Ghanshyam Sarda Appreciates Shiv- Hari Performance

Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma and Shri Hariprasad Chaurasia are two marvelous exponents of Hindusthani classical music.  Recently a grand musical extravaganza was organized on the famous shores of the Princep ghat in Kolkata, where these two musical legends played  in front of the audience.

The evening commenced with a major gathering of spectatators who waited with great enthusiasm for the performance to  start. It is not often that the audience gets the opportunity to witness a musical  fiesta  of such a large scale.

The evening started off in a grand note where famous Tollywood actor and compere Arjun Chakraborty introduced the two musical maestros to the audience.  A standing ovation was provided by the audience as a welcome gesture.  The set was stage for a  superb  performance ahead which simply enthralled the audience.   Famous industrialist from Kolkata, Ghanshyam Sarda was attending the program.

A slow and mellifluous Yaman raga was played by the duo which made the ambience of the evening quite serene. This yaman raga gradually turned into a very rhythmic jod. Pakhwaj player Pandit Bhawani Shankar also crafted melodious notes along with the two musical exponents.

A vilambit bandish on rupak taal and drut bandish on teen taal was played by the duo. The magical musical renditions simply enthralled the audience as they reacted in splendor. The musical harmony of Shiv and Hari captivate the audience’s charm.

The Yaman bandishes simply made them feel elated as they appreciated the beats in wonder.  The duo was also very well supported by Pandit Subhankar Banerjee on the tabla and Japanese tanpura player Takahiro Arai. The evening came to a wonderful conclusion with a melodious dhun on raag Pahari played by the maestro.
