My absolutely favourite piece of music. Bhimsen Joshi the most masterful rendition of Miyan Ki Todi.
The bada khayal is the single most enticing piece of music I have heard. Change Nainon Waali… It is almost as though he is enticing the beautiful eyed one — and, i am guessing here, it is the Devi, to him.
and, then the absolutely jubilant Aeri Maayi aaj Shubh Mangal Gao. She heard his music, and came to him. And, the joy in his voice of attaining her.
This is bhakti rasa at it’s peak – you don’t know where the human ends, and the divine begins.
Everytime I hear this piece, my heart sings with joy.
This is part of the Siddhi collection – possibly the finest collection of his live concert performances.
