15th Baithak Musical Artistry of Etawah Imdadkhani Gharana Part 02

[@DrThakurSenVoiceofHeart]

I have heard this performance more than 30 times, but each time I learn and find something new. May God bless ustad jo a long life .......

[@ayanbhattacharya2408]

I have not seen God/Allah , but the same realization happened by listening to the magical renditions of Ustad Shahid Parvez ji,. Greatest of all sitar exponents.

[@tusharkantimajumdar6453]

One of the great sitarist of India and what an outstanding performance.my greatest regards to ustadji

[@raveedgillofficial]

SubhanAllah aise Sitar nahi suni lots of love & respect from Pakistan

[@padmarajbahal9632]

समाप्ति पर तालियों की गड़गडाहट ने वह सब कह दिया जिसे मै शब्दों मे नहीं उतार सकता। एक ऐसा मंत्रमुग्ध माहौल जिसके बारे मे मुझे लगा कि श्री अरविंद जी भी उसे ठीक से बयान नहीं कर पाये। ऐसे सितारवादन को सिर्फ महसूस ही कर सकते हैं, बयान नहीं। ऐसी बैठकों से हमें और भी रत्न देखने सुनने को मिलते रहे। श्री अरविंद जी को सादर नमन। मुझे आज भी उस सुखद अनुभूति का एहसास होता है जिसे प्रथम बार मैंने November, 1975 का अखिल भारतीय रेडियो संगीत सम्मेलन मे आपका सितारवादन ( राग झिंझोटी और राग पीलु )सुनकर हुआ था। आज श्री शाहिद जी का सितारवादन सुनकर लगभग ऐसा ही कुछ अनुभव हुआ। ईस मुकाम तक पहुंचने मे निस्संदेह उन्होंने रियाज की सभी हदें पार की होंगी। उन्हें मेरी तहेदिल से मुबारकबाद।

[@kanchansingh4855]

Mai bahut samay se youtube dekhti hu pr ustad g ko sunne k baad mere dil se youtube banane wale k liye inti dua nikli hai jitni pehle kabhi nahi...Thank alot..

[@udaishankerghosh1629]

Really

[@paulharsh4209]

I think ,he is the best sitarist in the world.

[@sashamerkulov8678]

Yes

[@akashufade6073]

Paul Harsh ji Yes your right

[@tusharmukherjee2326]

After Ustad Vilayat Khan Saheb.

[@igorjee]

I consider Pt. Buddhaditya Mukherjee being the other one.

[@Coltvikk]

Pandit debu chaudhari. Pandit budhatiya ji. Pandit manilal nag ji. Ustad shahid Saab....

[@moizlakda]

One of the best to ever touch the instrument. Absolute class!

[@RajeshNayakSunkeri]

Undoubtedly the best sitarist in the world. Even the biggest tabla artists will stuggle to accompany him.

[@sandipanmukherjee9088]

rajesh nayak are you sure?? ever saw Pt. Anindo chaterjee with Shahid parvez ji?? they are both are perfectly made for company each other..anindo ji is the best ever tabla maestro I ever heard..the delicacy of his playing style is hypnotic

[@seemajoshi3314]

Undoubtedly, Pandit Anindo Chatterjee is one of the best tabla maestro we have in the current era. But we should not forget tabla players like Ustad Zakir hussain, Pandit Yogesh samsi, Pandit Kumar Bose, Ustad Ahmed Jaan Thirakwaa and many other unknown heroes. All these players are good in their own way. Hence we cannot conclude that any one tabla player is the best tabla maestro. Note: this is not at all an accusation Sandipanji, but just a small piece of information.

[@RajeshNayakSunkeri]

@@sandipanmukherjee9088whatever you are telling I do agree. But I do remember the quote said by legendary tabla Artist pandit Suresh talwalkar that accompanying ustad ji not easy. Tabla players concentration must remain intact while accompanying him.

[@ranjanroy3057]

On 40:13 He actually scolded the Tabla player very strictly YET with so much humbleness and professionalism. No doubt Ustadji is one of the greatest musicians but above all He is a great human being and personality. Unending respect for Ustadji.

[@DavidKolbSantosh]

what did he say...could you hear him?

[@aritram10]

@@DavidKolbSantosh He asked the tabla player to play the Teentaal theka clearly and straight without doing fancy things. He told him to keep the time straight & simple.

[@amit.sabnis]

Still the Tabla player repeated his play.🤦🏻 All Ustadji was asking was playing a Simple basic Teen Taal.

