Eternal Rhapsody: Absolutely Melodious

I wish I could call this performance a five star PLUS. This is absolutely an amazing performance of one of the leading vocalist of our times. Punditji is known for character, integrity and purity of his music and this is wonderfully demonstrated with a choice of some of the best ragas. "Soon le Ho Araj Mora" in raga Shree (Vilambit Khayal in Jhaptaal), and "Kahe Dar Paun Main" (Drut Khayal in Ektaal) is simply astounding. His renderings have a great depth, range and it is intensely melodious. It is highly persuasive when he uses his voice like a finely tuned musical instrument. This is well illustrated in his compositions in ragas Marwa and Gauri.

Pundit Vyas was educated and trained by Pundit Gavin Rao Bhatambrekar of Kirana Gharana, Pundit Mirashibua of Gwalior Gharana and Pundit Jagannathbua Purohit of Agra Gharana. The instructions received from three popular gharanas produced a top notch performer and a gifted composer.
