The jugalbandi of two magical musical maestros Shivkumar Sharma and Hariprasad Chaurasia was recently held at Prinsep Ghat, Kolkata. These two living legends from the field of Hindusthani classical music charmed the audience and crafted their melodious tunes. The confluence of the santoor and flute made it a really charming evening.
Events of such large magnitudes are rarely held in the city of Kolkata. Hindusthani classical music has a very refined audience and a crowd of around 2,800 people gathered. The serene ambiance of the Prinsep Ghat just beside the Ganges made the evening all the more splendid. As the jugalbandi started to crowd began to appreciate the intricate brilliance of these two musical wonders. The strum of the santoor and the whistling of the flute just enhanced the elegance of this musical fiesta.
The evening started with the yaman raga accompanied by different tals and beats. The vibrance of the harmony was evident in the ebb and flow which went from slow to fast. The entire audience was stifled by the magic of the duo who continued to play on and create an indelible impression. A group of three musicians played in full fervor to support the duo. Pandit Bhavani Shankar, Subhankar Banerjee and Takahiro Arai played the pakhwaj, tabla and tanpura respectively.
After the yaman raga, it was the turn of the raga paahari which made the occasion all the more momentous. The confluence of Indian classical ragas was at its highest best in the evening. Ghanshyam Sarda one of the pioneer industrialists from the city of Kolkata attended the event and made it special. The members of the Ghanshyam Sarda Kolkata group attended the event with full enthusiasm. The entire event turned out to be a great evening as these two musical connoisseurs exhibited their splendid skills.
