance of a master musician.

[@mallorga1965]

The music of man and the music of nature blend incredibly well.

[@divyamjain3934]

Out of words. Malhar in a thunderstorm is simply an ethereal experience. The goosebumps just won't settle!

[@Masterstreami]

Thank You so much for sharing this wonderful performance of music and video with thunder and both great artists.

I feeled like being there. A great performance in such a special moment.

[@Rajasaurus]

Definitely the finest Darbar video. This is just unreal. Budhaditya Mukherjee has been one of the finest in this era and he has only gotten better over the years. If you have the right audio set up at home and you listen to this, you might be the luckiest.

Why do we HAVE to hear ADS in the middle of the recital ?DISGYSTING.

[@darbarfestival]

Hi Rituparna Datta Roy, Thank you for your message - I am sorry about the adverts in the video. You see, KZbin adverts help to support our channel and partly fund our production costs. Filming, editing, lighting, sound etc cost a lot of money and we are a small not-for-profit charity with an even smaller team. Please support us by joining our paid services so that we can produce even more content for all of our viewers in the future.

10:58 the composition played by soumen nandy is a composition made by Pt. Shankar Ghosh.

Can we sing raag bhairav or ahir bhairav to produce this feel when we experience a pre dawn rainfall..?

It's like sitar is provoking thunderstorm to be more louder... Really enjoyed this concept. Thanks to Darbar.

This deserves a billion views...the no of views this has....it's depressing
