To say a great rendition would be something like a praise or appreciation of the player,I would say this is transcendental,a divine force is manifested in this delivery of raag miyan malhar, especially at 20.22 of the recording the raga takes a hairpin bend on the listeners mind.I thought malkauns was the best he could offer but this rendition is beyond comparison by any yardstick.Truly music is bestowed upon man by paraatma or the supreme soul and PANNABABUJI has exemplified it as being the one who has brought out the divinity out of nothing.A true gandharvaa.My first miyan malhar and my last,hope at least I could play 1% of this piece of spirituality and divinity
दुर्लभ ध्वनि मैं भी एक बाँसुरी वादक हुन पर मन अस्थिर होगया सुन के का स उस समय आधुनिक तकनीक होती तो इन महान विभूति का चल चित्र से दर्शन का शौभाग्य मिलता
I was very young when I heard this beautiful flute playing on radio by pandit pannalalji Ghosh. He was the pioneer for other musicians who followed him.
The melody of his (Pannalalji’s) beautiful flute play keep echoing in my ears, even when the flute stops playing - filling me the joy of an immortal music, which flashes again and again with the same flow and music often in my gloomy moments. Blessed were those who heard him live....Ravindra K Kapoor 22nd Sept. 2018
Till today i do not find another flutist who could play like my beloved Panna babu.His music is immortal as he is.Thanks for doing this great service not only to flutists but musicians in general God bless you
Aseem Kumta I do listen to his bansuri playing. Obvious reason why you found the similarity is, Nityanand ji was deciple of late Devendra Murdeshwar, who was deciple of late Pandit Pannalal Ghosh.
Well, I will remember this raag forever now. Because as I am sitting here listening to this. I am attempting to make my first E scale (concert size) Bansuri! I feel that listening to Pannalal Ghosh is the best option for this moment. Considering he is the Father of Bansuri and he was the first person to craft a Bansuri of this size! Guide me, Ghosh, that I may make this Bansuri in the correct pitch.
Pt. Pannalal Ghosh and Pt. Nikhil Ghosh are siblings (brothers). Ptjee's guru is no other but the most revered Ustad Baba Allauddin Khan and please no comparing him with Pt. Hariprasadjee Chaurasia, who has taken lessons from Baba's daughter, revered Annapoornajee. One has left us never to come back and the other is the brightest star in his field and are legends in their own right. GAUTAM DEB ROY
Sharad Saheb, I am so very glad that you have posted good versions of several of these immortal recordings! The public has deserved to hear them while being unable to for a long time. One sees from the comments here and elsewhere on UA-cam how great the impact of his music remains and how aware listeners become of his indelible contribution. He proved the immense potential of bansuri to express the deepest raga sentiments and wildest flights of imagination in rag and tal. We contemporary players have a great mountain to climb, trying to reach the heights he scaled. If you have a good version of his long, unbelievably great Rag Deepavali (about 30 minutes), please do post that one too. Warm regards to you and to all lovers of bansuri!
I was under the wrong impression that the flute is not meant for serious classical music and one cannot express the pristine beauty of our Hindustani music through flute, the way one can express on other instruments like Sitar or Sarod. But here is the proof that flute is on par with any of the other instruments, sometimes even excelling them.
How could have u such a baseless impression. The reverse is rather true. Flute much much older than either Sarod or Sitar. Possibly flute is the oldest instrument on which the Indians must have experimenting classical music. Sarod or Sitar have hardly a history of few hundred years. After flute it may be Rudra Veena or Saraswati Veena which might have evolved as classical instruments. It was Pananala Ghosh who was pioneer in reviving the flute to be played as a solo instrument in Indian classical music. Before him it was mostly in folk form. In sitar or sarod or any other Indian string instruments, one has to hit the string (right hand) to create one or few particular notes which are created on the left hand by pressing a particular string more or less on the base of the instrument by which some unwanted sounds between each or few notes which in my personal opinion very unpleasant to hear. But however depends on own perception. I think the blow instruments may be better than string (not violin or piano).
Babuji invented Bansuri a side blowing bamboo flute on the pitch kaala doni ( D# ) with an extra hole for the right little finger to get the 1/2 note down from pancham ( A# ) to tivra madhyam ( A). Then he rotates the bansuri inwards more towards his lips to get the shuddha madhyam ( G# ). Incidentally this particular recording must have been before 1952. In 1955 May his Miyanki Malhar in Mangalore for an hour and 15 minutes was the best he ever played. He was accompanied by his shishya Pt. Devendra Murdeshwar on bansuri. For tabla the great Pt. Taranath. And on the 2 tanpuras his other shishyas Pt V G Karnad and Pt. ------ accompanied him. I was 20 years old then and accompanied with his personal shrutipaet on the stage that day. Coincidentally there was a thunder storm outside during the drut and Pt Taranth's tabla beats were matching. Pt. Pannalalbabuji never played (refused to play) Miyanki Malhar from that day till his sudden demise in 1960. Jai Guru. Thanks to Shri Sharad Maholayji for presenting this on youtube
His music was available only in LP, whatever the digital version we can hear now is the sound capture from LP, so the noise, it's almost organic I would say. I have one of his LPs, it still mesmerizes me.
Prashant Sharma ji. I am fortunate to know pt hariprasadji Chaurasia, Renu mazumdar, pt Raghunathji prasannaji and many others. I cannot imagine comparing any two musicians because each musician evolves as a performer, composer and more importantly as a spiritual being. Everyone has a journey distinctly his own. I hope my humble suggestion to avoid comparisons will be embraced with love for music in all its infinite shades and emotions.
I am sorry to say u might be a dumb to tell about Pannalal ji. Both of the masters are great in their own style. Do u have any idea what for Pannalal are HP are known for? If I am not wrong, Pannalal is known to play the Gayaki ang (singing style) where as HP ji plays the gatkari ang (instumental style). It somebody's personal liking about which style sounds better to one's hear. It is not a question who is better.
अद्भुत वादन!! जयसद्गुरुदेव हरहरमहादेव