[@abcdefgh5423]

I could see Ustadji's frustration due to Tabla player! As a Tabla player, I know the difficulties any Tabla player can face with the intricating laykari from Khan Sahib! Tabla player should learn from this experience! Apart from that excellent rendition from Ustad Shahid Parvez Khan! Kya baat hai!!

[@amitra6555]

Problem was probably not in his style of accompaniment but the silly mistakes he made in Jhaptal. At the initiation of Jhaptal gat, he peculiarly started 1 Matra late which ustad ji adjusted. That could have been forgiven, but in the very next cycle he again made a mistake of one Matra which was again adjusted by ustad ji. After few minutes when ustad ji indicated him to play something, he tried to play half-heartedly without confidence and and his tihai did not meet the 'Sam'... It came afterwards and Shahid Parvezji had to adjust for the third time. This might have irked ustadji internally as he is clearly not accustomed to sach novice type of accompaniment. His latter comments probably reflected that only.

[@deepakraag]

Shahid bhai gave the best of what Ithawa has to offer.: sensitive, beautifully embroidered, and tireless resonance which which makes the past, present and future of the raag coexist simultaneously. Wah!. Kafi it is not. Closer to Jhinjhoti.

[@yashsharma8807]

I watch this almost every alternate day. Him playing is like an act of god.

[@umesh3859]

Every artist has his strengths. It may not be judicious to compare the greats. Shahidbhai has created his own identity in the Gharana. He remains superb. Sincere pranam to Shahidbhai.

[@rajuthankyou1802]

Divinely blissful. Gift from God. Sitar came to him, not he to the Sitar. Obeisance with utmost respect to the maestro who evokes true bliss in every note. Words won’t suffice. Just a happy tear to wipe his feet.🙏

[@snehalshah8081]

you r absolutely right

[@rajeshnayak2745]

If I am dying and if someone asks me what is your last wish then I say I would like to listen ustad Shahid Parvez before i die.

[@hassanazad4627]

What a beautiful comment. May you live long !

[@krazybubbler]

This Kafi that starts at 42:40 made me sure (again...) that Shahid Parvez Ji is living God of Sitar.

[@gursharansingh8261]

One and only God of Sitar Ustad Ji,,,, Parnaam;;;;

[@yuvalzuker4184]

Everyone who is the playing sitar must agree that the 2 minutes between 26:40 and 28:40 proves that Ustad ji playing is absolutely super human..

[@shrikantpise8118]

I agree with you.. Ustad Shahidji is The God of not only Sitar but also our Indian classical music..

[@sangeetmayshivam1424]

True

[@shoumabhopaal.2722]

Wah! kya kehne! Bas ishwar apko varpur sehat de aur salamat rakhkhe ye hi upar wala se guzarish hai.lots of love to ustad ji and the organizers from kolkata

[@shilpashilpa9726]

mere shahid pravez khan ji... apke pairon me mera shat shat pranam..

[@rajchakraborty8115]

He is a God gifted and blessed artist, one stroke Meer is being created,just awesome, though this awesomeness is the characteristics of IMDADKHANI GHARANA. Guruji take my promam both of you and spectators too, RAJ CHAKRABORTI FROM SHRIRAMPORE,HOOGHLY, WEST BENGAL.

[@ilovegurusahib]

I feel grateful to have witnessed this great maestro. Thanks for the upload.

[@aniruddhachatterjee1]

Oh. He is too good. A treat to watch & hear.

[@udupisharada7558]

As pointed out by Satish Majumdarji, the real challenge lies in being able to sing like the way he plays...so soulful...so full of bliss...my sincere pranams to Parvezji...🙏🙏

[@techboomer9716]

In my opinion Ustad Shahid Pervez Khan is the Mozart of Indian classical music.

[@debankur007]

Ustadji sings with his Sitar............beautiful playing..........

[@abhisheksitar]

I find myself keep coming back to this for the amazing gats he played.

[@mehndihasan1911]

I would like to thanks pandit Arvind Parikh Jee who organise a beautiful concert with legend artist

[@vidyottamaarya3414]

Ustadji really your performance is ever DEVINE, DEVINE N DEVINE

[@MohanRam-lr9yp]

Always great people will do great work only which will benifit humanity in the field of divine indian classical music. such a great work has been done by Aravind parikhjee by arranging this lacdem and concert. My sincere pranams to parikhji and also pervezji. Can we expect a similar one from nishath khan, irshad khan, budhaditya mukharji as they are also representitives of this gharana.

