When many of th Indians nt evn knw abt a classical music in India prevailing in th name Drupad, this one an All non Indians performing a Drupad instrumental music jugalbandi….

[@ravindrashenoy5955]

SUPERB PERFORMANCE UNBELIEVABLE MELODY AND SYNC IN YOUR RENDITION. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

[@chiraranjanbakshi3877]

The whole world is merged in vibration, it is the devotion that makes vibration come alive ! The musicians are seekers !

[@panchanansardar7704]

Very nice , the accompaniment on pakwaj is simple and excellent

[@vijayarajkotia1392]

Wonderful presentation of our music with such great capability to go into the depth taking one to highest spiritual state of existence .

[@Sayan_Mukherjee]

Surbahar, IMHO, is one of the most underrated instruments in the ICM realm. It gives me immense pleasure and childish excitement to see that being played so beautifully, that too overseas. The Veena jugalbandi is just a whole different level. Kudos to the maestros and wish to see more of these, and if you guys are open, we can also host you in the UK.

1st you move it and then it moves you! Great rendition

[@ermitanyo777]

I love those bass notes and tones from both instruments. Very immersive. My pranaams to ALL the artists involved in such immense recording.

[@Birdbussa]

Wow I’m loving it so far

[@danielhudon9456]

A truly expansive, exploratory rendition - thank you!

[@paullivingstone640]

Really wonderful Malkauns, this is the deep ras of the rag... it requires this kind of depth, stillness and exploratory spirit... to put you in a sublime meditative zone!

[@prpluv]

Love the combination of instruments....am very fond of both for their guttural resonance...the deeper vibrations unearth deep seated emotion....thank you for posting

[@telkar4427]

thank you so much for the wonderful music

[@surgery-insider980]

My God. It's awesome performance Brilliant Super Excellent 🙏🏻

[@subhojeet04121983]

Amazing performance. It's very heartening to see classical music slowly rebirthing again.

[@ermitanyo777]

Classical music didnt and will never die, only gradually diminishes, and then accentuates together with the flow of time...

[@subhojeet04121983]

@@ermitanyo777 just like technology, art can be lost too. It's a wrong notion that it won't die. It has to be passed down. New art forms may emerge, but things have a way of dying.

[@sohambhattacharya5376]

A little correction. Here music is being reborn. Music itself is not giving birth to something else. So here "rebirthing" will not be use. "Rebirthing" means giving rebirth to something . Music itself is "being reborn " here. So the correct way of saying it would be " slowly being reborn". Thank you.

[@govindarajulu-kasturi9614]

Beautiful. God bless the Maestros. Thanks.

[@nibirkousik976]

Now a days Rare to find such dedication in India.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Blessed by Iswar.

[@ssoupayan]

Very true! Dhrupad takes time and patience.

[@jimnutter6901]

Can there be a more subtle art form?🙌🙏🏾❤️🌹.

[@saggitarius1000]

I listen to this at night. Seems to put all anxieties at rest. Elevating

[@joaosvayam]

Beautiful combo, never listen to surbahar with rudra veena, and it sounds so natural. Really good. And what a wonderful trully felt interpretation on Malkauns.

[@mikedickman9623]

it's what decided me to listen... i'm glad it did!

[@jimnutter6901]

A hymn to the vibrations that encompass the All. Subtlety , nuance and mutual respect.🙏🏼🫶🌹.

[@vijayarajkotia1392]

Very melodious rare jugalbandbi ,great work.

[@drkamleshdubey1916]

My gharama of dhrupad,dumraon, Bihar, India.So rag malkauns ,I believe,is belongs to mall State where malliks of Bihar are developer of this rag specially, my forefathers were malli of mall State near kushinagar,up.this rag malkauns takes upto upper state of mind.Both of you are doing so nicely.

[@ceadachrua]

Beautifully done jugalbandi, maestros! Also, one the most magnificent jhala movements I’ve yet heard. 🙏🏽

[@jigggro]

A special mention for the pakhawaji. 5 star.

[@anirbanbanerjee1791]

দুর্দান্ত!! অতুলনীয়!! আশা করছি, কলকাতায় আপনাদের live performance দেখতে পাব। ❤❤ Participation par excellence. ------ Eindrucksvoll!! Unvergleichlich!! Ich hoffe, Ihren Live-Auftritt in Kalkutta zu sehen. ❤❤ Partizipation par excellence.

[@KeziahMason]

This is an incredible performance. Thanks to the players as well as the people who did a great job with the audio and video. You are doing shastriya sangeet a great favor by showcasing the music so well.

[@vishnushanbhogue7882]

i agree with u ...the B & W added further beauty

[@kaushalsonkariya6642]

I am just speechless after listening to it❣️

[@devanshphadke]

A beautiful exploration of Malkauns ...

[@mundanemaxima]

ecstatic divinity in its higest form, the timbre of both instruments is so deep and profound that they evoke a sense of calmness yet they are so powerful and moving too ,if i have to choose absolutely one instrument that i can listen forever would be rudra veena

[@donazen2952]

Very nice .... as much I felt with honesty.... both the taar yantra specialists have extreme grip over the grammar of the Raga, but Sur saadhana is yet to be done .... oja gun is very prominent , but sur saadhana needs to be prideless n egoless n total dedication to the naad brahma should be present through out the performance , self should be completely emerged into the supreme one .... only then that can be felt n enjoyed , I have high expectations from these saadhakas because they r capable 🌱🌿🌳🌷🌾🙏

[@satyanarayanamendu6231]

Superb. Par Excellent. Particularly the melody in lower octave is very very melodious. Hats off 👏👏👏👌👍🙏

[@sank79]

Wonderful. This is really good.

