[dixitakash]

the drut composition is in a beat cycle of 9.5

quite impressive to sing so well and maintain the integrity of the taal.

[ditsaa]

This is beautiful!

[chamogaa]

The harmonium and tabla are played just right-- to give support to and not overwhelm the singer's scintillating voice. What a beautiful experience!

I am a great fan and have heard her on TV as well on the 'Ninaad' programme on Star TV! Which ids the vinyl you are referring to? is it available as a CD? i will buy it next time I am in India!

Amazing Long live to Shrimati Ashwini!

Hathi

[SFTTV]

exquisite. absolutely exquisite.

[sanjushree1]

Wow...she is seriouslky multi-talented, a true role model-

Apart from her knowledge of Music, Ashwini holds a Masters degree in Microbiology and a doctorate in Biochemistry from the University of Bombay.

[sanjushree1]

the best contemporary female classical artist in my mind... i looooooove her bhajans...does anyone know of a CD collection i could buy? (I only have tapes, but no tape recorder)

[Karandebuwa3]

I too am a HUGE Ashwini-ji fan and I like to think of myself as her biggest fan.

I believe the Bhajans you are talking about are her Madhurashtakam, Jwalatkoti Balark and Tero Chaakar.

You can by her Hindi Bhajans from Music Today website under either the 'Bhaktimala' or the 'Bhajan' albums.

These same Cds are available at the 'Khazana' website.

[utubemadhu]

Truely Awesome singer..i recently had a opportunity to attend her live performace in Bangalore... it was a enthralling performance... the audience were completely mesmerised....

[kingChess1]

Truly soulful diva!

[dprabhatrao]

the taal is called taal "Kalavati". 9.5 matras!

[sunitakhedekar]

very peaceful....!

[arifkhan100]

Wah Kya accha andaz hai.

[bansuriraj]

A superb Bageshri rendition. The bandish is truly captivating. Wonder why there aren't many videos of this outstanding vocalist.

She is endowed with such a divine voice, purity of sur and soul stirring gayaki!

Will somebody upload her Raga Basanti Kedar please?!

Bansuriraj

[Karandebuwa3]

WHY IS THIS VIDEO AT ONLY 4 STARS?!

[sitariya]

Master of Bageshree. I will not forget her stunning live Bageshree I heard many years ago. It brought back the memories. Thanks for sharing.

[subnibhatt]

I like this and all her previous albums.. Ahir Bhirav and Yaman, Janpuri are treat to the mind and soul

[Karandebuwa3]

I completely agree! Her Jaunpuri inspired me to start singing!

[morgancook1011]

Bageshree? madlaya bandish? What ever it means it sounds pretty awesome!

[yashdeshpande]

It is 9 1/2 beats. She is divine!!

[sarinda]

Yes 9 1/2 - Tricky

[zrahin]

the madlaya bandish in jhaptal is very nice

[Rajvirdee]

Think you'll find it 9 1/2 beats ?

[Ramatganski]

Is it still called simply jhaptal when it's cut in the middle of the ninth beat like that?

[cenkjeekhan]

thanks for posting

[Rajvirdee]

she captures the essence of Bageshree so so well. Stunning
