I had the privilege of meeting Pandit ji in person. So humble and down to earth. A concert ended at 2.30AM but the people were so mesmerized that nobody got up from their seats. After 5 mins he asked organizers to start again and it went on till 4AM. Literally the divine experience..
One of the first classical music performances I ever saw was Pandit Shivkumar Sharma performing with Ustad Alla Rakha (Zakir Hussain's father) when I was about 7 years old... And even then I was astounded by the musicianship on display. Pt Shivkumar Sharma was indeed a legend. May his soul rest in peace.
Thats how musical minds talk to each other in trance state. This one was very very emotional to watch. Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma - Santoor Ustad Zakir Hussain - Tabla Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia - Flute Pandit Ravi Shankar - Sitar These are some of our Gods of music whom any Indian music lover worship.
Pt bheemsen Joshi ji Pt jasraj jee Pt ajoy chakrabarty ji Vidushi kaushiki chakraborty ji Lata ji asha ji manna Dey sahb Rafi sahab Kishore Kumar sahab
Wow! What a magical performance by Hussain Sahab and Panditji. The fusion was mesmerizing. I was swept away in a trance by the beauty of the music that emerged from their instruments. Keep reacting to such videos OSR, classical music is such a treasure of peace and love. Mind Blowing.
There were more legends of the 20th century in India who were in the superlative to Ustaad Zakir Hussain. Some of them are Pandit Kishan Maharaj on the tabla, Pandit Kumar Gandharv (Hindustani vocal), Ustaad Badey Ghulam Ali Khan (Hindustani vocal), Smt. Kishori Amonkar (Hindustani classical vocal), Pandit Mallikarjun Mansur, Pandit Basavaraja Rajguru, Sawai Gandharv, Ustaads Daagar brothers....(all Hindustani classical vocal).....in South India....M.L. Vasantha Kumari, d.k.pattammaal, G.N.Balasubramaniam, Madurai Mani Iyer, Ariyakkudi Ramanuja Iyengar, M.D.Ramanathan, Chembai Vaidyanatha Bhagavathar, Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer....all Carnatic vocalists and more than legends, on the percussion instruments from South India, Palani Subramanian Pillai, Palakkad Mani Iyer on the mrudangam, T.R.Mahalingam on the flute, Balachander on the Veena...... The list is endless. The point i wanted to make is you have only experience a droplet of India's Ocean of legends. There is plenty more..... Each better than the other
When the masters of this caliber perform together, they transcend the worldly atmosphere to a much higher level. These masters also take the audience to that level. It starts in a slow tempo and gradually it rises to a level one looses the sense of time,place and everything. You don’t want it to end and when it does, it leaves you with an indescribable feeling.
Pandit Shivakumar Sharma was part of the duo Shiv-Hari, who scored music for many Hindi films, including Darr, which Korbin you have watched and loved the songs.
Rick's face towards the end of the clip is exactly the kind of mood this scale (Raaga Keervaani) invokes. Maestros like them can effortlessly take you into that realm... Have always been a fan of this clip and really loved the reaction too guys. Thanks!
I have seen them perform together a few times and every time I have seen Zakir ji carrying pandit ji's bag. That tells you everything about them . Respect and Reverence.
I have been witness to this heaven twice, in my life! Once in April 1997, at Ravindranath Theatre Indore, and second time, at Shanmukhananda Hall, Mumbai and both times, it was pure heaven. These two stalwarts have their souls entwined with the raga on the play...oh God. It's always beyond words. Every times, whenever these two artists performed, Ustad Zakir Husaain would bow down and touch Pandit ji's feet, at the end and seek his blessings. How humble, how venerable. Their performance always carried the purity of a prayer!! We have lost one of these legends! May God bless the soul of Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma's soul to eternity!
Been a long while since I heard Santoor, but it was DIVINE to hear it again. Always loved hearing both the instruments since childhood... but the Santoor variations felt like they were calling to someone. Pulling you as well as calling a higher power to come down to it.
This performance is during the annual Sawai Gandharva Mahotsav held in Pune in memory of Guru of Pandit Bhimsen Joshi. I had the privilege of attending this performance and it’s memory that I cherish for life.
Thanks for reacting to videos like these!! They are the true representations of our culture. That’s why we love you guys!! And that’s why you will always be the best reaction channel in my eyes :)
Simply great..Please note both instruments are governed by complex rules of Hindustani music. Just imagine they are perfectly following them at such an incredible speed of performance. Miraculous indeed.
I had the honor of meeting Panditji as well. What a man. Such a giant in his work, life and achievements, yet he was so kind, attentive and welcoming to a nobody like me. Please do more classical music reactions!
That ending part is called chakadar... 3 cycles of 9 patterns each 3 times! (1) 3 cycles (then 9 times) (2) 3 cycles (9 times) (3) 3 cycles (9 times) and the patterns do varies as you from 1-3
