Tarang's 2nd - Sarang Kulkarni


Tarang presents  Sarang Kulkarni's Sarod concert which leaves   Hyderabadi's spell bound .
 "Tarang " a  not for profit forum  to promote  and introduce  the young jewels  of Indian classical music,  featured Sarang Kulkarni on 25 Sept 2011 at the comfortable Shantha Auditorium in Sunshine Hospital , Secunderabad.
Sarang Kulkarni  a young  20 year old and gifted Sarod player from Pune , began  his concert  with Raag Madhuvanti .The  alaap  Jod and jhala could  bring out  the haunting melody of  this evening raaga .The vilambit  drut  composition sent audience into raptures several times due to the perfect co- ordination with the accompanying Tabla artist Shri Hari jit singh. who drew repeated applause.
Sarang next played a Hori (with the backdrop of holi in mathura),  which was a bouquet of melody  reminding one  of the by gone era of  Girija devi and Begum Akhtar"s  whose  rendition "Holi khelat Nandlala" can never be forgotten.
Sarang Switched to light classical  after the break  and played his own composition in mishra pahadi  the melody  raag of the Himalayas.Sarang followed this up  with a composition in Raag Des and  then with Gandhi ji s favorite Bhajan "Vaishnava Janate" in which he innovated several bandish with the Harijit  providing a perfect percussion  support.
He concluded with a  very innovative composition in mishra Bhairavi which left the audience  spell bound and  the music lovers showering this youngster with blessings and greetings.
Harijit  on Tabla and Sarang on Sarod were a perfect match in style , charm , talent, rhythm and melody and with eyes closed it felt that Zakir and  Ustad Amjad Ali AkbarKhan were performing .

 A very wonderful even by Tarang indeed and this gifted 20 year old maestro will indeed grow to be rated amongst  India's best Sarod Players in the very near future
