Baithak literally means intimate house concert. This album presents master of swara or note and laya or rhythm, Kumar Gandharva in one mood. From dawn to dusk to midnight, the moods in human feelings keep changing. In its slow, serene course, raga Malkauns sung by the maestro in this album may denote or express deep thought. A whole concert was devoted to the artiste's exposition of Malkauns, which he did with as many as six bandishes. An innovation that angered the orthodox. |