I attended a concert in Mumbai with Shiv-ji and Zakir sahab - and it was Shiv-ji's 74th birthday that day! And he lovingly said, I am only 47, not 74! And they created magic that day too. In fact, every time I watched them live - they have the ability to get you transfixed and transported at the same time. It is rare to be in the moment and to be sent to a different world, and these masters can do that. Keep playing those strings from up there Shiv-ji!! "Water" is the first album that introduced me to your work, and since then I have been a follower!
Your reaction is genuine. I just want to say their talent is their commitment to the essence of what ancient Indian legends like rishis and pandits revealed by their devotion to sanatan science that become world heritage to the eyes of those who has what it takes to sense the emensity of the Indian art.
In the first half of the video, you were moving, shaking your head on the rhythm, but in the second half of the video, you were silent and purely listening and admiring silently... that's the difference, when one starts understanding whats going on....
Silsila movie music by Pandit ji and flute maestro Hari Prasad Chaurasia ji.... he was nothing less than Lata ji for India.....you have seen his son' Rahul Sharma performance earlier.... Santoor music comes from mountains, Kashmir and soul of the instrument is completely of high lands...
From 10.00 min mark onward, both are stunned into silence and there is 'no reaction' for next 8-9 min, apart from couple of sighs out of sheer disbelief. .And THAT is the biggest and the best reaction to this performance. That is why I love this channel. They really 'get it'. 😊
I am lost in another world... The power of music at its best.... 😱😱😱😱... What was that 🥺... Sensational stuff.... Even the machine would falter at that pace 😂.... Incredible legendary performance👏👏👏👏👏👏 and the power of Raga and Indian classical music makes it a sheer magic if performed like this 👏👏👏👏👏
No substance can match the intoxication that Indian classical music in its full glory can provide... Just freakin divine these two maestros. I would love to point out that every time we use words like 'talent' without using words like 'hardship' ... We do a disservice to the legends. Talent alone is of no significance here. Ustad ji in his younger days would lock himself in a room... light a long candle and play all kinds of stuff until it burnt out. This was a daily routine. That's not practice.. that's worship of the highest order.
If I am guessing right, this Grand Musical concert is probably the one held at Palace ground, Bangalore I think in 2009 or may be in 2010. I am among one of those fortunate attended this Master Class performance live. Thanks for reminding again.
@@Stoiccynic224 I would say it's kind of drug feel. Hear it alone with focus and by understanding of raag basics. You will feel what he says. And if you listen it after alcohol you will travel to different World. That's what kings those days did
Thanks Korbin and Rick for this reaction. I had not seen this performance yet. Korbin explained the experience so accurately - the feeling of visiting a museum or a pyramid.
Indian culture has these uniqueness which can not be replicated and these can only be mastered with decades of practice and comes with the cultural environment.. Thnks for the appropriate reactions. It makes me proud when it is understood the way you do..
Life comes full circle. You have actually reviewed and commented on the same piece when his son Rahul was playing the Santoor son. Incidentally that time too, Ustadji was accompanying him. From father to son, Ustad Zakir Hussain was the common link.
when our Indian ancestors says music has power to heal dieses, so many laughed at them...actually it does...in coming years it will prove scientifically...
Korbin spoke of sculptures. Please check out the carvings of Belur and Halebeedu temples in the southern Indian state of Karnataka. The sculptures are mind blowing.
It’s a point of sadhana (making mind a tool), where they know so much of the theory that, every intricacy becomes a subconscious memory. They don’t learn the art, they train their mind to align with the art form. The involved senses hence align so fast with the mind as well as the specific muscles and nerves that, the actions precede the sensory processing. The fingers have their own set or brains if I have to take a biological aspect. We call that Yog Sadhana here , where your mind and body is one and you have full control over both. This is not possible with learning (it plays a big role in paving the way though). It’s purey sadhana. We all have oftentimes grasped it unconsciously, where we react correctly even before understanding a thing. What makes them special is not a different talent but the mastery over that same talent, which they can attain consciously and consistently.
I love the faces!! Yes man...you can't say anything to that!! ♥️♥️ And yes you must know about Pandit Ji!! And please add ji as you add in Ustad ji...same goes with Pandit... it's Pandit Ji!!
Please listen to full 1 hour wonderful. Have grown up listening to them should be University archive, and they had one more on stage of 10 beat Jhaptaal
That moment where Korbin's mouth just falls open and is not closing anymore 😉Zakir is like the 4 year old that hops skips through everything at school and then goes : No no I am merely a student ' so much fun!
I had the privilege of meeting Pandit ji in person. So humble and down to earth. A concert ended at 2.30AM but the people were so mesmerized that nobody got up from their seats. After 5 mins he asked organizers to start again and it went on till 4AM. Literally the divine experience..

