Ustad Zakir Hussain vs Pandit Shivkumar Sharma Jugalbandi REACTION!!

[@meetsandeshjadhav]

I had the privilege of meeting Pandit ji in person. So humble and down to earth. A concert ended at 2.30AM but the people were so mesmerized that nobody got up from their seats. After 5 mins he asked organizers to start again and it went on till 4AM. Literally the divine experience..

Where was this concert?

[@arupranjanbhattacharyya9550]

You have talked to THE GOD

[@nootyramamohan2911]

Blessed are those who witnessed live performances of such stalwarts. They are sent to spread the true meaning of life and the purpose of the soul.

[@innermusic7408]

Wow

[@Shacko14]

One of the first classical music performances I ever saw was Pandit Shivkumar Sharma performing with Ustad Alla Rakha (Zakir Hussain's father) when I was about 7 years old... And even then I was astounded by the musicianship on display. Pt Shivkumar Sharma was indeed a legend. May his soul rest in peace.

[@devinakirloskar]

Wow. so fortunate to be witness to that.

[@lifecoachanant]

Wow! What a magical performance by Hussain Sahab and Panditji. The fusion was mesmerizing. I was swept away in a trance by the beauty of the music that emerged from their instruments. Keep reacting to such videos OSR, classical music is such a treasure of peace and love. Mind Blowing.

[@subhaplusdeep]

That is 40 years of friendship and performing together...they had that effect on everyone...😌🙂

[@nishendubaxi1128]

When the masters of this caliber perform together, they transcend the worldly atmosphere to a much higher level. These masters also take the audience to that level. It starts in a slow tempo and gradually it rises to a level one looses the sense of time,place and everything. You don’t want it to end and when it does, it leaves you with an indescribable feeling.

[@narendraapte2256]

I am fortunate that I was present in this performance and watch, listen, witness, grasp, these legendary artists just from 10-15 feet distance.

[@manojrajappan4033]

Dont like you already !! just jealousy, pure jealousy!! :))...kidding my friend...so happy for you!

[@Dave1854]

That ending part is called chakadar... 3 cycles of 9 patterns each 3 times! (1) 3 cycles (then 9 times) (2) 3 cycles (9 times) (3) 3 cycles (9 times) and the patterns do varies as you from 1-3

[@artist_arun]

Pandit Shivakumar Sharma was part of the duo Shiv-Hari, who scored music for many Hindi films, including Darr, which Korbin you have watched and loved the songs.

[@Grey-td3vv]

RIP pandit shiv kumar sharma ❤️🙏..We lost many musical legend this year but he is immortal because of this music.

[@sunayanakb]

I have seen them perform together a few times and every time I have seen Zakir ji carrying pandit ji's bag. That tells you everything about them . Respect and Reverence.

[@ravicraoify]

Thats how musical minds talk to each other in trance state. This one was very very emotional to watch. Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma - Santoor Ustad Zakir Hussain - Tabla Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia - Flute Pandit Ravi Shankar - Sitar These are some of our Gods of music whom any Indian music lover worship.

I have been witness to this heaven twice, in my life! Once in April 1997, at Ravindranath Theatre Indore, and second time, at Shanmukhananda Hall, Mumbai and both times, it was pure heaven. These two stalwarts have their souls entwined with the raga on the play...oh God. It's always beyond words. Every times, whenever these two artists performed, Ustad Zakir Husaain would bow down and touch Pandit ji's feet, at the end and seek his blessings. How humble, how venerable. Their performance always carried the purity of a prayer!! We have lost one of these legends! May God bless the soul of Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma's soul to eternity!

[@Pitashri101]

May peace be upon him and he bless us all from heaven above 🙏🙏🙏

[@rajk6095]

Been a long while since I heard Santoor, but it was DIVINE to hear it again. Always loved hearing both the instruments since childhood... but the Santoor variations felt like they were calling to someone. Pulling you as well as calling a higher power to come down to it.

[@sachinp2165]

From 10.00 min mark onward, both are stunned into silence and there is 'no reaction' for next 8-9 min, apart from couple of sighs out of sheer disbelief. .And THAT is the biggest and the best reaction to this performance. That is why I love this channel. They really 'get it'. 😊

[@sameerkulkarni5329]

Rick's face towards the end of the clip is exactly the kind of mood this scale (Raaga Keervaani) invokes. Maestros like them can effortlessly take you into that realm... Have always been a fan of this clip and really loved the reaction too guys. Thanks!

