Sharmistha Sen - Sitar IAM 1057 GBP8.99 Our Regular Price: GBP9.99 +10% off! Sharmistha Sen is one of the few female instrumentalists to have attained prominence in Indian Classical music. While India boasts of many female vocalists who are regarded as stars, there are few female instrumentalists who are regarded in the same light. Sharmistha (b.1942) began her studies at the age of seven and made her public debut when she was thirteen. She has won numerous awards and participated in many major music festivals in India. She has regularly broadcast from All India Radio and the Indian National Television network (Doordarshan). She concertized through Europe and the U.S. at several times during the last decade. During 1983-84, Sharmistha Sen was a faculty member in the School of Music at the University of Washington as an Artist-in-Residence. She is currently on the faculty in Daulat Ram College at Delhi University. Sharmistha's musical style was shaped by her early intensive work with her main teacher, Ustad Mushtaq Ali Khan and with Prof. D. T. Joshi, a disciple of legendary sitarist, Ustad lnayat Khan. Her later studies have been with Prof. Debu Chaudhuri, also a disciple of Mushtaq Ali Khan. The particular Senia style performed by Sharmistha Sen exhibits a tradition decidedly different from that of other major sitarists today. Musically, it is characterized by an extremely refined meend (portamento) and an overall shape of raga development reminiscent of the performance practices of the old masters of the sitar and distinguished by their fidelity to an assertively classicist attitude. Manoj Kumar Nagar accompanies Sharmistha Sen on the Tabla. Manoj Kumar Nagar (b. 1968), was initiated to the tabla by his father, Lachhman Singh, at an early age. He went on to learn tabla from Pandit L.C. Nagar of the Delhi Gharana, and later from tabla maestro Latif Ahmad Khan of the Delhi Gharana. In1986 he gave his first international performance when he was invited by Oslo University for music workshops. He has accompanied many well-known instrumentalists and vocalists, and has performed at the Gandharva Veda Music Festival held in Japan, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Korea and Thailand during 1988.
