Best Voice.No.of Occasion In Mumbai I Heard Her.Best Voice.

[@hemantghayal7709]

Absolutely beautiful. While listening one just ends up in joining them and giving DAAD on SAM. She is today the torchbearer of Jaipur Atrauli gharana after the demise of Kishoritai and Dhondutai.

divinity in voice....tears in my eyes...

[@craiglistacct9070]

superb exposition of rag. Great performance

[@r8rdarklord]

Superlative interpretations of Rag Todi. In sections of Bada Khayal, there were shades of Pandit Malikarjun Mansur's style. Very happy to hear the pure Jaipur Atraulli style.

A trick: watch movies on flixzone. Been using them for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.

[@wellsmemphis8170]

@Kingston Jensen Definitely, have been using flixzone} for months myself =)

[@ronakbhadra6400]

Her voice and singing reminds me of Kishori Amonkar...🙏❤

[@bhaibharatsir7861]

Simply makes you feel the amazing depth of todi

[@hemantghayal7709]

It just gives unlimited possibilities to the singer and joys to the listener.

[@ananthombali3805]

[@meghi1980]

Beautiful singing Manjari tai! Loved the aakar!

[@arundabir1376]

Divine, Manjiri! Hope, many-many more such masterpieces from you will be available free on KZbin. That will provide Indian Classical Music, it's rightful place in the music field. Your existing series, with demonstrations of various rare ragas, will serve as the next step.

[@harshchandrabhavsar4790]

Most of the people don't know the level of Sudhirji. It is good luck that Shrutiji got such a nice accompaniment of Harmonium by Sudhirji!

[@bhushangode4667]

Utpal duttaji ,Aap ka tabla accurate sure me hai . Bahot badhiya.

ताई, कगुप छान म्हणताय,आम्हाला डिप्लोमाला हीच चीज होती.रावीराज दामले ची मी आई

[@darshandantkale6433]

There is some problem in the mike, 😣

[@harshchandrabhavsar4790]

Sorry I forgot. It was Ajayji not Sudhirji.

[@aravkris318]

Beautiful singing, but the sound of the harmonium is such a turnoff. Why do people use harmonium as an accompaniment when the sarangi is there..Can anyone suggest good recordings with sarangi as the accompaniment.

[@FirstEditionArtsChannel]

You can check out the videos with Pt. Narayanrao Bodas and Pt. Kedar Bodas on the First Edition Arts KZbin channel where they have used the sarangi as the accompanying instrument.

[@prasenjitduara686]

Sarangi players are hard to come by these days. Also many singers like the fixed notes of the harmonium, perhaps because they can judge their divergence form the note. Anyway, someone should invent a better sounding harmonium.

[@arundabir1376]

Listen to Bhimsen Joshi's Todi, one with Sarangi accompaniment, available on KZbin.

[@shahvivek]

Tabla is out of tune. Its half a pitch higher than what's needed. Manjiri's singing is great as always.

[@NicholasKlacsanzkyICM]

It is a little high, but I think it mostly the audio. There was some feedback, and the levels were not mixed properly.

[@ajayhegde9875]

Problem in audio balancing, Matalic sound coming from tabla So, feels like little higher.

[@vinaybeenu2031]

no improvisation....not up to the mark....

[@r8rdarklord]

What are you talking? This is an amazingly pure recitation of Todi. The ornamentations is so varied and exact it takes one's breath away.

[@boneyboneybali9270]

Vinay Beenu aap gaake batao zara ki up to the mark Todi kaise gaya jaata hai!!

[@shripadjoshi3159]

Vinay Beenu Do you really know the Todi?

[@rupeshshindeofficial7180]

@@boneyboneybali9270 As a listener everybody has the right to say few words we cannot deny their thoughts only because artist is great or respected. A true listener always put up his words with due respect to the artist.

[@rupeshshindeofficial7180]

If we listen this of किशोरीताई 😍 o my god it's like who we are to appreciate. We just have to surrender.
