Live at Pune - Pt Bhimsen Joshi

[vishnukanthallika]

could be 4 plates or 5 as well.. One really needs to get on to that mood to give such great performance

[KKWBYS]

I am guessing at least 3 plates of Idlis with sambhar went in to him to bring out such a performance@

Every rendition looks like the best that he has sung! Can't help but admire...

[bestizzyours]

@sexypranav

if u ever know dat pandit bhimsen joshi is god of indian classical music den u won't have guts to say those filthy words. u should feel shame dat u r insulting ur own culture....kahte hain na "apne hi pairon par kulhari marna".....all our indian singers either it is shreya ghosal or atif aslam, they all have base from classical music....n if you love english songs, then i'm damn sure you like those bloody singers- lady gaga n alice cooper who don't have their base classical

[tetsusaigaiy]

@bestizzyours

I couldn't find 'sexypranav's' comment, but I'm guessing from the reactions that his comment was pretty brain-dead. However, when you talk about 'shame for insulting one's own culture', I can make the same judgement about you. I don't respect Bhimsen Joshi because 'I respect my culture', I don't give a shit who's culture is, it doesn't matter, what matters is that his singing hypnotizes me, that's all that matters. Please don't bring you stupid 'group identity' arguments here...

[drsandeepdahiya]

I listen him repeatedly ,,the whole day..nearly 5-6 hrs..i have exam and i feel very good and relaxed to study while listening him in background..  He'll never die,,he is in our hearts..

[MrMaheshGokhale]

@sexypranav

U got a point

But u see, People dont pay to see but hear this

Get some real BRAINS and remember we have 5 sense ears being very important ones among them and organs other than that in the middle of our pants (Atleast we have them)

[1965milind]

Thank you Panditji, for giving us this devine pleasure.

Jo Sangeet Se Prem Karta Hai, Wo Shri Bhim Sen Joshi Ji Ki Pooja Karta Hoga....... Ye Awaaz "Khuda Ki AWAAZ" hai

[omsatya]

Rest In Peace Bhimanna :'(

[GualbertoGP]

Really beautiful, I dont have words to discribe.

One of the bigest singers

[iitian]

he seems to be in peace in video...

all miss u PANDITJI

[fgx3prak]

Just came to know of his death a few months ago. One of my favorite classical singers. Now I will just have to live with the regret that I never managed to attend a live performance of Pt. Bhimsen Joshi (:

[rkvidekar]

i wonder who may be those idiots disliking this video

[swaranjali2011]

I think the Tabla player is Bharat Kamat,not kumar.Panditji your voice is immortal,brought tears in my eyes.

[100chor]

These ads are such a non-sense... Pls dont irritate with unwanted ads 'Youtube"..

[explosivetwist]

enough with the ads youtube!

[poisonandantidote]

Three people object to the sound quality, or at least I hope that's their excuse.

[operadood]

Bhimsen-ji you were loved. Your artistry rightly earned you the title of Bharat Ratna. Thank you, you showed the deep and beautiful soul of India to us through music.

[deshri1]

The earth sees such a man but once,

Just to know him could make people better.....

[Brahmoham]

Who should one look to when God removes herself from our midst?

[sangeetabhimanee]

I would like to rest in peace listening to your music Pandit ji...

You are IMMORTAL sir.thank you!

[hershshah]

R.I.P. Pandit Bhimsen Joshi..

[tbalarao]

Alas, the god of classical music is no more. Never again will we see the likes of him. May his soul rest in peace.

Bala rao

[muthubharadwaj]

@tbalarao You cannot be more true. The Lion has stopped roaring, but the Lion will always roar in our years; Hindustani Shastriya Sangeet has lost its voice, but the voice will always be heard in our hearts.

[Patrick70436]

R.!.P Bh!mshen Josh! 1922 - 2011...

[Mr1000Srinivas]

Music and Joshi ji belong to each other. Blessed we are to live at a time when he too lived. Today, i.e 24-1-2011 is the 164th Aaradhana of St.Thyagaraja (another king of divine music) and Bhimasenji has choosen this day to become one with God. Panditji Aap Amar hai.

[shanklesmann]

rest in eternal peace...

