Parmeshwar Hegde (Vocal)

Attended a concert of Pt. Parmeshwar Hegde (Vocal) accompanied by Pt. Sadanand Nayampalli (Tabla - Farrukabad Gharana) and Sudhir Nayak (Harmonium - P.Madhukar Gharana) at 39th Sangeet Samrat Alladiyakhan music festival on 7th April 2016.

Parmeshwar Hegde (Kirana, Gwalior and Patiyala Gharana) hails from Bengaluru and is disciple of Pt. Basavaraj Rajguru.

First Raag of the concert was Raag Bihag (बिहाग). He went directly to bandish 'Kaise sukha sove (कैसे सुख सोवे)', with minimum aalap, in Vilambit Ektaal. Tabla instrument had some trouble and had to be tuned repeatedly. I especially liked his delicate taar swar (तार स्वर). It was followed by Tarana 'Ta da re dhim (त दा रे धीम)'.

He presented famous Bandish 'Binati suno mori (बिनती सुनो मोरी)'. Although he did not announce the Raag, it was Raag Bageshri (बागेश्री). His Taans (तान) and Aakars (आकार) were very good. He followed it with 'Sargam (सरगम)'.

Concert concluded with another composition in Raag Bageshri (बागेश्री) in Teen taal (तीन ताल);  'Badra tu ja (बदरा तु जा)'.

Pt. Nayampalli played subdued Tabla in supporting role. He did not smile even once during the concert.

Harmonium of Sudhir Nayak was excellent and was appreciated by audience and artist alike. Too good.

Concert lasted for about 1 hr 10 min.

Entertainment rating 8/10.
