An evening of sombre moods

As the night set in, Harvinder’s Baageshwari lulled one into a reflective mood. The “alaap” saw the calibre of the artist, who has performed at some of the country’s famous music festivals such as the Harballabh Sangeet Sammelan in Jalandhar, emerge in clear hues. It was here that one heard the sitar without disturbance as afterwards the tabla played by Pawan Verma somehow lacked finesse. The “taal” seemed too loud for the occasion, the somberness of which was maintained again by Harvinder through his bhajan that wound up the evening.
