THIS MUSIC IS FROM A DIFFERENT REALM AND TIME . THANK YOU.

[@pgrnair]

I am a person with an eclectic taste in music as I love music of different genres like Jazz, Celtic music, Carnatic, Kathakali songs and Western Classical music. But let me say in all my humility that the musician who has blessed my life forever with his singing is Pandit Mallikarjun Mansur. My adoration of him has no bounds.Not a single day passes without listening to at least one of his songs (my favouites are Gandhari Todi , Shivmat Bhairav and Bahaduri Todi ) .I consider him as one of the greatest vocalists in any language in any part of the world. My imponderable thanks to Naveen for this precious upload. May we discover and share more of his recorded music here for posterity to listen and enjoy.

[@vbdnadoc9818]

Ditto...those that have this sort of treasure must share - thanks very much indeed for posting. I have been fortunate to have heard him live several times and met with him at his last NCPA concert in Bombay possibly a year before he passed

[@WarrenSenders]

Bua's musicianship kept becoming more heartfelt and profound, even as his age increased. I am exceedingly fortunate to have heard him in person three times.

[@shaileshkahalekar1259]

You also sing well. Ihave heard you on KZbin. God bless you Warren

First kalidas was given to Shri mallikarjun mansur.he was from dharwad karnataka.was very famous personality of classical music.

[@sanjeevdharma2492]

Kalidas award.

[@hemantghayal7709]

The first bandish is penned by Alladiya Khan. When Mallikarjun Mansur sings bihagda he sings to his gurus. That is why it becomes so touching to our hearts. He repays his debts to them through it. And he has done it to the fullest extent.

[@akakirde9452]

I thought that was traditional? Edit: the bihagda is a bandish that comes from haveli sangeet transformed by alladiya khan

[@biswa61BangalirPranBangalirMon]

I consider it a great privilege to have watched it.....After near-fatal ailment that Panditji had, he performed at several concerts before his demise after 6 months. The one at Delhi is considered as his last by many. The great man shows no signs of fatigue, and full of vigour and vitality. Million thanks Naveen for such wonderful treat.

[@harshad6489]

Superb. Panditji's continuity at the age of 81 is unbelievable. Thanks Naveenji for sharing this rare live recording of Panditji.

[@devanshphadke]

I belong to that unfortunate generation who could never see and hear Mansur live. But these are those short takes which I can take with me ahead where I can experience Mansur, be it through my screen..

[@hemantghayal7709]

This is divine music of India for you. Honed over the millenniums, nurtured by great masters, passed though the generations by their pupils, and presented to the listener in its purest form. The singer is singing a composition by his Gurus guru. His pouring his soul out and invoking the supreme being with in which he has now assimilated. Just put your headphones on, and travel with the way he takes you over the swing.

[@Kajarari_akhiyaan]

Simply Divine!🕉🙏 Mansurji singing at this age, what else is miracle in life?❤

[@amarkarandikar1257]

Pt Mallikarjun the vocalist of the era with super power of directly entering in to one's heart. Even the toughest person would melt with his renderations

[@hemantghayal7709]

I have absolute zero knowledge of classical music but have listened to several renditions by great artists on the KZbin. Panditji's rendition brings tears to my eyes. A great Naad emanates from his rendition which resonates in ears.. Not experienced this with anyone else. I think he communicates directly with god through his music. It comes to you like waves of sea which come to the shore continuously.

[@MrBheemaraodesai]

Absolutely true!

[@dalbir10sohal]

He was encyclopedia of Indian ragas. Often he performed rare ragas of Indian classical music . Thanks for sharing this video.

[@deepakraag]

A most wonderful and powerful Bihagra. Ethereal to the end. He never once (in my experience of his music) slipped into the chasm of besur from cradle to grave.

[@mihirjha8465]

Naveen ji, I can't thank you enough!! Panditji, as usual, is absolutely brilliant despite his age. The video itself has historical value for Hindustani music lovers!! For those interested the raags are - Bihaagdaa, Natbihag, Sorath, Nayaki Kanada. These are followed by a vachana, Bhairavi Tappa (very rare) and last is a thumri (again very rare).

[@kvsvinay1044]

It's a big regret of mine to not have heard this legend live. The beautiful recording of a concert in such a closed setting with some brilliant camera work has brought me as close as one can be to live. Thanks so much for sharing the gem and making the experience possible. Sheer bliss to hear and joy to watch.

[@k.sangameshwar4534]

Yes, it is also my greatest regret that I have not heard Pandit Mallikarjun Mansurji live in concert in my lifetime. However thanks to technology and recordings like these, we are able to hear his divine and sublime music! A Musician's Musician! A once in a lifetime musician! He lives on through his immortal music!

[@mrigendraindi6394]

Ì too regret that I could not hear his singing in person. But I listen his recordings and videos regularly every day. Thank you for your valuable help!

[@RAVINDRA94900]

I have been listening to his soulful gayaki for many years, it is a great pleasure to listen raag Bihagda again.Wonderful.

[@ckajxyzpqrstuvw757]

Just wonderful and years of tireless riyaaz and complete surrender to raags, you can not find besur since he was a young singer. With age his singing reached new heights everyday, from chandan to kundan

[@sanyog6]

Our generation is really blessed. We could listen to these legends live. He is one of a kind. His simplicity his devotion to music and a very unique and exclusive style of singing. Thank you Naveenji for uploading this masterpiece and rare clipping. I will remain obliged

[@harishchinai938]

The King of Hindustani Classical Music, incomparable performance at his age. His musicianship, profound vocal control, versatility is sorely missed and I only wish he had prepared a worthy successor. I can't stop listening to him.

[@autobotftwww]

+Harish Chinai Mallikarjun Mansur had at least two disciples who were more than ordinary. One is Panchakshari Mattigatti, you can listen to a couple of clips of his on youtube. The other is Sidharam Jambaladini, his main disciple. AIR supposedly released two of his khayal performances from its archives but I have not encountered them. You can find some vachana recordings of him with Mallikarjun Mansur more easily on the internet but its still a trial. Mattigatti is a good performer, I have not heard enough to call him great but he brings a unique musicality to Mansurs particular (and wonderful) take on Jaipur-Atrauli gayaki. At any rate he is a thousand times better than Rajshekhar Mansur, who should restrict himself to teaching this art.

[@harishchinai938]

Thank you for the names of panditji's shishyas

[@harishchinai938]

+autobotftwww Panchakshari Mattigatti passed away in 2013 at the age of 86. I am now listening to his youtube recording of Raag Shukla Bilawal which Mansurji also sed to sing often.

[@autobotftwww]

Yeah the radio recording of Shukla Bilawal by Panchakshari Mattigatti on youtube is very good. There is also a great full length Yamani Bilawal where he sounds a lot like Mansur-ji. On Rajan Parrikars website (you can google it) there is a further perforance sample of Mudriki Kanada that you cant find anywhere else; hope that helps.

The last second recital is a Kannada folk song, the mother tongue of Panditji.

[@Adyjetu]

Prajwal B M it's vachana of akka mahadevi , not folk song

[@prajwalbm132]

Adarsh Prakash I know...but the song has become so popular in Karnataka that it's been considered as a part of folklore too.... But, it indeed is a composition of Akka Mahadevi, a great vachanagaarti
