The Maihar gharana’s sarod connect
The Hindu
Abhisek Lahiri and Pt. Tejendra Narayan Mazumdar brought the gharana alive with their sensitive playing and choice of raags
With more than 100 performing artistes today, Maihar continues to be one of the most popular gharanas. Besides its identity as a sarod gharana (founder Ustad Allaudin Khan was a sarodiya), it is known for purity of raag, introduction of new raags, dhrupad alap, rigorous stroke work, and strong bhava content. The differences in the playing style of its past masters, such as Ustad Ali Akbar Khan, Pt. Ravi Shankar and Pt. Nikhil Bannerji, are testimony to the vast musical canvas the gharana offers.
It was a pleasure to hear two of the finest Maihar sarod players on the same day recently. Representing two generations, the concerts of both artistes are available online.
