RAJHESH VAIDHYA - VEENA VOYAGE 01 - CHANDRASEKARAA

[TheMCVR]

Blessed Artists born rarely like Sangameswara sastry in past

Now rajesh vaidya...

No comments....just claps

[rarunadri]

I listen to this again and again. Great rendering of Sindhu bhairavi. Sorry to see that people think that this is for untrained ears. How does any one know whose ears are trained and whose are not?

[nkh369]

Too much hoopla. Good music and a great song need not be spoilt by distracting gimmicks!

[mohansri100]

WHAT A MAN, IT'S UN BELIVABLE

[un4getablefriend]

What is the point of a raga that no one can enjoy and feel like this. There is a saying, no one appreciates the original thing. We all like the duplicate version. I like what Rajesh does. Turning a normal raga into a piece where people from less music background can appreciate.

[arjunaleader]

Overproduced piece of garbage. Here is a good example of how to take a lovely song, a lovely raaga, and completely torture it. No matter what all these jokers do, they can neither been a Veena Gayatri or a Illayaraja. Do one, and do it well. But, a disease this advanced can never be cured. What is scary is that there a market for this nonsense.

[lashmana108]

Excellent...

[pandurangasetty]

this is great :)

[foambundt]

excellent

the opening is special

[wehrwolf1943]

Hey, does anyone know what is the meaning of word ,,CHANDRASEKARAA" and what are they singing? It's so amazing!

[serpent7700]

@wehrwolf1943 It is the name of Hindu God 'SHIVA' .

[rarunadri]

@wehrwolf1943 Chandrasekara is one of the names for Shiva. Chandra means moon. He wears the moon on his head. Chandra sekara means one who wears the moon on his head. They are singing Hara Hara Shankara, Jaya Jaya Shankara - which is praising Shankara (Shiva). Jaya means victory. That is not a part of the original song but Vaidya has included it to put his stamp on the song.

[wehrwolf1943]

@rarunadri Thank You ;)

[KarmaCaffe]

[Sivaanan08]

[jkmet]

just fantastic compo...all r gud players...

[SytheClaw]

amazing beautiful hope he has a cd

[MissTamil06]

Very nice! He is a very good veena player, and I love the style.

[5kallu]

Why that veena player is giggling? He should have a nice military cut.

However great they may be, if they don't behave decently or not humble their talent is like 'rain on sea' - a waste!

[5kallu]

He is very good veena player, but why he is trying to act also at the same time?

Spooky hair style!

[shouribarca]

@5kallu haha yeah.. i think he should get a haircut and do away with the moustache

[unclebob100]

@shouribarca Perhaps Vaidhya should wear a uniform too...

[Aehro]

very nice. i really enjoyed the intro/ending harmony.

[roofylol]

wow, this is really sweet, the tune is just so beautiful.

[tiowey]

corny

[dhineshreddy]

[99run99]

hey VAIDHYA MATA SARASWATIS blessings are with you, keep it up.

[adithi8]

just beautiful!

[un4getablefriend]

why dont u guys just enjoy the music and not comment on the player.

[quazamodus]

@un4getablefriend This can only been done not actually having seen the video.

He-who-wears-the-color-of-the-­sun practically demands us to react.

The acting even gives me a this-is-playback-suspicion.

The music is just wonderful though

[srjosyula]

He is just a great veena player.....just playing in the temple with lot of religious marks on your body doesnt make anyone a good man/ player.

Besides the only good that came out of ANY religion is the MUSIC........feel it and enjoy it.....Rajesh vaidhya is giving us that pleasure.....He is one of the best out there after chittibabu....

[999gaya3]

wonderful. but my veena never has this type of nadham.... hope i ll get it in practice

[myic90]

the guy on the left to rajesh is his brother, mohan vaidhya, and he's teaching vocal in my music school in singapore :)

[myic90]

anyone else plays veena? i do...

[sreedharansree]

wonderful......ooohhhhhhhhhhhh­myyyyyyyy gooooooooooodddddd.....

[bennymcfarlane]

where are these guys from?

[EliteXtasy]

India.

[lordring009]

Amazing...does anyone know the name of the raga? I got the swaras, but the name of the raga eludes me...a little help here???

[lordring009]

Never mind; I found out that it was Sindhu Bhairavi

[RandomTask3000]

Why do veena players punish themselves with such an uncomfortable hand posture?

[kajenS]

To tell you not everyone can play the Veena , because as you said the UNcomfortable hand posture, you need to also have long fingers and belive me it's not easy.! I guess you kind of have to be gifted and start early!. If not it gets hard!

[RandomTask3000]

I see. I guess I'll stick with my trumpet then.

:)

[kajenS]

o cool I played Trumpet.. good instrument. Also. you will just get tired on playing it..lol

[clemalford]

Sorry don't like the harmony bit.

Sounds a bit naff. Leave the harmony bit for western instruments, that is what they were designed for. The classical is very nice.

[rosarian1]

I totally agree with rudralaya.

[BobLogan]

gopal kundi gundi swaminadan paripala yasuma

[alohananda]

Well done!

[rudralaya]

this is in reponse to 'auvs': I have seen almost all of rajesh vaidhya's videos on youtube. firstly i would just like to say what an amazing veena artiste he is. the flow, clarity and speed he has achieved on the veena is truly amazing.

I don't understand what u mean by 'there is no bhakti' in his playing. Just because he has added a few modern/western instruments to these songs doesn't make it lose the bhakti factor.

[paulkrist44]

Well said. The hairstyle and movements of head are just to tell the younger generation that he is just one of their ilk. A classical musician until recently was one from 'Gurukulam' generation, sporting a tuft, putting a lot of religious marks on foreheads [the marks are put even now, mostly in a temple concert],wearing a Veshti[a long cotton/silk cloth wound round from waist to toe].BHAKTI radiated by the the musician are felt by individual listeners sitting amidst a rapt audience.

[mniru]

@rudralaya Ur rite....

[arunkumar2029]

@rudralaya premi paara naye

[utubejee123]

nice... i love it

[richardfireone]

UNBELIEVABLE! One Hundred Times. Overwhelmimg! We have never heard anythintg that has made us feel that way. Consider us lifelong friends please. Your Humble servants here in Costa Rica. Please visit us.OHM a Thousand times. Hanumans Palace, C.R.

[auvs]

Musical skill is ok. But where is the Bhakthi part of lyric playing. It looks like more of a cinema setting. No real Bhakthi Bhavana in none of their faces.

His skill may be good, but his mannerisms and expressions while palying the divine lyric are totally obnoxious.

[hvbachar]

Yes, I agree with you. But, the carnatik classical music is now commercialized. You should not be surprised if somebody plays this in a bar !!

[rosarian1]

you are plain jealous....

Without bakthi, such skill and music is not possible, expressions not withstanding...

[bennymcfarlane]

Nah, I agree with auvs... bhakti and humility - he has none. For him, it's all about Rajhesh. Makes him look like a child next to players Jayanthi Kumaresh.

[rosarian1]

Ridiculous Jealous Comment !!!!

Jayathi Kumaresh can try for all she want's,she can never beat Rajhesh Vaidhya !!!!

[bennymcfarlane]

Funny you assume the comment was made out of jealousy. I don't think it crosses Kumaresh's mind whether she's better than Vaidhya. Silly of me to compare them anyway. Who am I to judge such skilled players?

[fatalityhawk]

AWESOME!! i love it!

[gsrcmurthy]

awesome..i never heard this kind of fusion...rajesh vaidhya rocks...

[NathanDharma]

[TheBigBitch]

Rajesh Vaidhya plays like chitti babu today. He is the best veena player today.
