There are no words. He makes all the modern day shredders look like a bunch of immature kids in a boys' club. Absolutely the best. What Indian music is supposed to be - South or North.
Whatever school/style, he is a virtuoso. The playing transcends boundaries and belongs to one realm-pure music. the composition is by Sri Purandaradasa, who formalized carnatic music around 12 c. Even in the carnatic school, the raga is called pilu.
Many played the instrument but these days it is hard to find students preferring the instrument. Thanks to many innovations now that there are people stating to take the instrument seriously & I would also like to say this that there have been maestros & musical giants who have mastered this instrument. But if it were that the Goddess Saraswathi wanted to show who she is it was in the form of Shri. SB & Shri. Sambhu Iyer.... No words to describe either of these Mahavidwans......
It is really wonderful he has displayed his talent bringing forth to us not merely the song of that great Pithamaga PurandaraDasa but,that Bhava intact .Total involvement thy name is SB Can there be any doubt?
For god's sake he is playing Raag PILU and is using phrases from Hindustani style in the alapana. The composition is also very much like a Gat in Madhya laya teen tal.
Thanks to the person who uploaded this masterpiece. Balachander really takes the admirer to another world.........world of peaceful music.
Rama Devi.
