A great Malhar and a Tabla treat from the outstanding Anindo ji. What is specifically noteworthy about this concert is the quality of audience!! People sending silent murmurs of appreciation at the right moments, but at the same time not getting too unruly, especially clapping out loud which spoils the concert totally.
Magical! True jugalbandi ! What a match - note for note. Both masters playing with such ease and complementing each other with sur and taal ...in some other concerts i have seen Pt Chaurasia playing a fabulous piece and anticipating a reply on Tabla but not getting a fitting response...here Pt Anindo was beautifully responding and without any loss of tempo..classic!! In the final moments the camera focused on Pt Chaurasia when he should have focused on the amazing tabla by Pt Anindo ..that's the only regret .. Amazing!
One of the best rendition of Rag Malhar on flute by genius Pandit Hariparsaad. Reflects control, emotion and prayers. May Allah always bless him with more health and courage. A true genius and living legend.
Brilliant rendering. The wonderful tones he is able to produce in the mandhra sthayi (especially the komal ni) is astounding. He is using a ticker bansuri than what he and most other players use these days. I don't know why more bansuri players don't use these thicker bansuris anymore. Granted that the thinner bansuris are easier to play, especially the higher registers, but they can not produce this kind of tonal quality in the lower notes.
@TheOriginal RudeBoy So true. Most just buy stacks of bamboo, burn holes and sell, without much proper knowledge of sound physics or an inquisitive experimental mindset. It is for this purpose that I have created a series "Bansuri Innovations" where I will be describing the strengths and weaknesses of bansuris and how to overcome them.
By thick he means of larger diameter( bore) . 1. Larger bore give you a full throated warm sound, thinner bores offer metallic bright sound. 2. Larger bores tend to play the notes flat in the upper register and hence the player has to turn the bansuri outwards to compensate. Thinner bores play true in the upper registers. 3. Larger bores present a lot of difficulty to play notes above taar GA. 4 It is difficult to play fast taans on Larger bores, and hence the preference for thinner bore by many artists. 5. Larger bores ofcourse will need higher energy and hence demand higher endurance from the player. Also there is a upper limit on how large a bore one can get at a particular pitch. Going too high will need much bigger finger holes, impractical for playing. So there are certain golden diameters for each pitch. In fact in the present video, if my eyes aren't failing me, Hariji is using a thinner flute ( perhaps 24 mm ID) as compared to what the true flute Pandits Nityanand Haldipur, Devendra Murdeshwar, Pannalal Ghosh used . Hope this information helps.
@@allstringsattached No. By "thicker" I meant thicker wall. As far as the wall is concerned, what matters is also grain density. You can have a thick wall but if the bamboo is light, it will generally have lower grain density. Higher grain density usually leads to a more weighty bamboo. A higher grain density bamboo is more responsive but requires more effort. As you correctly point out, the internal diameter (what you call as bore) also has a large part to play in the quality of the sound and ease of playing.
I’d always thought it was “Miya ki Malhaar” (as told to me by the late Amjad Sabri Qawwaal) referring to Mia Taan Sen -(from the court of Baadshah Akbar). Corrupted to “Megh Malhaar” by some. There may be some political overtones to this as there are elements in India that seem to want to wipe out references to the Mughal Kings.
Lol megh malhar is different miya ki malhar is different...both are two different raags which give similar feels though.. wiping out mughals has nothing to do with it...lol...🤣🤣

I've heard this ~20 times in the past two months. There is infinite beauty in this composition imo.

Brilliant assessment. Fully agree !
Just experienced something divine.brilliant rendition of minyan life malhar on flute.equally well supported on tabla.
Pandit ji ko namaskar..mantr mugdh ho gaye guru ji ye sun ke..bhagwan ko aapko nirogi kaaya de or sadaa khush rakhe
Wonderful!!....This is a treat to watch and listen...rare recording!
Mind blowing and mind relaxing. Today's world need such a theorapatic music
Totally agree on this one. Some music forms have become simple noise but Indian classical is devine.
Just divine,miyan tansen must have composed miyan ki malhar by divine inspiration
the flute is butter and the tabla is silk..with what an ease these masters play..ohh

Whats difference in sound between thin and thick bamboo
By thick he means of larger diameter( bore) .
1. Larger bore give you a full throated warm sound, thinner bores offer metallic bright sound.
2. Larger bores tend to play the notes flat in the upper register and hence the player has to turn the bansuri outwards to compensate. Thinner bores play true in the upper registers.
3. Larger bores present a lot of difficulty to play notes above taar GA.
4 It is difficult to play fast taans on Larger bores, and hence the preference for thinner bore by many artists.

Wah..what a brilliant application of shuddh nishaad..so silky..
Krishna the raga is beautiful.
I think you meant komal nishad. Cause the komal swars produce airy sound.
Yes! Komal Nishad!!
