His understanding of music is beyond his age. It created a completely different kind of effect. Without Tabla it was much more effective. This too was liked by audience.Ĭoncert concluded with 'Bhairavi (भैरवी)'. He then presented famous bhajan of Kishori Amonkar 'Mharo pranam (म्हारो प्रणाम)' in Raag Yaman Kalyan (यमन कल्याण). Audience who knew the song loved it and who did not know liked it nevertheless. Then Milindji presented Marathi Natyageet 'Yuvati mana zale (युवती मना झाले)'. Milindji commented that the bandish he played was the original one without deviation as told by his Guru however what Yadnesh played was the version influenced by Kaushiki Chakraborty, which deviated from the original. He presented the immortal Thumri of Bade Gulam Ali Khan 'Yaad piya ki aye (याद पियाकी आए)' in Raag Bhinna Shadja (भिन्न षड्ज). Greedy audience (that included me too) demanded both. Then Milindji gave audience a choice of either Thumri or Natyageet. Both the violinists were applauded multiple times. Then he presented a Bandish of his Guru, Kishori Amonkar, 'Sahela re (सहेला रे)' in Raag Bhoop (भूप). Audience gave them a very long and big applause. At times when he wanted to play delicate notes he asked Bhushan to play soft tabla. Then he presented bandish 'Payaliya zankar (पायलिया झंकार) in same Raag. First he played aalap followed by madhyalay and drut compositions. Raag of the concert was Raag Puriya Dhanashri (पूरिया धनश्री). Yadnesh is his 15 year old son and disciple. Attendance to the concert was Raikar is disciple of Pt. Some were even standing.Īttended a concert of Milind Raikar (Violin) accompanied by Bhushan Rao (Tabla) & Yadnesh Raikar (Violin) organized by Anubhooti at ISC, Abu Dhabi, on 23rd Apr 2016. Temperature in the auditorium was low making it slightly uncomfortable. Other than a couple of minor irritations, sound system was good. There was no separate mic provided for Pakhawaj so sound of Pakhawaj was subdued. Prathamesh asked audience for a special applause for Parag. Parag, Abhay and Mahadev were good and played their role to perfection. He not only played these two roles but also played mentor to the young singers. Conducting the program was a delicious topping. He proved his worth as regular Harmonium player. He entertained the audience with his witty and crisp commentary, that sometimes bordered impertinence, and his Harmonium. However it appeared that he prefers forceful singing to delicate singing. He has no difficulty in achieving any note.
Prathamesh has a very good range and sings very well. Mugdha obviously had throat infection that impacted her voice. This was easily the best song of the program and deservedly received standing ovation.Ĭoncert ended with Bhimsen Joshi's Bhairavi (भैरवी) 'Aga Vaikunthichya raya (आगा वैकुंठीच्या राया)'.Īrtists should be applauded for resisting the temptation of presenting relatively recent popular songs, despite having young singers. It started with 'Ali thumkat nar (आली ठुमकत नार)' followed by Lawni (लावणी), 'Ugawli shukrachi chandni (उगवली शुक्राची चांदणी)', 'Anand potat mazya maina (आनंद पोटात माझ्या माईना)' and on demand 'Radha dhar Madhu Milind (राधा धर मधु मिलिंद)'.Ĭoming true on their promise Prathamesh presented Vasantrao Deshpande's 'Surat piya ki (सुरत पिया की)' and appended it with a power packed Tarana. The mood then changed to light and rhythmic songs. Then they presented a medley of songs from immortal 'Geet Ramayan (गीत रामायण)'. Mugdha presented Sudhir Phadke's 'Jiwlaga kadhi re (जीवलगा कधी रे)'. Vighnesh invited farmaish but when one was made for 'Surat piya ki' it was not taken but he promised to present it later.
He presented most famous 'Ghei chand makarand (घेई छंद मकरंद)'. Prathamesh was then given a choice of presenting any song or songs from famous Sangeet Natak 'Katyar Kaljat Ghusli (कट्यार काळजात घुसली)'. Mugdha presented Natyageet 'Khara to prema (खरा तो प्रेमा)'. First was famous naandis of Balgandharva 'Pancha tunda narrundamaldhar (पंच तुंड नररुंडमालधर)' by both singers and second was 'Jay Shankara (जय शंकरा)' of Pt. Parag, Abhay and Mahadev are UAE's local talent.Ĭoncert started with two naandis (नांदी). Prashant is a composer and keyboard player.
Prathamesh and Mugdha shot to fame a few years ago when they were the part of fantastic five of TV reality show 'Little Champs'. It was organized by Maharashtra Mandal Abu Dhabi at Indian Embassy Auditorium, Abu Dhabi, on 27th May 2016. Program was conducted by Vighnesh Joshi who also played Harmonium. Accompanied by Prashant Lalit (Keyboard), Parag Dhadphale (Tabla), Abhay Samant (Pakhwaj), Mahadev Phadte (Side rhythm and Tal). Singers Prathamesh Laghate and Mugdha Vaishampaian.