[@mohankp70]

There were more legends of the 20th century in India who were in the superlative to Ustaad Zakir Hussain. Some of them are Pandit Kishan Maharaj on the tabla, Pandit Kumar Gandharv (Hindustani vocal), Ustaad Badey Ghulam Ali Khan (Hindustani vocal), Smt. Kishori Amonkar (Hindustani classical vocal), Pandit Mallikarjun Mansur, Pandit Basavaraja Rajguru, Sawai Gandharv, Ustaads Daagar brothers....(all Hindustani classical vocal).....in South India....M.L. Vasantha Kumari, d.k.pattammaal, G.N.Balasubramaniam, Madurai Mani Iyer, Ariyakkudi Ramanuja Iyengar, M.D.Ramanathan, Chembai Vaidyanatha Bhagavathar, Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer....all Carnatic vocalists and more than legends, on the percussion instruments from South India, Palani Subramanian Pillai, Palakkad Mani Iyer on the mrudangam, T.R.Mahalingam on the flute, Balachander on the Veena...... The list is endless. The point i wanted to make is you have only experience a droplet of India's Ocean of legends. There is plenty more..... Each better than the other

If I am guessing right, this Grand Musical concert is probably the one held at Palace ground, Bangalore I think in 2009 or may be in 2010. I am among one of those fortunate attended this Master Class performance live. Thanks for reminding again.

Pt. Shiv kumar sharma ji successfully created meend in santoor playing which was almost impossible to even think with such a delicate instrument .

[@modmissy7622]

I had goosebumps listening to that extraordinary piece of music

[@IndianClassical97]

I had the honor of meeting Panditji as well. What a man. Such a giant in his work, life and achievements, yet he was so kind, attentive and welcoming to a nobody like me. Please do more classical music reactions!

[@dhananjaykharade8874]

Ustad Zahir Hussain & pt.shivkumar are the highest respected leaders in their instrument playing! We adore them! I have something new for you to listen ! A younger generation singer from renowned family,performing in a TV reality show! Linc search as~ "Indian Idol season 13 ! Navdeep wadali- yaad piya ki aaye !" Mind blowing Performance of less than 6 minutes ! Must watch Indian music vocal miracles for sure

[@nikhildamle2143]

I attended a concert in Mumbai with Shiv-ji and Zakir sahab - and it was Shiv-ji's 74th birthday that day! And he lovingly said, I am only 47, not 74! And they created magic that day too. In fact, every time I watched them live - they have the ability to get you transfixed and transported at the same time. It is rare to be in the moment and to be sent to a different world, and these masters can do that. Keep playing those strings from up there Shiv-ji!! "Water" is the first album that introduced me to your work, and since then I have been a follower!

[@sriplano748]

Thank you Rick and Korbin. You guys have made my day🙏🏻

[@abhisheksahu3435]

Pandit Shivkumar ji is the man who gave zakir hussain chances to perform in childhood. He kind of launched zakir hussain in mainstream.

[@himanishsarkar1396]

This was monumental in the true sense of the word.

[@desairajtube]

Your reaction is genuine. I just want to say their talent is their commitment to the essence of what ancient Indian legends like rishis and pandits revealed by their devotion to sanatan science that become world heritage to the eyes of those who has what it takes to sense the emensity of the Indian art.

[@futurol4177]

Simply great..Please note both instruments are governed by complex rules of Hindustani music. Just imagine they are perfectly following them at such an incredible speed of performance. Miraculous indeed.

[@IYogi019]

This one specially almost gave me transcendental phase. My soul almost left this body , and this one at last almost will take u to god instantly! ♥️

In the first half of the video, you were moving, shaking your head on the rhythm, but in the second half of the video, you were silent and purely listening and admiring silently... that's the difference, when one starts understanding whats going on....

Thanks Korbin and Rick for this reaction. I had not seen this performance yet. Korbin explained the experience so accurately - the feeling of visiting a museum or a pyramid.

[@INapplfamily]

Silsila movie music by Pandit ji and flute maestro Hari Prasad Chaurasia ji.... he was nothing less than Lata ji for India.....you have seen his son' Rahul Sharma performance earlier.... Santoor music comes from mountains, Kashmir and soul of the instrument is completely of high lands...

[@Iamlovingitman]

Indian culture has these uniqueness which can not be replicated and these can only be mastered with decades of practice and comes with the cultural environment.. Thnks for the appropriate reactions. It makes me proud when it is understood the way you do..

[@Booklover146]

Please react to the Elements series by India's best classical instrumentalists specially River & Storm. They are not movie related but music albums.

[@SouvikSomMusic]

I remember this programme. I watched it somewhere many years ago. They can create heaven!❤

[@tejasonutube]

No substance can match the intoxication that Indian classical music in its full glory can provide... Just freakin divine these two maestros. I would love to point out that every time we use words like 'talent' without using words like 'hardship' ... We do a disservice to the legends. Talent alone is of no significance here. Ustad ji in his younger days would lock himself in a room... light a long candle and play all kinds of stuff until it burnt out. This was a daily routine. That's not practice.. that's worship of the highest order.
