Listen "S4E19: Tapasya"
Episode Synopsis
Raga framework in Indian Classical Music is said to be an ocean replete with mysteries & treasures. A Sangeet Saadhak (student of music) committed to a triad of Taalim (disciplined lessons), Riyaaz (diligent practice) & Adaakaari (authentic performance) gets a chance to experience these mysteries and treasures to bring them forth to their listeners. What is the relationship between Ragas and its Saadhak? What chemistry unfolds between them? What Tapasya (penance) both have to endure and what shape does it take in current times? To explore this subject and more, here’s a conversation with Yashaswi Sirpotdar, a renowned vocalist with a Sangeet Sadhana of nearly four decades. Her melodious singing has been well received across India including the prestigious Sawai Gandharva Music Festival. She carries forward rich legacies of her Guru Smt. Padmatai Talwalkar, a doyen of Hindustani Khyal music. This conversation is interspersed with brief impromptu recitations of Raga Des, Yaman, Miya-ki-Todi, Marwa and Bhairavi, sung live by Yashaswi.
