<p>The Hindustani recital of Warren Senders at the Bangalore International Centre recently was quite a treat to the music lovers. His extensive training in various gharanas like kirana and Gwalior gave the audience a glimpse of his effervescent style and knowledge. <br /><br /></p>.<p>The performance included various styles of gayaki like thumri, vilambhit, chota khayal and lok geeti. What really added to the performance was the variety in the rendition and strong voice.<br /><br />The performance began with raga purvi kalyan, where he sang a vilambhit and a teen taal in the same raga. Later in the show, he also sang a couple of folk songs and some other pieces in pahari. It was a crisp performance, wherein all the facets of his voice were showcased leaving the audience mesmerised.<br /><br />The way in which he sang the vilambhit spoke a lot about his knowledge in music. It was not just one gharana, which came through in his recital but an amicable combination of many styles.<br /><br />Music lovers like Sharada enjoyed the recital and was quite surprised to learn about his in-depth knowledge. <br /><br />“It was a great performance and even when he sang the higher and lower scales, he did not have to put in much effort. This shows that he is extremely skilled. It was an elaborate performance, we don’t get to hear such detail in most concerts now. He was in no hurry,” she says.<br /><br />The artiste had not only learned music under some very reputed artistes, he <br />has also developed a course material on the structure and aesthetics of Hindustani music and introduced this to students across the world. He is also a faculty at the New England Conservatory of Music. Dressed in classic style, his calm manner of singing was appreciated by the audience.<br /><br />Mansi, a young member of the audience, was quite impressed by the artiste. <br />“It was a pleasant surprise to see someone singing with so much dedication. It is commendable that he has adopted a foreign language and a style of singing with so much love and ease,’ she sums up. <br /><br />The recital concluded with some folk songs, which was a perfect way to end a musical evening.<br /></p>
