Description

Tabla player Aneesh Pradhan presents in this concert recording, the rich solo repertoire for tabla through a series of select compositions in the popular rhythmic cycle Teentaal. Aneesh Pradhan’s recital on this album is marked by an aesthetic balance between effervescence and subtle modulations brought home through a series of traditional compositions conceived by great maestros of the past. The variety of compositions presented here stand witness to the multi-hued character of the repertoire that has developed in the major schools of tabla playing.

The aesthetically balanced harmonium accompaniment provided by Ajay Joglekar acts as an anchor through the entire performance, as it melodically marks out the rhythmic cycle of Teentaala for the soloist and listener alike.
