not really, just that musicians today are very mediocre. Also, very few people have been interested in classical music in every generation, this music never had or isn't meant to attract a mob.
Here are some sobering statistics. - Out of the 1900 odd "views" on this particular post thus far, less than 6% have heard the raga till the end. - Less than 43% of the 1900 made it past the first 43 seconds. - Less than 25% heard more than the first 3 minutes. - Less than 15% went beyond 15 minutes. - About 10% heard more than 30 minutes.
I agree that these statistics are surprising, but I wouldn’t worry too much about them. Music with this level of sophistication requires a level of informed appreciation that takes time to achieve; it is not available to everybody. Meanwhile, what a recording! A true jugalbandi, in which 2 plus 2 = 5 ….
I’m from Hungary and I had the pleasure of studying classical Indian music for many years in London’s Bharatya Vidya Bhavan institute. I learned in-depth about Carnatic and Hindustani music and learned to play the sitar and veena. I took kathak and bharatanatyam classes too, although music is more suited to me. It was nearly 20 years ago but I will treasure those times forever. Learning about various ragas, parts of compositions, talas and musical instruments really help appreciating the wonderful and very complex Indian music. I feel it is part of who I am today. ❤ This is a wonderful performance. ❤
@@r.c.g8272 It was in San Francisco. I did not attend as I was living in Los Angeles, but I heard about. As I recall 2nd Tabla player was a Sardarji. He was good,but have expired young. I will recall some day. I am 93 years and memory is not as sharp before.
There is an UVK/AAK Marwa that was recorded in 1978 as well, with Pandit Avtar Singh and Ustad Zakir Hussain on tabla. I am trying to figure out if this is a better recording of the same concert or a different one from the same tour - th-cam.com/video/gbLPW51lquA/w-d-xo.html Will post if I can figure out something.
Since the gat in the above recording seems to be in Puriya Kalyan, so I am inclined to infer that the recording Rameshbabu has kindly shared is the alap and the recording shared in my first response is the gat. Happy to be educated/corrected. The quality of Rameshbabu's recording is simply astounding !!
Current generation has lost capacity to focus and be patient. The average attention span is 6 minutes. This is heavenly music.

Many thanks for sharing this gem here! Beyond appreciation!
Thank you so much for sharing this. Magnificent music, unparalleled musicians

There were 2 Tabla players in this concert. One was Ustd Allah Rakha and I cannot recall the 2nd one. Please post if you know. Thanks
Were you present in this concert? Where was it held? This recording has no gats, as you can see.

I think this recording is the same as this one. If so, this was recorded at Berkeley - th-cam.com/video/fziA2wDbi1g/w-d-xo.html
This is an incomplete version of the alaap and some part of the gat - th-cam.com/video/maU_edcKW-0/w-d-xo.html

Sometimes komal rishabh is touching the borderline between Puriya and Marwa.
Hi, I couldn't play the video after a 3-second start.
Can you help?
