Abhishek Borkar: Raag Bhimpalas

Abhishek Borkar was the first featured artiste on Day One of the FEA-curated CROSSROADS festival. He opened his recital with Raag Bhimpalasi. He was accompanied by Pt. Arvind Azad on tabla. Tanpura support was provided by Siddharth Shukla.

Fallen in love with this amazing rendition of Raag Bhimpalasi. Indian Classical Music is safe and will prosper in the hands of new generation of musicians like you.

[@CulturalCrusader]

Maihar, Baba Alauddin, Ali Akbar's influence all over - similar mastery, depth, diversity, approach and wholesomeness. Finally someone to look forward to see blossom. Carry on Abhishek, this rich tradition. Far far superior than the glamorous, star sarod kids, how rigorous taalim makes such a difference.

[@shellyspiano]

I LOVE the way Abhishek Borkar plays the sarod - from his soul!

[@rezeski]

wow. really well done. No doubt one of the best young sarod talents. bravo. clean. precise, and perfect. yet, perfectly spiritual.

[@vintom6440]

Wow, so beautifully played by both artists. They totally surrendered to Bhimpalas Raga. Loved that.

[@doctor_beat]

😭 so deep and absolutely beautiful Thank you🙏

[@sahajwilliams4575]

No doubt Abhishek is going to be one of the giants of classical music. So much soul in his playing.

[@desairajtube]

A very beautiful performance....touching my soul. I am just listening to it everywhere ...home...office and car...and even when I stop listening, it plays in my head!

[@bhimpalas]

Pure bliss in true Maihar tradition. The future of classical music is in the right hands, unlike some of the big names in 2nd generation who are simply playing to the gallery and ruining the soul of this music. Excellent audio and video recording gives us an enhanced experience of being there. Bravo Abhishekji!

[@sanc0405]

After a long time got this opportunity to listen to Raag Bhimpalasi in its Shuddha Bhav, which in my understanding Devotion, Meditation, Prayer and Spiritual Bliss. Thank you Abhishek Borkar for bringing out the true spirit of Bhimpalasi. God Bless You.

[@kamalbiswas658]

The performance of Sri Borkar is so sweet to remember for years.The depth of his music has great influence of Baba Ali Akbar khan. As a whole it is wonderful.

[@parthasbanerjee7813]

Abhishek ji , splendid touch with variations at its best. God bless you. The raga could have not been elaborated better.

[@govindarajulu-kasturi9614]

[@ishaanbhatia092]

Beautiful mellifluous Bhimpalasi! Want to understand, in the vilambit portion is the artist employing a bada khayal structure?

[@BhargavPurohitoikonomia]

Such a serene experience. It is like a tranquil pond. No words to express the experience. Pt.Arvind Azad too so good.

[@umehta1954]

Arvind ji aapka tau jawab hi nahi, BOHAT ACHHE JI.

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@mr.abhishekdeshpande3373]

Unbelievable

[@paragagarkar9210]

Awesome

[@user-zg6eu7qb5j]

I think tabla is a bit sharper than the tonic B (Sa).

[@anandkhadilkar9077]

Apratim

[@bhagwatmahesh1]

Sarod, simply awesome

[@gauravbabar423]

Sangeet Samaadhi

[@vedgupta7611]

There is definately a sound and understanding issue with tabla in otherwise a flawless sarod recital.

[@umangmishra7241]

He looks like Ali Fazal, an Indian actor

[@bhagwatmahesh1]

Tabla around 1600- 1800 was off tune actually. I only heard as much. Probably so for the entire co cert

[@r.c.g8272]

Azad is one show off! But boy can he play!

[@atiqnikzad2768]

Wah, Abhishek Wah, great ! I enjoy it. God bless you. Next time please choose a saahti tabla player. He is not accompanying you, he plays just for himself.

[@sourabhgulavani8394]

Atiq Nikzad LoL you don’t know what you’re saying

[@TheBalaiyer]

Perfectly said

[@VithalNadkarni]

Ha ha surely you are joking ! He is absolutely wonderful.

[@udaybhanughosh2846]

What an amazing performance. May continue and we may listen more and more.

[@muskanbakes]

Amazing sarod but Tabla kept on bothering me. Not so good sangat.

[@pilso1]

Me also, table is to loud.

[@CulturalCrusader]

May be an issue with sound mixing that the tabla seems more intrusive and loud.

[@guitarjoey]

Tabla over-amplified in the beginning but seems like volume was adjusted.

[@shellyspiano]

@@guitarjoey Mostly, yes, and it did detract from the overall quality of the music

[@mrinalmukherjee232]

Pls note that now a days tabla is not only for accompanyment.....tabalia is also a performer to the crowd .. He is paly8ng pure banaras gharana and perfect sangat... but i agree that the table mike was a bit louder..

[@thethirdeyepresentations5154]

Undoughtately fine playing in sur/laya/ragdaari.....but sorry to say can't find maihar seniya gharana style( if he claim that) ...but almost style and influenced by Ustad Amjad Ali Khan Sahib

[@sahajwilliams4575]

He plays a style called Tarankar Baaj developed by his father Pt. Shekhar Borkar.

[@sunirmaldas8023]

Tabla player is showing off...

[@dileepkinikar6359]

An otherwise beautiful rendering of the Sarod has been thoroughly -sabotaged by the Tabala firstly not being proprly tuned and secondly by by the tabalji virtually being -literally on his own.. AN accompanying artist has to be complementing the main artist.. and not try and display his prowess out of turn !!

[@sanjaychakravarty5272]
