Pt Bhimsen Joshi- Raag Malkauns with Appa Saheb & Gulam Rasool

[@SHRIRAMGARDE]

I am listening to Bhimsenji's Malkauns since, 1975, when I was 8 years old. My Dad used to play it at night before sleeping. Today I listened to this performance for the first time. I don't have words to explain the beauty of it.

[@RCPatil-ls9th]

I'm from listen ing to Joshi ji since ,1970, including Dr M. Mansur ? What else can I say,?

[@nimaimukherjee394]

really i am lucky to have the chance to listen this piece of beauty.

[@rishitanwar4177]

पंडित जी को साक्षात् सुनने का अवसर मुझे कभी नहीं मिला लेकिन रेडियो पर उनको बचपन से सुना है. उनके विलक्षण गायन को सुनने की पिपासा में कोई कमी नहीं आई है. मैं उन सज्जन का धन्यवाद करना चाहता हूँ जिन्होंने youtube पर पंडित जी की दुर्लभ रिकॉर्डिंग को सभी श्रोताओं के लिए सुलभ करवाई है. बहुत बहुत साधुवाद.

[@venkataramanramakrishnan5302]

The Singer of the millennium, God's gift to Bharat! We should all feel blessed that we could listen to this phenomenon called Bhimsen!

[@VinodKulkarniOnPlus]

Like how a river starts with shyness, And then meanders slowly, And then becomes energetic in valleys, and rushes, Into a great waterfall with a mighr and roar of lion, And, combining all other rivers into itself, swelling, Finally joining the ocean of oneness... Oh, what a vision you gave us, through the rendering of this raga, Of the Almighty behind our limitedness!

[@jayanthbharadwaj9490]

What a beautiful write up sir. Amazing imagination. And what can I say about pandit ji. He's above everyone❤️ the boss

[@prabhanshsrivastava3773]

Taans start from 18:33 Magic from 25:50 and 30:00 Pandit jee always beyond imagination 🙏🏻🙇🙇🙏🏻

[@ananthombali3805]

Because my father and panditji were childhood friends from gadag. I remember.

[@shortthinking3045]

Excellent

प्राचिन ऋषिमुनियोने जिस प्रकारसे अत्यंतिक अभ्यास और तपश्चर्यासे सृष्टीके सौंदर्य और रहस्यको देखा,दिखाया ईश्वरके स्वरुपको जाननेका प्रयास कीया विश्वरहस्य की खोज की उसी परंपराका ध्वज पंडीतजीने आजन्म लहराया और जतन कीया.कीसी गंभीर अनुष्ठान की तरह रागोको श्रद्धापूर्वक गाया, समझा और समझाया, इनके अनंत उपकार है भारतीय श्रोताओ पर.

[@dineshamalnerkar1376]

What a perfect blend of texture and grandeur of this mid-night raag !! I heard this raag by Panditji (with same set of accompaniment) for the first time at Pandharpur (my native place) in May 1965 when I was barely 10 years old.This musical mehfil was organized by my father-a high school teacher and his photographer friend late Balu Ruplag...My father was extremely lucky to have life-long friendship with Panditji...and also with Appa Jalgaonkar...

[@rohanshivadekar]

Only and only few greats can do justice to key Ragas like Malkauns, Darbari, Todi, Puriya, Kalyan, Bahar, Yaman and Bhairavi. Panditji is one of those few greats who could do justice to all these key Ragas. When I say justice, I mean absolute mastery. Hats off to Panditji. This is simply the best...Pranaam!

[@chidambardeshpande1716]

Twice, I could enjoy his live performance at Dharwad and Kundgol in 1979-80. That experience can't be explained by words. Some of his style of singing not heard on any recordings at very low pitch.

[@shaileshkulkarni6525]

It is irrelevant to say, what a performance, brilliant, heavenly etc etc... because, Bheemanna is synonymous to God of music. There's no denying that. We can't merely thank him for that. On the contrary, we should be thankful to all those who accompanied him while singing, all those who preserved this audio, Raju ji for uploading. Special thanks to Pt Appa Jalgaonkar ji and Ustad Ghulam Rasool ji. For them, we can fing God whenever we want. It's that simple.

[@jayanthbharadwaj9490]

Absolutely right sir. We're just fortunate to listen to him, let alone speaking about it and definitely correct about the efforts put to restore the recordings and the great accompanists. ಭೀಮಣ್ಣ ಅಜರಾಮರ, ಜಗತ್ತಿನ ಸಂಗೀತ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರದ ಹುಲಿ. I've never listened to him live and that's something that I have to live with 😶

[@hamidalikhankhan9917]

My special thanks to Raju Asokan ji for bringing us one of the finest renderings of Bharat Ratna Pandit Bhimsen Joshi. 😊

[@smbzaman]

I don't have words which can reach to my regards to the uploader. Very rare piece. In this rendering PanditG surpassed his ownself. Requesting to listeners, off every sounds even noises, level-up ur heart in a calm & heavenly position. Then u will realize that what PanditG expressed. My assumption, on that day, he was in heartache, that came out from his every note. what a depth in feeling & expressions. I have been listening him since 2000. Absolutely rare piece.

