I have listened to several recordings of Pt. Bhimsen Joshi singing 'Changey Naina' in Miyan Ki Todi between the mid-1950s and late 1980s. This Amaravati performance easily stands out as the most majestic and intense version (even by his lofty standards). 'Taan Kaptan' which follows in Drut (52:51) is simply electrifying. One can only imagine the weighty atmosphere that must have enveloped the audience during the live concert.
All I can say is, "Main to tumharo daas, janam janam se" Panditji. Thank you for giving us a lifetime of divine music! And thank you Raju Asokan ji for sharing this masterpiece.
This Concert took place in Indoor stadium of Hanuman Prasarak Mandal Amravati (Maharashtra) in January 1980.I am fortunate that I listened this concert live and still have those memories in my mind.That day everyone was in heavens.
What a performance. Stupendous sculpture of Todi. The Naad created by him keeps on ringing in one's not only ears but in the whole body. It permeates all pores of our body and it becomes like a running fork vibrating with the sound of the his voice. Simply sublime.
In Marathi language one sentence I heard many a times uttered by Audiance after completion of Raga ie "Kaan " (Ear) Trupta (satisfied) Zale" (Fulfilled with happiness)!! That is the effect after listening Bhimsen Jodhi's Very unique way presentation of any Raga!!
Amravatikars would have been really proud to host him. And I can feel the hard core followers of classical music giving 'daad' at every delicate 'harkat' and 'taan'. Very unfortunate for Amravati, which has lost its hunger and craving for classical music and dramas and hardly any classical program gets organized.
+Mahesh Pande Your post brought fond memories of our stay in Amravati. Incidentally my father Keshavrao Savarkar, who was a classical singer himself, was very active in Amravati Sangeet Kalopasak Sabha (along with Dr.Asnare) and gave a platform to many upcoming artists. Thanks Jyoti
Those days are gone where a person was allowed to be remain dedicated to classical music. Worship of Saraswati was their main passion. Money was secondary. And the needs from the family were met through the small income. Today there are pressures to give up the art forms and become more proficient in mundane professions. This is a great disservice to ourculture. The rate race has harmed our culture to no end.
Those were the "Golden days" when top most classicist like Pandit Bimsen Joshi; Ustad Ammerkhan sahab; Kishori Amonkar's programme used to be arranged invariably in prominent cities; especially Pandit Bimsen Joshi had in his mind four to five ragas which he used present almost continuously . There after Panditji float one or two L.P.s ie cut his ragas in L.P. record. Afterwards rarely he used sing the same ragas in his 'Mahafil'.That was his speciality.I think Pandit Bimsen Joshi is the only one Topmost Vocalist who has cut maximum L.P.s those days. Here Ustad Zakir Hussain has given the best presentation in Tabla! ! Thanks for uploading such "Marvelous music piece"!!
I have heard this composition performed at Aurangabad. way back in 1980's. This was one of the most memorable concert. I always Miyan Ki Todi as that concert.
There is a boyish enthusiasm and youthful energy in a spontaneous flow. It is at once a great control and yet there are moments when it is as if he is on autopilot letting his masterfully crafted art express itself so that control is not apparent. Unique concert about which he himself must have felt happy and fulfilled.
Have been hearing this for many many years and has always waited every detail and nuance with "ootkantha" and felt fulfilled once again with this pure joy which no other source provides.
what i have observed that videos are better than audios alone. there fascial expressions and performances are pleasure to watch. bad luck to them that videos were not as simple as on today
Will remain indebted to this great artist for giving us an unusual experience. His hard work over the years has reached a level of musical peak which we can experience only by their grace.
I fan follower of panditji. He use to visit Dharwad which was his origen place.He use to give maximum concerts here.so we were lucky to see & listen to him here at Dharwad in private & public functions.Day& night concerts were orginsed.Many a times we listened at late nights also.we proud of him.He is an misminser of the audience
Shukriya Sri Asokan for uploading miyan ki Todi. Amazing. aisa nee lagate the. Perhaps in discernible audience concerts, Panditji used to be in more than his usual ecstatic renditions. Miyan ki Malhar elsewhere (in video) is a must watch. Ram k Sharma.
Awesome. just amazing. Wonder who are the acccompanists. Also shocked that there are 25 Thumbs Down. These must be by peopleo have yet to understa high quality classical music.

Asokanji even you are doing great job for Indian classical music to upload great metro live performance in past but always not naming sanat artist names are doing injustice toward them. They are also equally great artists. Pl.take care to give names
Someone please make me understand the essence of this kind of music/song , I try to feel these songs but fail to get what other people are so glad about ... or do i need to have a technical knowledge of classical songs ?
Classical music is not for everyone, the essence in this particular Raag is of mystery, sadness, and other gloomy feels, like a fawn after it takes birth, scared, confused, it knows life so little. Only very few people are able to bring out the essence in a Raag, Pandit ji here is a master at that, amongst the technicalities and grammar of a Raag he also is able to put forward the "essence" which is very important, because without emotions it's not art. Having classical knowledge helps, but it clicks with people at the very first go as well, and some take years, highly subjective,but a deep and very poetic topic all together to dive into, take your time, watch demo videos where they explain why and how's , what brings out what, listen to different raags , see what makes you feel happy, what makes you feel anxious, what puts you to peace, what makes you feel energetic, there's an ocean out there
@@adityanautiyal7710 wow... You articulated it so perfectly 👌🏻👌🏻😇😇 I always fall short of words to explain the essence of classical music to the non-classical music listeners. But now onwards I'll try and explain it in the way you have done it... 😊💙
@@ajayr7346 Classical music, in simple words, is playing with the swaras of a particular Raga in a given cycle of a Taal, eg. here Ektaal (12 beats) and Teentaal (16 beats) keeping in mind the traditional norms and conditions of the Raga. And coming on/showing the Sam (1st beat of the Taal) everytime elegantly. Start listening to Hindustani classical music and after a while you'll understand the importance and beauty of the Sam! Also, if you listen to any traditional classical rendition, you will find a gradual progression in the speed/tempo of Raga presentation which creates excitement in the listeners and curiosity of what is coming next! 😇 Classical music is a never-ending journey, full of self reflection, introspection, divinity, void as well as fulfillment and surprises... once you enter this journey, there's no going back! 😊 Happy listening ✌🏻

"Troopta" is how one feels when this potion of rich sound is once again embedded in our entire body right up to the bone marrow.
