Vidushi Girija Devi (1929 - 2017), ‘Appaji’ to many, was a nonpareil singer of the Seniya and Banaras gharanas. Very few have been able to match her singing skills in the light classical genre. Her flawlessly rendered Thumri instantly touched the listeners’ heart and left an indelible impression. When Appaji passed in 2017, Pt Birju Maharaj, the doyen of Kathak spoke of his special relationship with Girija Devi, who though older than him, was like a sister-in-law with whom he grew up. She had also taken lessons in music from Maharaj's father-in-law, Chand Misra. Because of this kinship, it was common for them to exchange affectionate jibes on stage during their frequent jugalbandis. Both Girija Devi and Birju Maharaj were recipients of the Padma Vibhushan, India’s second-highest civilian award.
Pt Birju Maharaj often spoke of the evolution of thumri - how it provided artistic license to take minor liberties with the raga, thus making it a highly subtle, and more evolved form of singing. He lamented how an age of grace, courtly manners, elegance, and artistic excellence has now passed. Composer, singer, and Kathak exponent Birju Maharaj (1937 - 2022) was born into a family of renowned Kathak dancers. He trained under his uncles and father, Acchan Maharaj, in the Lucknow Kalka-Bindadin gharana of Kathak before his first performance on stage at the age of 7. Maharaj was known for his animated facial expressions and light-footed movements, accompanied by the sound of bells he wore around his ankles. He would often draw inspiration from his own life in his performances and was a skilful storyteller.
On the second day of the Bengal Classical Music Festival held in Dhaka in 2012, the audience swayed as the lilting sensual voice of Vidushi Girija Devi beckoned Pandit Birju Maharaj to perform the Chaiti Bairan re koyelia tori boli na suhaye. Her singing intertwined with the magical body movements and facial expressions of Maharaj to bring out the love, joy, mischief, and restless vigour, inherent in the poetic imagery of the Chaiti.
The jugalbandi of the singer and performer were aptly accompanied on stage by Pt. Subhankar Banerjee. A child prodigy, Banerjee (1966 - 2021) had quickly carved a niche in the world of music with his consummate artistry on the Tabla. Until his untimely demise at the age of 54, Banerjee was one of the most sought-after Tabla artists in India, a leading favourite of maestros such as Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia, among others. Born to singer-composer Kajalrekha, Banerjee trained under Pt Manik Das of Benaras gharana, and then took lessons from Pt Swapan Shiva of Farukhabad gharana, for 25 years. He was a recipient of Sangeet Maha Samman, by the West Bengal government of India.
We are saddened that the three great performers - Vidushi Girija Devi, Pt. Birju Maharaj and Pt. Subhankar Banerjee - who lit up the stage in Dhaka on December 1, 2012, have all passed since. The three are deeply loved and remembered not only for their flawless artistry but also for their high humanist ideals, and the love and joy they spread so selflessly.

তিনটি নক্ষত্রই (গিরিজা দেবী, বির্জু মহারাজ, শুভঙ্কর ব্যনার্জী) চলে গেলেন পরমপিতার কাছে।
এরাই ছিলেন প্রকৃত শিল্পী। ❤️
Sometimes seeing such videos really tells us that this was not just a stage performance but It might have truely graced by presence of almighty. Fabulous....
When you come for Vidushi Girija Devi and Pt. Birju Maharaj and get Pt. Shubhankar Banerjee and Shashwati Sen along with the titans.
The beauty and tragedy of this video- three of the prominent artists pictured are now adorning the heavens.
এই প্রোগ্রাম সামনা সামনি দেখার সৌভাগ্য হয়েছিল। প্রবাদ প্রতীম এই শিল্পী দের প্রতি গভীর শ্রদ্ধা। আহা, এই তিন জন আজ ওপারে! RIP.
যার কন্ঠে, সাক্ষাৎ মা স্বরসত্মী ভারঁ করতেন তিনি গীরীজা দেবী। আর যার নৃত্যের মধ্যে পুরা মর্ত ধাম কেপেঁ উঠত তিনি বিরজু মহারাজ। তারাঁ দুই জনই আজ স্বর্গে ইশ্বরকে সুর আর নৃত্য দিয়ে নিশ্চয় মুগ্ধ করছেন। স্বর্গে ভাল থাকবেন আপনারা আর অশীর্বাদ করবেন।
এই দিনটার কথা মনে পরছে বারবার।বেঙ্গল ফাউন্ডেশনকে ধন্যবাদ দুজন কিংবদন্তীকে সামনে থেকে দেখতে পারার সৌভাগ্য করে দেওয়ার জন্য।
धन्य है यह धरती जिसने ऐसे कलाकार को जन्म दिया
उसमे भी शास्त्रीय संगीत ।इनकी प्रशंसा के लिए शब्द नहीं ।।
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💐💐💐💐🚩
আর কোনোদিন এমন প্রবাদ প্রতীম শিল্পীদের দেখতে পাবো না, ভাবতে খুব কষ্ট হয়
All three legends are not with us today.
Rip...
I don't know many times I have seen it...look like two galaxies are meeting ....🙏🙏
Ishwar ke darshan ho gaye aaj subh subha yeh sun aur dekh kar. ......sat sat pranam aap dono ko
.
তিন জনেই আজ নেই।শুধু সৃষ্টি রয়ে গেছে🙏🙏🙏
সবাইকে হারিয়ে আজ নিঃস্ব হয়ে বসে আছি।বুক ফেটে কান্না আসছে। শুধু অন্ধকার
তোমরা পূজ্য জন।অমরাবতী তে বিচরন তোমাদের।আমরা দেহ মন প্রাণ স্নিগ্ধ সুশীতল করি তোমাদের মধুর, অতি মধুর সুর ভাব ব্যঞ্জনার ত্রি-ধারায়🙏

'Padma Vibushan Pt. Birju Maharaj is a well- known, popular Dancer, Singer and Composer; pl. see the full details in 'Wikipedia'
- "M.K. Subramanian", Chapel Hill, N.Carolina, USA.
Nice to watch his 'abhinayaas' (I use a Tamil word). The equivalent word in Hindi is 'अभिनय ' - "M.K. Subramanian."
Can someone help me finding the name of the artist playing the sitar, who sings at minute 7:10 of the video?
क्या यह ठुमरी है ।।।।।
🙏 कृपया आगे जो भी दिग्गजों को picturised करें तब तब कैमरे का नाच कम करिए ! खैर पंडित बिरजू महाराज तो अब चल बसें और आपा जी पहले ही चल बसीं पर जरा उनके कला के प्रती आदरभाव रखें🙏 जब महाराज भाव प्रदर्शित कर रहें हैं तब कैमरा दूर दूर घूमने जाता हैं । रस भंग होता हैं।
