Tarun Bhattacharya, Vishwa Mohan Bhatt leave music lovers mesmerised with their electrifying performance
The two music icons of India got together on Mohan Veena and Santoor and mesmerized the audience on the banks of the Dhakuria Lakes in South Kolkata recently.
A jugalbandi between Pandit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, the maestro of the Mohan Veena, and Pandit Tarun Bhattacharya, the santoor virtuoso, is a mesmerizing confluence of melody and rhythm.
The legends, renowned for their technical brilliance and emotive depth, created a harmonious interplay between the rich, resonant tones of the Mohan Veena and the cascading, bell-like sounds of the santoor.
Jyotirmay Roychowdhury accompanied the legendary duo.
Their performance typically explored the intricacies of Indian classical ragas, blending traditional compositions with improvisational genius.
The jugalbandi showcased their mutual respect and camaraderie, with each musician responding to the other's musical phrases in a seamless dialogue.
The result was a spellbinding experience that highlighted the versatility of Indian string instruments, leaving audiences in awe of their artistry and the profound beauty of Indian classical music.
The concert also featured promising vocalist Shubhangi Dantale who was accompanied by Debasish Choudhury on Tabla and Shelly Roychowdhury on Harmonium.
The entire program was presented by Subhojit Roy.
The evening was hosted by the Calcutta Rowing Club in association with the Ministry of Culture, Government of India and PLAY ON organized the program.
