Arvind Parikh - Sitar IAM 1056 GBP8.99 Our Regular Price: GBP9.99 +10% off! Pandit Arvind Parikh is one of India's foremost sitarists. With over 50 years of training under the living legend, Ustad Vilayat Khan, Arvind Parikh (b.1927) is not only the senior-most amongst the Ustad's disciples, but also a unique representative of the lmdad Khan Gharana (stylistic tradition). He has deployed his intellectual acumen to carve out an independent niche for his music within the Vilayat Khan framework, and to emerge as a powerhouse of impetus for the post-independence renaissance in Hindustani (North Indian) music. The world of Hindustani music knows him as a mature performing musician, a serious musicologist, an outstanding teacher, and an effective cultural administrator and ambassador. lndia's unique system of music education, designed for continuity within change, has allowed Arvind Parikh to develop a distinctive musical idiom. Parikh's music has a strong inclination towards the meditative and introspective aspect of Hindustani music, and is devoid of obvious showmanship in its presentation. His raga grammar reflects the meticulous rigour you would expect of a scholar-musician. His compositions represent a graceful integration of diverse musical ideas into an esthetically coherent experience. His forte are the alap (unstructured, free-Rowing part of a raga presentation) and the jhala (the crescendo at the end of a raga presentation) which is, in effect, an alap executed by the left hand, accompanied by a rapid 4-beat rhythmic sub-cycle executed by the right hand…Samiran Das, who accompanies on the Tabla, began to learn the art of playing tabla from Krishna Kumar Ganguly (Natu Babu) at the age of five. Samiran (b. 1959) was first in the All Bengal Tansen Music Competition in 1975 and was first in the All Indian Music Competition from All India Radio (Calcutta) in 1979. He appears regularly on TV. He has played at many music festivals and has accompanied such artists as Shrikant Bakre, Kalyani Roy and Soumitra Lahiri…On this recording, Arvind Parikh presents two ragas, Gunji Kauns, his own creation and Piloo, a popular raga of the romantic sentiment. In Gunji Kauns, Parikh presents a detailed alap-jod-jhala followed by a vilambit gat (slow composition) in teental of 16 beats, a gat in jalad rupak tal a brisk version of the 7 beat rhythm cycle and a drut (fast) gat in teental with a jhala appended to it. The Piloo is in two distinct parts. The first is an alap in Mishra (mixed) Piloo, rendered in the light thumri style, in which the artist takes several detours into other ragas, before returning to Piloo. The alap has to be heard as a stand-alone piece of music because it is followed, in the second part, by two compositions in the Enayet Khan style Piloo, set to drut teental and ending in a Jhala.
