Concert by Rajendra Kandalgaonkar
Rajendra Kandalgaonkar - Pandit Bhimsen Joshi's disciple visiting from Pune, India (Accompanied on the Tabla by Nikhil Phatak and the Harmonium by Rajiv Tambe, both of Pune)
The Artist
Rajendra Kandalgaonkar has been trained by some of the most renowned Gurus. At the young age of 7, he began his basic training in vocal music with Pandit Vishnu A. Ghag of the Gwalior Gharana. This spanned an intensive 18 years of training, from 1967 to '84. He then moved on, since 1980, to train under none other than the maestro of Indian Vocal Classical himself, Pandit Bhimsen Joshi of the Kirana Gharana. Complimenting this is his brilliant academic record as a student of music, wherein he has topped several examinations. He has performed at many well known concerts all over India, along with regular performances on Doordarshan (Indian television) and AIR (All India Radio) He has also been conferred the highest 'A' grade for Indian Vocal Music by AIR and Natya Sangeet (Marathi Stage Music).
Creative innovation in Hindustani classical music has been the key to Rajendra Kandalgaonkar's growth as an vocalist. Moving into the depths of the Raga, he understands and responds to its emotional environment and nature. As he evokes the 'alaap' of the raga, he builds a rapport with his audiences. With original thought in 'layakari' and 'taans', he performs, using his extensive experience in stage performances, and delivers, both, the expected and the unexpected. This attributes his singing, giving it a distinct and very attractive flavor.
