[@sangeetmayshivam1424]

Ustad ji draws so much from his previous generation be it Imdad ji or Enayat ji or Wahid ji or Vilayat ji. He carries every generation he has heard with him. 🙏🏻

[@sufsanin1917]

The sitar is like very tasty bread. All was going well but suddenly, Pandit Anindo Chatterjee comes and puts butter and honey on top! Fabulous!♥️

My salutations to 'The 313' --- whoever you might be! ---You have very truly understood the meaning & mode of the Indian music --- and particularly the Hindustani melodies in their purest form played by ustads -- Shahid Parvez and the likes.

[@cheramannan]

Only very few people can render this Raag Darbari Kannada beautifully by exploring its full spectrum. The notes are very subtle and one slip can disturb the magnanimity of Raag Darbari Kannada. Ustadji is simply wonderful with his prowess on the instrument.

It's a peach therefore of the spiritual life as a sinuous fire breathing dancing and joyous existence, that has only one deficiency, that it lives on it's own, humanity being the armour given to it to socialise. This kind of holy music does not translate the human, but the spirit.

[@1956sanju]

Late Pt. Bhimsen Joshi once said in an interview that, an artiste must never neglect the Raga while performing. If an artiste is involved in showing his expertise (Kasrat), the Raga "disappoints" and sits in a corner away from the artiste....

[@shirin111]

Wow! What a reverential approach to the very reason for existence - the Raag being rendered, and the idea of rooting the artist to it... nice thought indeed!

[@rohitmittal1987]

Mr. Sanjay ji ,have you found any mistake in this raga played by Ustadji ?

[@jagdishnsingh]

Sanjay Deshpande Pom

[@kitgang]

Sanjay Deshpande: 'If an artiste is involved in showing his expertise (Kasrat)...' utterly or to some people bitterly true. It has become aadaat to some musicians.

[@SayanGhoshSitar]

Ustad ji have that great expertise to show kasraat to render the beautiful raag. But unluckily there are so many who don't have expertise to understand that greatness.

[@jasimagon9492]

[@ashokdebray145]

The Majesty of the RAAGA so exquisitely performed is or cannot be one that occurs on every occasion! An Holy affair, perhaps!

[@csanvi]

I wont go into intricacies, am much lame to speak about the depth of 'Raga Darbari'. But I have grown old hearing Sitars and Sarod, an outlook which i gathered from my father, who still loves this form of music like a guy gifted with a birthday present. Comparisons of any kind would be injustice to the "league" which Angels, of this stature belonged. Ustad Vilayat Hussain Khan sahib, Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, Pt. Budhaditya Mukherjee, Pt. Nikhil banerjee. A constellation indeed.

[@CulturalCrusader]

Respect your sentiments. However, both sitar technique and depth of raga development perhaps reached a superlative and sublime zenith in both Vilayat Khan and Nikhil Banerjee, which is still unsurpassed. Both had very different approaches but my word, weren't they divine. Shahid Parvez is brilliant no doubt but still a little short of divinity, I think...

[@rogerthomas7348]

i agree witchya whole-heartedly about Nikhilda. No disrespect to the Vilayat Khan school of exposition but I never vibe'd with it, with the exception of Shahid Parvez and Budhaditya Mukherjee.

[@syedalishanzaidi1]

Shahid Parvez is a genius who exercises the greatest responsibility with his sitar vadan. No one has ever excelled in mastering and controlling the medium of his instrument as he has done. And this Darbari cannot be touched by any other sitarist. It is the most complete exposition of this gambhir and majestic raga. One traverses through the lofty pillars and arches of the Mughal courts and palaces. It summons to mind the ramparts and forts of bygone days. What unfinished love stories are being recounted here by this great Master. Uff!!

[@shalinikatiyar9637]

Listen to Pandit Budhaditya Mukherjee's Darbari and tell me you find your statement wrong!

[@Springboardseo]

Amazing and powerful.

[@srinivasamurtys1009]

🙏. I think the judgemental comments and comoarison of great artrists are simply meaning less for the following reasons. 1. Their performances are not a part of any competition 2. We are just the listeners of a collection of certain performances. 3. Unless a technical mistake us found, all the remaining criticism is purely subjective. 4. The subjective assessments can only be used by the listener for deciding whether to listen more of that artist or not. 5. Our subjective opinions should not be thrust on others and bias them. Anyway the above are my feelings. I think grading and rating the creative works of artists is not our job.

[@Maitreyee7]

[@Barracuda139]

I think a more appropriate word use rather than holy, which I use below, would be sacred, which in my mind has a wider sphere than being the holiness itself, that is to say, something that worships the holy in us, rather than the holiest itself. That's my view anyway.

[@netajividyapith]

Momentous. It reminded of Ustad Vilayet Khan Sahib's Darbari Kanara at the 1960 Dover Lane Music Conf in Calcutta.Now forgotten great Pandit Samta Prasad was on the tabla. In attendance were Ustadji's mother (the extraordinary Ustad Enayet Khan Sahib's wife), Manisha (his then-wife), his sister, and of course the devout younger brother Ustad Imrat Khan. That magical night Ustadji had attained "sur". Parrvez Sahib is on his way there.