Where was this concert?
You have talked to THE GOD
Blessed are those who witnessed live performances of such stalwarts. They are sent to spread the true meaning of life and the purpose of the soul.

Pandit Shivkumar ji is the man who gave zakir hussain chances to perform in childhood. He kind of launched zakir hussain in mainstream.

@@shobhajreddy5459 i didn't include her as they have reacted to her music
There are even more tabla players that are alive like Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri and Pandit Anindo Chatterjee
I am fortunate that I was present in this performance and watch, listen, witness, grasp, these legendary artists just from 10-15 feet distance.
That is 40 years of friendship and performing together...they had that effect on everyone...😌🙂

Pt. Shiv kumar sharma ji successfully created meend in santoor playing which was almost impossible to even think with such a delicate instrument .
I had goosebumps listening to that extraordinary piece of music
Thanks for reacting to videos like these!! They are the true representations of our culture. That’s why we love you guys!! And that’s why you will always be the best reaction channel in my eyes :)
I’ve seen both performers live … still watching this with you both had me in tears
Just a masterpiece
Simply great..Please note both instruments are governed by complex rules of Hindustani music. Just imagine they are perfectly following them at such an incredible speed of performance. Miraculous indeed.
This was monumental in the true sense of the word.
I had the honor of meeting Panditji as well. What a man. Such a giant in his work, life and achievements, yet he was so kind, attentive and welcoming to a nobody like me.
Please do more classical music reactions!
You guys are incredible bringing some extraordinary and incredible video clips.
legendary Pt. Shiv Kumar Sharma is the only instrumental player who has the ability to unlock such rhythm in tabla from ustad ji
Thank you Rick and Korbin. You guys have made my day🙏🏻

Actually, this is all one can say. Words will pale into insignificance, while attempting to explain an experience like this. Sheer bliss!
This one specially almost gave me transcendental phase. My soul almost left this body , and this one at last almost will take u to god instantly! ♥️
Your reaction is genuine. I just want to say their talent is their commitment to the essence of what ancient Indian legends like rishis and pandits revealed by their devotion to sanatan science that become world heritage to the eyes of those who has what it takes to sense the emensity of the Indian art.
They both so down to earth. Great people great music!!!
Classical Intrument performances are never scripted. It is all about the permutations and combinations while keeping in mind the beat count 😇
In the first half of the video, you were moving, shaking your head on the rhythm, but in the second half of the video, you were silent and purely listening and admiring silently... that's the difference, when one starts understanding whats going on....

At one point it was like we were in an interstellar space. It was like our brain waves were in harmonic motion with their instruments.
Oh yeah! One of my favourite concerts “Live in Pune” Raag Kirwani ❤❤❤
Best way to enjoy North Indian music is to keep your eyes closed and relax - you get transformed and start vibrating with the sound in unison.
Indian Classical music is all about uplifting the Chakras ..You would always feel high after listening to it ...
what chakras?? I didn't feel anything as such.
@@Stoiccynic224 i think you are converted rice bag
Absolutely
Different instruments have effects on different chakras..
@@Stoiccynic224 I would say it's kind of drug feel. Hear it alone with focus and by understanding of raag basics. You will feel what he says. And if you listen it after alcohol you will travel to different World. That's what kings those days did
When level of Mastery! which crossed the human level🧡🙏
Thanks Korbin and Rick for this reaction. I had not seen this performance yet.
Korbin explained the experience so accurately - the feeling of visiting a museum or a pyramid.
OMG !! That ending was better than any Mike drop moment in the world.
In simple words, these are incredibly talented human beings, who occasionally for small periods of time achieve god like feats in their performances.
CAN YOU GUYS BELIEVE YOU'VE MET THIS LEGEND❤️❤️❤️..??
Indian culture has these uniqueness which can not be replicated and these can only be mastered with decades of practice and comes with the cultural environment.. Thnks for the appropriate reactions. It makes me proud when it is understood the way you do..
Awesome. Marvelous excellent classic performance. Speechless. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
God listening to it was exhausting..I was almost out of breath 😂😂 imagine playing it..
The fact that most of it is improvised and not hard rehearsed blows my mind
These guys are not masters, they are legendary !!
Life comes full circle. You have actually reviewed and commented on the same piece when his son Rahul was playing the Santoor son. Incidentally that time too, Ustadji was accompanying him. From father to son, Ustad Zakir Hussain was the common link.
Please react to the Elements series by India's best classical instrumentalists specially River & Storm. They are not movie related but music albums.
I was jst zoned out...surreal
I remember this programme. I watched it somewhere many years ago. They can create heaven!❤
Please react to Anoushka Shankar (Sitar) and Patricia Kopatschinskaja (Violin) playing Raga Piloo. Very enjoyable and fun.
Lucky to have watched many of their LIVE concerts

Yours reactions are so realistic . Love for both of you
You also had reacted to Zakir Hussain and Shiv Kumar Sharma’s son, Rahul Sharma, in one of your videos.

Goosebumps ..... 👏👏👏👏
Today you both have found true gems.. Panditji composition will transcend you to another dimension!!

Speechless…..that’s all that is! Silence says everything….
Korbin seemed to be moved to tears mid-performance. They’re amazing isn’t it..
Enjoyed with u bro
Iam wondering besides his talent how many girls would have fallen for his handsome face 😂😂iam too young now to get a crush on him
Great Reaction video guys
I don't know what to say. At one stage you stopped shaking your head and felt tired. But they continued tiredless. The climax was so awesome.