[@FarhanAmin1994]

What crazy, powerful taans! :D Awesome, legend stuff. Having said that, it is sad to see people saying stuff like 'how can anyone dislike this?' It is a bit immature to think that what you like is universally lovable and that someone has a compromised aesthetic sense if they dislike what you like.

[@vijaydhavale3110]

This seems to be a Bhimsenji's younger days performance on Aakashvani ( All India Radio ) What a great performance ! Mesmerising Malkauns ! I have this more than 100 times !

[@seetharamvenkataram9475]

I am a fan of Carnatic Classical Music. However, occasionally I listen to the best exponents of Hindustani Classical Music also. This Malkauns ( Hindola in Carnatic style) piece by our Joshi Saheb is simply superb. My heart fills with pride to say that we, in Karnataka, have exponents of both styles. Bhimsen Joshi is our man.

[@devanshphadke]

Indeed ... He bridges the gap between these two sister artforms.. in fact his renditions of Kannada, Marathi and Hindi Bhajans, Abhangs and Kritis are yet another set of invaluable treasure..

[@pramodthakur4778]

Bhimseji's talented performances no boundaries of states or nations. Now he is occupying the Galaxy.

[@SatishMarathe]

Pandit Bhimsen joshi ji‘s Malkauns is popular feast. My most favourite raga.

[@sbkmurthy4926]

A person who can enjoy music has to be half musician! It is again a gift of God! everyone doesnot have.

[@hemanthakumarkamath7779]

Completely agree with you... God's grace is required even to enjoy this kind of heavenly music...

[@prakashbagewadikar7303]

What a performance! No words to describe. Purely accelesial ( Heavenly).

[@getamitg]

quite right sir.. a big fact, put in simple words :)

[@badarinathnagarajarao8846]

Ordinary mortals like me can only listen and enjoy the flow of divine music rendered by Panditji.. mesmerizing..

[@shirishmodak8815]

Short of words to describe aptly the magical singing of our beloved panditji .

[@dilipkatdare8230]

Pandit Bhimsen Joshi ,sang many ragas from 5 minutes to about an hour ,with his unbelievable ,miraculas & interesting styles.He sang all types of kinds of vocal music with great proficiency. He truely deserves ' Bharat ratna 'Prize.

[@terryriley7928]

That’s a hell of a back up singer. Bhimsen. Ji is also a great teacher I guess.

[@muraliiyer4137]

What an awesome masterpiece!!! The voice timbre, the flow, and the speed are amazing. Add to that the charm of listening to a recording that probably dates back to the pre-independence era!!! A million thanks to Raju Asokan ji...

[@sureshkallurkar4979]

Pandit Bhimsen Joshi and Pandit Jasraj are Sarswati Putra. Only gandharvas have the qualities to sing like this and move masses. Lucky to have heard both of them singing live sitting just a few feet away. My heart felt thanks to Asokan for uploading this track. -Pavan Kallurkar on behalf of my father

[@abhimanyukhullar3214]

[@vinyasshreedhar9833]

How can somebody dislike this ??? The person disliked has no music in his life I guess......the most beautiful Malkauns by Pt Bhimsen Joshiji ever !!!!

[@hemanthakumarkamath7779]

I agree with you 100%. Almighty's GRACE is required to enjoy heavenly music like this. As you said it is one of the most beautiful Malkauns I have ever heard. Pity on the guy who disliked this divine music.

DON BRADMAN OF HINDUSTANI CLASSICAL MUSIC...UNMATCHED SUPREMO

[@Aasmraudio]

don bradman is bhimsen joshi of cricket.

[@englishwithraman3784]

No. Don Bradman was the Bhimsen joshi of Cricket

[@ArchismanMozumder]

Don Bradman's batting exploits are so exceptional that it is generally accepted that no other batsman's exploits come close to his, in comparison. Bhimsen Joshi is a magnifient artist & this particular rendition of such a monumental raag is absolutely beautiful. That said, Pandit-ji was perhaps not someone who was head & shoulders above others. There are great vocalists (with recorded work) who are at the same level, maybe even higher in some cases.

[@welcome1162]

Must be circa 1965" ish, Pandit ji in his very prime, there is no place where his voice couldn't reach, could take off from wherever to anywhere, absolutely legendary stuff ! The drut, " Rangaraliya karat Sautan ke" is once in a century kinds. So complete, so replete with the range he possessed. Also please note, during that period he was singing in a much higher scale than that in his later years.
