What a tribute to his legendary teacher!

[@adityajabade8709]

A fitting tribute! One sees a very special Vasantrao in Vijay-ji than rest of his emulators, isn't it?

@@adityajabade8709 True! In Chandrakant Limaye ji also, one finds a beautiful perfume of Vasantrao’s gayaki (off the top of my head, I recall a lovely Shankara by Limayeji recently uploaded to his channel). But the fragrance of Vasantrao’s gayaki found in Koparkarji is unique in its own way. It is especially perceptible in his natyageet gayan. :)

@@FarhanAmin1994 Very true! Chandrakantkji's renditions most certainly have deep roots in Vasantrao's character given his long association. The youth in gayaki! I have been dying to hear a 'Ravi Mee' from Vijay-ji, a touchstone of Vasantrao's mercurial gayaki. Hoping to stumble on one some day. :)
