Learn more about the music:
Ulhas Kashalkar has taken a deep approach to learning. His father was an amateur vocalist and musicologist, and trained his son well enough for him to top Nagpur University’s music course. He went on to train under Ram Marathe and Gajananrao Joshi, eventually mastering the nuances of three gharanas - Agra, Jaipur, and Gwalior. Music critic Prakash Wadhera describes his detailed approach: “He just seems to press one key and out comes a raga in the true Jaipur colours, another to obtain a melody attired in the Agra style and still another to get a raga in the Gwalior habiliments”. Today he is recognised as one of North India’s most accomplished singers, often resurrecting rare ragas from the past. Listen to more of Ulhas here:
-Raag Bhairavi | • Raag Bhairavi | Pandit...
Darbari is described by musicologist Deepak Raja as “the emperor of ragas, and the raga of emperors”. The word ‘darbar’ refers to to the royal courts of past ages, and it is easy to imagine Darbari’s majestic tones echoing across marble floors, bringing solemn relief to kings, diplomats, and warlords. The mood is grave, reverential, and often slow, blending lyrical passages with a precise microtonal geometry. The optional ‘Kanada’ suffix denotes the raga’s likely origins in Carnatic music - some consider it to have been imported North by Mian Tansen in the 16th century.
It uses Asavari thaat [SRgmPdnS], with Re and Pa as the vadi and samvadi [king and queen notes]. Characteristic phrase resolutions include gmR and dnP, and the raga is often elaborated in mandra saptak [low octave]. Musicians often pause on Ga and Dha, ornamenting them with andolit [heavy oscillations]. It resembles the modern Carnatic Raga Natabhairavi, and the Western natural minor scale.

Reminds me of Bhimsen Joshi.

[@kilarvo]

when will upload full concert?????

[@RishabhB]

Could anyone enlighten me on the usage of Shuddha Nishad in Darbari?

[@kalinvstr]

amazing right?

[@RishabhB]

Yeah simply amazing. But is it allowed. Or sung like this by other masters?

[@pulkitsharma097]

Listen to Darbari by Ustad Faiyaz Khan..

[@shashwatpandey1988]

for fun only here nishad is not ati komal and instead is teevra swar like the gandhar in raag miyan malhar. When you are saying that it is an ati komal swar it shoulb be a little bit down from it’s original place. And raag darbari often uses it. Listen to Pt D V Paluskar’s rendition.

[@shashwatpandey1988]

@@RishabhB yes raag darbari and other kanada prkaar raags like suha, sughrai, darbari these raags have a chadhi hui nishad! Which means it has a sharp flat nishad… which means it is neither teevra nor komal swar… Its in the middle

[@gurveersingh7461]

They look like pencil condenser but darbar festival is known to have used schoeps capsule mics, so there is a slight chance they must have used extended bodies for them