What a great group you have there! Hope you were able to continue studying and playing during the pandemic.

[@KGSinghSF]

Great very blissful and great performances

[@lester9330]

Awe inspiring performances in this 'movie for the mind' (to paraphrase) superb sound and visual. True to the nuances of raag and more! The symbiosis between the players is 'more than human'(to paraphrase again!).

[@aritram10]

WHO IS/ARE YOUR GURUJI(MASTER)? YOUR INDIAN CLASSICAL MUSIC GREAT.

[@berlinragatribe9575]

Carsten Wicke has learned under great Beenkar Ustad Asad Ali Khan and took further guidance from vocalist Ashis Sankrityayan. Matyas Wolter learned under Sitar Maestro Pt. Subroto Roy Chowdhury. Since his demise in 2017 he learns with Sarod Maestro Ustad Irfan Muhammad Khan of Lucknow Shajahanpur Gharana. Hannah Pashkevich learns Pakhawaj under Pt. Mohan Shyam Sharma.

Uffff

[@NovemberVIHR]

Guys, beautiful. What microphones were uses for this recording?

[@MatyasWolter]

Thanks Dimitrij. We both used Buddha System Pickups through fishman preamps on our instruments and that signal was used at 90% for the audio mix. There is tiny amount of signal from an X/Y stereo-pair in the mix as well but that is nearly neglecteable.

[@NovemberVIHR]

@@MatyasWolter Thanks for detailed answer :). We enjoy listening to this recording big time. Greetings from Vilnius (Lithuania) raga community!

[@jigggro]

Pujan chali Mahadev ? Is this the bandish being applied ?

[@RudraVeena]

yes, this is the Chautaal Bandish... the Sooltaal is Shankar Girija Pati...

[@jigggro]

@@RudraVeena carstenji, I always assumed these 2 bandishes are Dagar staples ?

[@RudraVeena]

@@jigggro sure, they are often performed bandishes from the Dagar tradition. One reason to play them on the Veena is the ability to play along in a possible vocal - veena jugalbandi. Otherwise they are simple beautiful compositions in raga Malkauns.

[@jigggro]

@@RudraVeena Bhai shri, are the Asad Ali Khan related Gharana bandishes quite different from Dagar ? Darbhanga for example, is quite different. In terms of the gait and lyrical content of bandishes Darbhanga seems to me to be closer to bhakti, than the often abstract nature of many Dagar bandishes. These two in Malkauns aside, Dagar seems to have "taan talwar", "pratham taal sur sadhe" etc, whereas Darbhanga often has complex poetical ideas, such as Ram and Sita sitting together on a swing (I forget the exact words). How would the AAK gharana feature here ? Thanks for your answers, I hope it is not bothersome.

[@RudraVeena]

@@jigggro well that's a bit complex question. First of all in the Jaipur Binkar Gharana as Khansahib would call his family's tradition there is to my knowledge no special repertoire of vocal bandishes that are only available in this tradition. Which makes sence seeing that it is a line of instrumentalist/Binkars. On the other hand opposite to the younger instruments like Sitar or Sarod the Veena never has developed special instrumental compositions/ ghats to be played on it. The musical practice until the first half of 20th century has been that the Jor/Jhalla section has concluded with Tar Paran an improvised section where the Veena and Pakhawaj would explore improvised patterns following the rythmical inspiration of Pakhawaj parans, set in the Raga and Taala. I'm not sure how long the vocal bandishes have been played already on the Veena too. It was definately a comon practice that I heard with the genration of Veena players of my Ustad. However he would hardly play a full bandish but rather take a line of the sthayi and one of antara and improvise with this... That's basically what I do often too today, beside composing own compositions when needed. The last interesting fact regarding this question is that there as been a long relationship between the families of my Khansahib and the Dagars spanning for several genarations already. After the early loss of his father Ustadji moved over to Delhi, where he was a regular guest in the house if of Ustad Rahimuddin Dagar, father of Ustad Fahimuddin Dager, whith whom he shared a life long close friendship. Since I have learned also from a vocalist in the Dagar tradition it's obvious to choose compositions from there repertoire. Which at times I play also in a more detailed form as also Ustad Zia Mohiuddin Dagar or his son Ustad Bahauddin Dagar would do.

[@selfcorrected-Bobby]

lol this guy murders drumming

[@gorakhkalyan8982]

[@ajr1247]

Sounds like Chinese music.

[@plantmomindistress3420]

That's because Chinese and by extension Japanese music use five note scales which are formed by mixing two tetra terta chords to create four five note scales- min- yo, Miyako- Bushi, Ritsu, Ryu-Kyu. Raag Malkauns is a five note scales which loosely "set" on the phrygian mode (bhairavi thaat) and OMITS the minor second and fifth. So it takes a similar east asian color.

[@bacicinvatteneaca]

Chinese music across the millennia did as much harmonic and melodic as European and Indian music did.

[@bacicinvatteneaca]

@@plantmomindistress3420 what they're playing omits the second and sixth, not fifth. It's basically a minor pentatonic

[@ericboberic]

@@bacicinvatteneaca that's an interesting aural illusion, but you're actually incorrect. You're hearing the tonic in the wrong place. The raga is made up of the 1, the b3, the 4, the b6, and the b7. You're hearing the 4 as the tonic and - if that WERE the tonic, you would be correct