God's masterpiece.
Lucky to listen this heavenly music.
What a gem - such artistry disappeared with him. Perfect gayaki ang recital...!!

maybe can you search near the cotton plantations on the missipii ri ver banks USA
I love listening to your playing too Sachdev Ji apart from Pannala Ji's and Devendra Murdeshwar Ji's. It's very soulful.
Dhiman Das Perhaps you can listen to Pt Nityanand Haldipur. I find the style very similar to both the artists.
Aseem Kumta I do listen to his bansuri playing. Obvious reason why you found the similarity is, Nityanand ji was deciple of late Devendra Murdeshwar, who was deciple of late Pandit Pannalal Ghosh.
What a great token of appreciation when someone as good as G.S. Sachdev himself talks about Panditji with such respect.
Very very nice.mesmerising. Heart touching flute playing.

Yes. His recording in deepabali is extraordinary.
An uncanny fear looms, sound of destiny, inevitable apocalypse, gathering of black thundering storm.

Pannal is no more his recitals live fresh in the years to come. Even now he ranks first among flutists in Hindustani classics
Yes...true indeed. His flute is so devoid of breathing noise...it's like crystal clear.
@@samchat1 aggre with you
True artist my favourite
Its so surprising and shocking that none of his disciples play at this level....none of his disciples are even close to his amazing amazing playing
Pandit Ghosh is like Mt Everest. Pandit Devendra Murdeshwar his disciple was a great artiste with his own individuality and had trained many students.
Kya bola jaaye...? No words.... ecstasy...
Mesmerizing rendition🙏🙏
Solute to great maestro...
A dedicated artist......stands out high among his contemporaries
Thanks for send this lagend flute or father
Did not listened 4 octave on single flute. Such meend reminds me of dhrupad style of string instrument. He is mount The Everest.
সাক্ষাৎ শ্রীকৃষ্ণ 🙏🏼❤️
Genius flaute master Panna Lal Ghosh ❤️
He is going down to Ma in lower octave. Very difficult around 5min

Best flute player 🎉

Noise filtering should be used.
Noise filtering should not be used. It sounds like this recording has already lost some information to so-called noise filtering. A shame.
His music was available only in LP, whatever the digital version we can hear now is the sound capture from LP, so the noise, it's almost organic I would say. I have one of his LPs, it still mesmerizes me.
i think nobody is like pt. hariji is the master of blowing technics
Pt Hariprasad Chaurasia is no match to Pt Pannalal Ghosh
this is things who not have to be told Mr.Prashant -Hariji is Hariji ! not possible to compare him to noone
