Puriya Dhanasri - Bhimsen Joshi

Post by KNV1955 »

I have never heard anything like this in my life so far,Absolue Sruti perfection; Sthana perfection & Gamaka perfection & amazing breath control at all speeds. Must have heard 10 times so far.

And there was a day in the US , When BJ was housed in the ground floor and KVN upstairs ( could be other way as well , since I read this story long ago). KVN is reported to have remarked exactly the same way.No wonder . :)

Bhimsen Joshi's breath control is super human. Flawless glides with perfection in every note he touches. Semmangudi would keep listening to him frequently & admired his voice. Incidentally there was a National Prog way back in 60's arranged by Dr Narayana Menon in Delhi where KVN sang first 45 min Pantuarali & Bhimsen Joshi sang next 45 min Puriya Dhanasri. I am unable to find the recording. Any way of getting from AIR archive