[@csanvi]

UVK sahib, i remember had ceremoniously refused to accept an award from Indian Government, declaring it unfit to recognize a brilliance of his stature. He later accepted a recognition of "Aftaabey Sitaar". The reason I say this, is to show reverence to a soul, who eclipsed mortal achievements. He had arrogance, (haath kaan mein) , might i dare say. But he was brilliance, personified. Salut! Ustad, SP is going strong en route.

[@Barracuda139]

As a westerner accustomed to expecting everything I see and here to have a structure for my structured mind logic to be able to filter into emotion, whiclst loving this music I have found it difficult to comprehend what it is where it comes from and indeed why it should exist, and furthermore it is referred to as 'classical' music. Tonight, being very tired in mind and emotions, and wondering where this musician was coming fron in the first instance, and trying to see where if it was me on the end of the instrument how and why I could come up with this kind of dancing. being therefore weak in keeping a structure of logic in my brain and filtering it into emotions, floating around it occured to me that this is driven not by the musician we see as the mortal, but by the dancing eternal voluptuous dragon spirit of ourselves that can be eternal. This smusic therefore is a fusion as I see it between our physical temple and our spirit, without any mind or emotional input. To me therefore it is perhaps the holiest of music as it ignores what we as a human,( a social creature) put into it, and we simply observe and live alongside our conjured up spirit, that which is created by God, the mind and emotions we create ourselves and so is not so holy. The dragon I see in me therefore, being mindless in the normal way of thinking, and unemotional, is simply a creature that loves his life, and shows that by allowing to be conjured up like the proverbial snake to dance voluptuosly in the glory of what God has given us.

[@recipientreception9846]

+Magneto de Winter What? What are you talking about? Your statement is but effusive nonsense.

[@Barracuda139]

g miller having reread my comment yes i can see what you mean. I do stand by it though. I think the word used by you 'effusive' is I suppose the simple way for me of understanding it. The music is basically the music of an effusive spirit, with the controlling self put to one side. thanks for reading my post.

[@gauravsimha]

This is exactly what Indian classical music is ! I'm really surprised you got a grasp of its core essence without actually learning it formally. And I do not believe it is fair to call it 'classical' music because it is evolving even as we speak. Thumris (ICM style) came into being not more than a 100 years ago.

[@supernovasimulations]

I think you are pretty much on the right track. I think in the end this is why we humans play music, knowing it conciously or not. Makes me wonder about birds and howling dogs/wolves and if their supposed lack of intellect as we know it is what allows or forces them to just be, and what allows us to refine our instincs/habits In the turmoil our modern lifes are, never really having silence or rest, everytime i come back to indian music it cleanses me, allow me to let myself go. Practically any music that not ignores the dragon you talk about

[@oblodoblodob]

Hi. Just to add to this. Indian Classical Music is full of strict structure. This involves a formal, highly technical pedagogical tradition with an oral transmission of composition analogous to a written tradition. The word classical seems exactly the appropriate English language term for this. If you move past the 'Alaap' to the 'gat'/composition at 29:30 this will be much more apparent. I think without knowing the structure it can seem unstructured. Although very complex, some general aspects of the structure of a performance - principally the rhythm cycle - can be learned in minutes if you listen to it with someone who knows the structure, or perhaps by watching the right videos. You'll then be able to follow what's being 'said'. The structure is both in the rhythm and melody, and an argument could perhaps be made that both are more technically developed than in the western classical tradition, if these can be meaningfully compared. I'm not sure the comparison is very worthwhile. Within that very formal structure and rules system, there is improvisation. Hope this helps

This is sublime from beginning to the end. I don't know what it means, but the Raag takes a turn at 21:19. Can anyone explain the change in the...flow of the Raag, please?

[@santoor_naad]

Inspired by the older form of Indian Classical Music known as Dhrupad, instrumental performances usually embellish the Raag with three movements: Alaap-Jod-Jhalla. These are played before the Tabla comes in. Alaap is the blooming of the Raag, spontaneous, and without the bounds of time. Jod is when a pulse is introduced, like a heartbeat. Jhalla is when the Raag runs rapidly through creation itself, adding beauty to everything it touches. The change of 'flow' that you are hearing is the transition from the Alaap into the Jod (pulse).

[@umairamin1229]

@@santoor_naad Thank you. As you can see, the comment you replied to was left here over 3 years ago and since then I've heard this rendition several dozen times. Thank you, again, for taking the time to reply, I can't thank you enough. It's as if your explanation has instantly opened up my senses so as to perceive it in a greater depth. Yet, I'm aware this is hardly scratching the surface of such an intricate art. @Rishi Nair, I'd like to know more; where/how can I educate myself? I'm an illiterate, musically speaking. As I don't have access to Ustads of classical music, what's my alternative to learning to understand and increasing my knowledge of this art form?
