Notes
"Creative innovation in Hindustani Classical music has been the key to Rajendra Kandalgaonkar’s growth as an artist. Moving into the depths of the Raga, he understands and responds to the emotional environment and the nature of the raga. As he evokes the “alaap” of raga he builds a rapport with his audience. With original thought in “layakari” and “taans”, he performs with both the expected and unexpected surprises. This gives his singing a distinct and very attractive flavour. A strong groundwork in music through training Rajendra Kandalgaonkar has been trained by some of the most renowned Gurus. At the young age of 7 he began his basic training in vocal music from Pandit Vishnu A Ghag, of the Gwalior Gharana. This spanned an intensive 18 years, from 1967 to ’84. Since 1980, he has the good fortune of being a disciple of Bharatratna Pandit Bhimsen Joshi, of the Kirana Gharana. Matching this is his brilliant academic record as a formal student of music. He has topped the “Sangeet Alankar” in 1978-79, in the Akhil Bhartiya Gandharva Mahavidyalya Mandal, Mira’. He is principal in Sawai Gandharva Sangeet Mahavidyalaya, Pune." - https://rajendrakandalgaonkar.com/index.php/biography/ "Accompanying Harmonium with senior classical vocalists such as Pt.

The small, conical righthand drum is called the dayan and is used to created treble or tonal sounds. The larger, kettledrum-like lefthand drum is called the baya and is used for producing bass. The tabla owes its unique sound to the coat of syahi "tuning paste" applied to specific areas on the skin of each drum. The harmonium is a type of pump organ. This instrument generates sound by passing air over a vibrating metal reed inside of a frame. The air pressure in a harmonium is supplied by a hand pump and the intonation is controlled via a keyboard. The harmonium is an important instrument in many genres of Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi music. *Date listed refers to date of performance.
