Swar Utsav 2000 In the stunning open-air ambience of a specially erected stage at the Central Park in Connaught Place, some of the best and leading musicians from across the subcontinent gathered to give electrifying performances. In this five-day Long festival, in the session of Khayal - Scaling the classical heights, Kishori Amonkar, chose to sing at a special early morning concert. As the sun was rising over the trees, her searing voice intoned the meditative notes of the pentatonic raga Vibhas. The diva stuck to the traditional Jaipur- Atrauli version of this raga. She concluded the recital with a Rajasthani bhajan in the rare raga, Loor Sarang. |