[@shalinikatiyar9637]

It would be a real pleasure to have the session with Pandit Budhaditya Mukherjee !

[@SagnikSanyal88]

I so agree sir

[@amitra6555]

Amen

[@igorjee]

Yes, the intensity and articulation in Pt. Buddhaditya Mukherjee's meends and gamaks are so good they almost hurt. His Nayaki Kanada is one of my top favorite pieces of music ever.

[@advocatesiddhantmarathe2100]

The one above all, Ustad Shahid Parvez.

[@myfavouriteTD1]

Superb Kafi , what a beautiful composition mix with traditional gaat with taan /toda ... Many thanks for such a beautiful Kafi. You are great!

[@AvadhootPrabhu]

Sitar with Living and loving heart. Just Divine. Ma Saraswati ka ashish

[@baljitsaini7409]

My all respects and adoration to the ustad. 1:06:39 😊

[@jabediqbal6739]

Piercing musical sitar expresses sadness at times. What a performance!

[@ShantanuSP]

I stop counting after 17th time I have heard this performance still listening just mesmerizing and captivating, interdimensional, Godly no enough words to express what this means to me. Thank you Panditji for organizing this and Thank you Ustadji for your divine performance. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@amadibdhib]

Même lors du réglage du sitar, il y a de la créativité et de l'inspiration. Que Dieu Tout-Puissant prolonge la vie du professeur Shahid Parvez Ji. Un adepte d'Algérie

Shahid bhai ko pranam. Uptill now it is said that sitar is being played in " Gayaki ang" but according to me vocal rendition (GAYAN) should be like sitar of shahid bhai.

[@Adwait88ify]

I totally agree with you sir

[@sandipghosh4889f]

True!!

[@Takitataka]

Ahaa.. Kya baat kahi hai. 👍🏻👍🏻💕

Deep gratitude to Arvindbhai for his tireless effort & investment in recording these talks/concerts for all of us around the world to enjoy & learn from. It's a timeless gift that is also priceless. Ustad Parvezji is one of a kind and amazing as usual. Wonderful words & superb performance on SItar.

[@gopaldassharma4939]

Kai baat hai Ustadji Finest living sitarist

[@amanatkawa3787]

USTAD IS IS GREAT THANK FOR THIS VIDEO

[@takhan43]

Budhaditya is no doubt one of our finest sitarists but why talk about him when listening to Shahid. Shahid is currently the doyen of his gharana. Here he has played both Jhinjhoti and Kafi superbly.

[@siddharth9]

I can feel the nervousness of the table player. His skills are being pushed.

[@khalilahmed7725]

Subhanalah. Dear sir,i want to say about your work but i no have any words.just Ap ki umar draaaaaz ho.

[@areascoda2912]

[@madhvamunirao.sandhyavanda40]

I have been reading, observing and listening to the various discussions on the role of Silence in Music, Indian Classical Music, in specific. The discussions are mostly inspired by western points of view and applying them to Indian Classical Music. Ustad Shahid Parvez Khan has also talked about using 'silence'. Silence and Pauses are two aspects in Indian Classical Music. They are distinct and different. The Performing musicians are creative artists. During the performance(s), they get creative moments and ideas for communication and presentation. To offer, communicate and present a creative idea based sangati or sanchara, they need to stop the flow and start afresh. This process of momentary stop or gap (correctly) in the flow, is pause. It is not Silence. Fortunately, rarely, the creative artist comes up with excellent ideas and its presentation. Unfortunately, in reality, no new, afresh and excellent ideas and its presentation happens. Expectation and excitement is aroused and ends with ordinary sangati or sanchara, serving only the committed rasikas of the artist, who get the feeling of fresh and new experience, with the deliberate and conscious indulgence by the performer. The Silence happens when the performing artist is drawn creatively sub-conscious and totally inward and in perfection, reaches pinnacles of pure and sublime Nada and its effects, all pervading and all consuming. The pervasiveness and consumption, is realized only after the real creative moments, performance and delivery. The moments, when both the performer and the rasika are in the state of suspended animation caused by the beauty (stunningly) is verily, the Silence! The awareness and its impact and benefits, happen after the Silence is over. The pauses serve the limited purpose of arresting the attention or even testing the preparedness or patience of the rasika. But, Silence, a very rare phenomenon, is truly blissful moment(s).