[adiddude]

This is heart-wrenching. The pukaars are insane, and the subtle moorkiyaans are even crazier. I shall now proceed to bow down.

[neelay19]

te bhimseni swar kanavar padle ki man trupta hota....moksha gathlyasarkha vat-ta

[yusafzai08]

Mashallah....!!! Beautiful voice and performance....amazing.

[latakulkarni01]

[mrprabodhan1]

dear rohitcuny you are right "MAD BHAKTA YATRA GAYANTI TATRA TITHAMI NARAD"

[saurabhCherished]

annoying ads before the video

[vidulabhole]

Harmonium is called as 'Peti' in Marathi (language of Maharashtra/Mumbai) The meaning of 'peti' is 'a box.'

[KnightSquared]

What is the Indian word/name for Harmonium?

[subbod]

@KnightSquared "Baja"

[neelay19]

@subbod or peti as well.. :)

[sammy1983]

11:10 to 11:50. super awesome

[panjdrya]

pt ji ko wah ham kah nahi sakte ku ke ham pandit ji ke bacho ke saman h ,,,,,,,,bas ham to in ke charno par namkar karte h

[dhruv9327705296]

I am thankful to a person who has worked to palce this video on net. I dont know who is that gadhedo, who disliked this video !!!

[chetanisthakur]

Milan ki aas........... now i can dia peacefull this is gem of a singing......... masterpice..

[nilanjann]

Jogiya - a Raaga which has mesmerized listeners for centuries, but here When Pandit ji is rendering "piya milan ki aas..." Jogiya is becoming something else... not a mere Ragaa, but a celestial vehicle which will take us beyond our mere worldly demands and expectations!

[nisa06]

@nilanjann ur right, check out this one too:

watch?v=kPZidAaiwAE&playnext_f­rom=TL&videos=oEvG-Bih0zY

[rohitcuny]

If God does not exist, then who is Bhimsen singing to? He is not singing FOR us, he is singing TO someone, and who can that someone be but God? Perhaps God exists while Bhimsen is singing, and when he stops, who knows?

[BIBISHAN]

imagine, after full nights concert of 3 nights, after listening to many singers, at 5.30-6.00am on third morning this great Bharatratna will sing such extraordinary raagas, expressions, culminating as crowning glory of sawai gandharva music festival in Pune. sadly gone are those days and nights!

[sibajibose]

@BIBISHAN I agree with you. I have the same experience here in Kolkata in Dover Lane Music Conference. Listening to so many musicians and the culmination with Panditji , at the dawn of last night, with 'Pia ke" or "Jo Bhaje' or with some bandish of Raag Basant. Alas, those days are gone. If only God can bring him back to his former health!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheVelentino]

it's great.....

[kiranhasyagar]

He himself is my God!!!!

[yusafzai08]

@kiranhasyagar but true praise to "the" GOD who created this man, your god I mean..... Peace.

[amogh27]

Please correct the name of the Harmonium- It's Pandit Tulsidas Borkar and not Barkar.

[Pmd9013]

someone put it in right words "GOD TAKES A DAY OFF  ......CAUSE BHIMSEN JOSHI IS OUGHT TO PERFORM".

[prathamesh24]

I'm looking for Pt. Bhimsen Joshi's - Live at Pune Sawai Gandharva Festival 1993 - Asawari Todi (1:08:32).

It was on YouTube and Rajshri for a long time, but can't find it anymore. Desperately looking for it - please help.

[birkhauer]

My god his voice is incredible, i get such a high from listening to him, i dont want to stop!!!!!

[muthubharadwaj]

@birkhauer Dear Friend, This is, for your info, raag Bhairav, one of the most soulful melodies in the Indian music. For the sort of me and a vast majority of the Indian classical music lovers, this is DIVINE MUSIC that takes your mind to a comtemplative and meditative state.. Please donot equate this divine music to something that makes you feel "high", it should make you feel "divine". You don't want to stop what????

[dasum1uprobablynoe]

this bores me a bit :(

[veterraga]

no existen fronteras para la belleza

[joyaan]

listen to khan mohamad hosauin sar ahang johiyaa raag

[kuckudk]

divinely music

[sbedarkar09]

Hi. can someone help me get his videos in pune? I can arrange someone to collect and send me.

