Lalmani Misra, vichitra vina & Ishwarlal Mishra, tabla | Raga Malkauns; dadra, Raga Bhairavi
Dr. Lalmani Misra was the foremost exponent of the rare instrument, vichitra vina. He was known as both a musician and a scholar. As a musician, he performed on a number of different instruments such as sitar, sarod, santoor, and jal tarang. However, he was most accomplished on the vichitra vina, which remained his primary instrument for performance throughout his adult life. As a scholar, his publications include instructional books for teaching Hindustani instrumental music, such as his Tantri Nada, and an extensive historical study of Indian instruments, Bharatiya Sangita Vadya. This performance took place in Varanasi, but don't have exact details of the date or place. It was sometime during my two years as a student in the M.Mus. (sitar) program at BHU, which were 1974-1976. Some notes regarding the recording: You will notice some fluctuations in volume caused by the automatic record level function of the Sony stereo cassette recorder I used. I was lucky that this recorder worked at all during those two years as it was damaged in the first few days I was in Varanasi after spending the summer of 1974 back in the USA. I was copying a tape at the request of one of the vocal professors at BHU and the transformer I was using to convert the electrical supply to 110 burned out and destroyed some circuitry in the recorder. After that, it would work only on batteries. You will also notice some percussive noises in rapid passages played on the vichitra vina. These were caused by the egg-shaped slide Dr. Misra used on the vina interacting with his mizrab strokes, sending vibrations to the performance dais that, unfortunately, were picked up by the external microphone of the tape recorder. Malkauns is an old and very popular raga of Hindustani sangita. Its scale is pentatonic, including flat-3, 6, and 7 along with the natural 4th. The fast gat is interesting for its use of atit, i.e., showing the sam of the composition before the sam of the tala, in this case with the cadence on beat 16. It is also a so-called do muhi gat, having "two mouths," or opening phrases. In actuality, the gat is two cycles long, with only one true starting point.

This performance took place on March16, 1991 at the East-West Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. The sitar I used in this concert was made by Radha Krishna Sharma Co. in 1970. Radha Krishna himself worked on the instrument a number of times, once to add a cleat across the tabli to prevent further sinking and later to reset the neck. While the instrument was open he reduced the thickness of the cleat h...

This is the final item in the March 25, 1995 program. Khansaheb introduced the raga as originating with Lord Shiva, as his wife Parvati is also known as Bhairavi. Khansaheb elaborated that he would range over the various incarnations of the raga as it had evolved throughout time. He concluded his rendition with a short episode of saval-javab.

This is the concluding item of the jugalbandi I performed with my guru-bhai, Partho Sarothy. The balance of the instruments appears to be best in this item. It took the recording tech a while to get the sarod and sitar volumes to match. The sound in the hall was balanced. I could have used the original video with the sound in the hall, but decided to go with the cleaner recording done simultane...

This is my arrangement for the UT-Austin Indian Classical Music Ensemble, Svaranjali, of Pt. Ravi Shankar's composition in raga Yaman Kalyan, Sandhya Raga, which was part of his ensemble performance on the LP recording, Ravi Shankar in the Kremlin. I've edited out some parts that didn't come through the sound system very audibly.

Thank you for the upload, grateful & lovely to hear Marwa 🙏 By any chance you get to accompany Pt. Nikhil Banerjee as well :?
Even though the recording was done by such a simple equipment, the sound is magnificent.
Absolutely Majestic!
This first piece, Jhninjit Manjh is absolutely sublime! The subtlety of notes and the mood they create is out of this world. I marvel at his skill and how he is able to create emotions and mood that just cannot be put into words. His music alone is the answer!
Mesmerising rendition is the last word.
Dager senior
lovely!
old is gold 👌👌👌🙏🙏🙏🙏🎉🎊🎊
Beautiful rendition ! Fortunate you were to have such capable accompaniment. Inspiration is obvious. Well done !
Real nice moving lines …. Thanks Joe!
This brings back such fond memories...ty😊
This is my twin Spurs wedding and I was the ring bearer and and deeper than Justin Bieber's top of a very lovely couple❤❤❤

Bhut khoob sir

Very beautiful and inspiring performance. Kudos and thanks for sharing!
Excellent
Marvelous in a word. Sitar sound is very attractive.
Jawari Guitar Tone Bar is used to produce Jawari sound or Sitar sound from acoustic Lapsteel Guitar!! For more information please visit my UA-cam channel
Absolutely wonderful professor ☺️🙏my humble regards to you 🙏
Stephen This recital reminds me of the 1971 concert of Pt Ravi Shankar ji, which used to listen to, say 5-10 daily in 1980-81-82. I find lots of similarity. But Guru would always remain Guru. Keep it up and post more such concerts on UA-cam. Thx
Marvelous jhalla and beautiful Gat ♥️

Salam and Namaskaram Stephen I am amazed you played Abhogi so dynamically, it's not an easy raaga perhaps and the sitar tone is just great, wonderful, the overall performance is outwardly and Liberating, Great Sangat by Swapan chaudhri j, Bless you ❤
That would love to see some of your poetry perhaps inspired by this performance!❤
🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Brilliant, Melodious, perfect Abhogi kanada…really
Hi, Stephen ji, just gone through this. Liked it very much. I was simply back to memories of 1974- 77 when you were at Benaras and learning under Pt. Lalmani Mishra ji. I still remember you gave us a copy of my father's(Pt. Balwant Rai Bhatt) Kamod & Bahar. This presentation is very much fulfilling the thurst.🙏🙏🙏
Namaskar, Rahul. Nice to hear from you. Thanks for listening. I hope all is well with you and your siblings.
Jimmy Bruno bringed me here.
After more than 50 years of listening to Hindustani classical music I can appreciate the skill and knowledge of many musicians. But nowadays I rarely enjoy renditions of raga as I used to. I enjoyed this performance. Thank you.
Very bad sound unfortunately
only 2 people can play/sing Marwa as it should be - AAK and UAK
Thank you 🙏
Mesmerizing and profoundly deep. 🙏🕉️
Wonderful upload. His music speakes to my mind.
Ba’ath. Parvati.
What a great artist. He has portrayed the feeling of sorrow extremely well.
Great. Thank you, but Puriya Kalayan is the first peace.
Actually Khansahab is announcing Marwa and it seems to be Marwa also the execution. No PA is there.
No no, there is no Rag Marwa!!
@@TheTilopa If Khansaheb said it’s Raga Marwa, then it is Raga Marwa.

Musician of the musicians Thank you for this Masterpiece Please upload more
Thanks for sharing 🙏

Exquisitely performed Shri Raag, Steven! Do you have any idea why some raags are often associated with a particular taal? Shri and Abhogi in particular seem most often sung and played in Jhaptaal.
I think it might be D.V. Paluskar's famous LP recording of Shree in jhaptal that has led to several performances of that raga in jhaptal. However, I know gats in tin-tala for Shree and Abhogi, and gats in jhaptal and rupak for Abhogi.
Excellent performance
❤ superb 👌👏
One of the best music I, have came across in You Tube...
Absolutely marvelous & beautiful.
Favorite Raga! Marvelous performance
I rarely come across to such a traditional way of Sitar Performance these days and remember my days at Music Deptt Banaras Hindu University Varanasi India when Pt Ishwarlalji sir accompanied us in the classroom as well as at concerts at BHU Really that was a blissful period having Great Teachers Accompanists and Artists occasionally visiting the faculty My Congratulations and Regards to my GuruBhai Dr Slawek 🎉🙏
Very soothing Alap 💐🙏
