this is indeed an excellent recital by Rashidji ...... but the one sung by Ustaad Amir Khan Sahib takes one to the trance with the peaceful home coming to 'sa' via 're' ...its divine
I like Ustaad Ameer Khan very very much..He is my most favourit in Classical his Raaga Marava is Marvaless and simmillarly Ustaad Rashid Khan sab also my favourit singer... Ustaad Rashid Khan sung Raga Marva's bandish very well but his Raga Bhagayshri is very very nice which was recorded with Ustaad Shahid Pervaz....thanks for sharing
Why are people chattering ? Music is suppose to quiet the mind. what i see here is a sophisticated version of mindless indulgence. Why not just enjoy the musicm is that so hard?
Arguing which Marwa is the best is akin to those stup!d pop awards shows. It is all subjective personal opinion masquerading as scientific fact. Most people can identify a good Marwa vs a bad Marwa but few can agree upon the "best" marwa.
I claim that Bhimsen's Marwa is the best - (technically the version I am referring to is a Marwashri, but bear with me), nonetheless the tarana is out of this world. Lets stop acting like we are members of the Academy of Indian Classical Arts and Sciences!
Exactly, with classical music we strive to understand and discriminate between bad, mediocre, average, good and excellent renditions of a raga - but to choose one to the numero uno is simply beyond the capabilities of most lay persons.
Nice, but except that awful harmonium ... Indeed the most disgusting tumor on Indian classical music. As Rabindranath Tagore rightly said: "harmonium is the bane of Indian Music". Alaudin Khan (guru of Ravi Shankar) threw this toy on the road when they brought it to him. Singer sings some sophisticated phrases full of nuances and microtones and behind him this unbearable tempered tuned quacking goes on ... Where are the microtones, where is raag ang, where are the delicate phrases ?
If the harmonium is so horrible why does every Hindustani singer use one almost every time they perform? Allaudin Khan Saheb is huge but he is not the only opinion there is. Arabic/Turkish/Persian music have microtones, but Hindustani music has nothing similar, only a lack of temperment. True the harmonium is even-tempered but thats just a compromise people accept in return for other benefits like desirable timbre. Listen to the music at hand not the voice of Allaudin Khan S. in your ear.
If you say that Hindustani music does not use microtones, you should re-educate yourself. Also - very often the same tones in different raagas have slightly different pitch and intonation that distinguishes among them and creates a "soul" or "personality" of a particular raaga. How the tempered quacking (reminding a Paris Cafe) serves to it, is obvious. Yes, many singers use it: you need 10 years to learn sarangi but 10 minutes to learn harmonium. But it is a total degradation of Indian music
You are correct that the harmonium is very limited but your elitist attitude is disrespectful to many great players who know more than you or I about this music. "Many singers" use a harmonium? No -all singers- use harmoniums almost all the time. Its a fact. I challenge you to find 5 Hindustani vocal concerts on youtube without them. If you understood why that is you would understand more about this music and be better off. And if you figure it out let me know.
I indeed know a bit about Indian music (having it professionally studied for many years under some of the greatest Indian musicians and performed a lot). And even some of the great vocalist admit that using harmonium is quite an awful habit, the problem is there a shortage of sarangi or violin players. Shruti Sadolikar tries to use sarangi as much possible, Pandit Jasraj uses violin (Kala Ramnath) etc. etc. Unfortunately the lack od aesthetics in today India is painful (see the films for example
A good sarangi player can indeed keep up with the most intricate melodies, however, such players are quite rare......ergo, harmonium is used instead because it's relatively quite an easy instrument to play.
He is really good. Is he the best India has ever produced? NO. Pandit Jasraj, Pandit Bhimsen Joshi and many others are the jewels on the musical taj, while ustad is a young and budding talent.
dude, plz ask Shagan sahab, whats the secret of his great speeed. does he recommend any specific practise to improve speed. i am pretty fast naturally, but there is scope for improvement.
@abbasalikhan Agreed. Ustad Fateh Ali Khan Sahib is the doyen of Patiala Gharana and model for all singers. He is the master of Gamak. No one can match his difficult taans in today's time.
his taans are something i did not think was possible to do with the human voice

Amir Khan did not use a harmonium, as far as I know. He was trained in the sarangi, which is a far superior instrument (for Indian classical).

I do not want to comment on the use of Harmonium into Hindustani Classical Music but indeed Violin or Sarangi is a better option.

One thought just for debate's sake: the harmonium is capable of following the faster and more technical vocal melodies, where the sarangi isn't