[kuckudk]

Why don't you download it.

[sbedarkar09]

Thanks for this wonderful video. Yes I have been trying to download as many as I can.

[yashjoshi23]

[piklusamanta]

[kkhhiillaaddii1]

[kishorh]

yes indeed we are so very lucky that we have seen them...great rendition and very preaceful.

[snailkarma]

Fantastic video. Any way I can get this onto a CD or buy a CD of this/?

[srtambe]

Cds of the Sawai recordings are available form Alurkar music house of Pune. I remember that this Jogiya is specifically on one of the cassettes.

[snailkarma]

Thanks! I'll look it up next time Iam there,

[nvsh1]

words cant express satisfaction of this rendition we r fortunate that we r contemporaries of Panditji and Lataji. do us a favour pl post bhavani jagatjanani by panditji its divine

[sbedarkar09]

I could attend some of the last Savai festivals with his involvement, But as I could not afford a chair then, I was on ground at a distance. I remember the efforts in vain to get a glimpse of him and just watching him on screens around.

[sbedarkar09]

More organised effort is needed in making his videos available. It helps better appreciating greatness of this man.

[ammer1010]

props from on high

[wolf4568]

Athavalern is right the 2nd Half "Babul Mora..." seems to be Bhairavi.

[wolf4568]

Had the hair on my arms standing on end. Panditji is truly a national treasure. Beautifuly Jogiya Thumri. Another beautiful Jogiya rendition of Bhimsen is "Jiya Me Basi".

[andresteven1]

hi

thank u from info

[siddharth1dey]

Best ever and no one would ever be able to match his standards.Gos Bless Pundit Ji

[astroasu]

His music is God. No need to have another God bless him.

[siddharth1dey]

He is god of classical music no doubt. But there is another god who is taking care of us. I requested that god to grant him the longest life possible

[arvindpradhan]

Another God took a day off, she was listening to Panditji!

[yahube]

bravoooo!

[AlexRawlings]

amazing, after only hearing recordings of Pandit Bhimsen Joshi, it is a real pleasure to see this video.

[saqibtahir]

Beautiful.

[NokAppli]

Poojniya Pandit Bhimsen Joshi, Bharat Ke Sache Ratan, "Apko Humari Umar Lag Jaye."

[skpandey123]

bhimsen joshi is incredible singer. his voice mesmerizes us. the rendition of the raga is so powerful that it captivates people. truly he deserves bharat ratna. i will appreciate if you increase the collection by uploading some more ragas rendered by panditji.

[antonov08]

Pandit Bhimsen Joshi is the man

[saqibtahir]

Thanks for the inside info. lol.

[ilTroubadori]

i love this..a friend called franz introduced me to him when i lived in amsterdam..deeply moving and spiritually refined in my humble opinion..

[adimuralikrishna]

a genius...thanks a lot for the video

[yahube]

thank you very much for let us listen that amazing recording.bahut bahut barya/very inspayerd

[udaycsampat]

A masterpiece. Totally awstruck everytime I hear him.Live or his recordings.

[cramachandra]

This brings back very fond memories!

I have heard this particular rendering at least three times in live concerts, and each time it took me on a different journey.

A true quality of a genius.

I sometimes wonder how much of this treasure has my friend Narayan Deshpande (who accompanied him on tanpura) has collected!

We are just plain lucky to have lived in this time of musical renaissance of Indian Classical Music! Every moment was an awakening!

A truly immortal artiste.

[rintrah81]

We are truly blessed as you suggested. These masters within their sheer talent carry so much history into the present, making us eternally grateful.

[32shirala]

very rare video

[ppselokar]

Breath-breaking-Maa Sarswati resides in HIM. Wish could give years of my life to HIM so that he can stay for ages......& spell his magic on us. Long Live Pt.Bhimsen Joshi

[siddnik]

is this video from the just concluded sawai gandharva festival???

[Athavalern]

Please look at the end. There is a board indicating that this is a recording of the concert at the Sawai gandharva festival in 1992. Further, there are two renderings; the first in Jogiya as mentioned in the tag and then the second ( concluding) in Bhairavi.

[astroasu]

Pure magic.

[kalacar]

Legend's live performance this is one of the best, worth spending 30 minutes of your day.
