We should not forget that on two occasions Mallikarjun Mansur was chosen by the Guru. Once by Nilkanthbuwa Alurmath, and another time by Ustad Manji Khan. In the first case he was just about 11-12 years old and singing in dramas. In the second case he was about 24 years old and had six years training under Nilkanthbuwa. These both masters would not have selected a pupil unless they had seen seeds of greatness in him.

Pt Mallikarjuna Mansoor is a phenomenal singer. It is amazing that south India produced such renouned Hindustani singers

I am from Dharwad Karnataka, hearing his Sangit since 1965, now daily hobby, great perfection and involvement, gem of Jaipur Autroli Gharana.

I am an ardent admirer of Pandit Mansur. Coming from Dharwad, Karnataka, his home town, had the good fortune of listening to him many times live and grew up listening to him on Akashvani Dharwad. This is one of my favourites.

I must have been in 9 or 10 standard, when Papa bought MusicToday's "Evening Ragas" single cassette. It cost 60-65 INR then.. pretty handsome amount in those days.. the album featured this masterpiece in Raag Nand, Ustad Amjad Ali Khan - Shyam Kalyan and Pt. Rajan & Sajan Mishra - Raag Pooriya Kalyan. Worth every paise so paid...

Seems effortless singing..and the landing on the sam in each taal cycle is so enchanting... wah..panditji...naman..

Good to read comments from the music lovers and fans of the Great Mansurji. My own view is that Mansurji was and remains probably the Greatest Khyal Vocalist. Of course this is a subjective judgement. I confess that if Ido not listen to his voice at least once a day I get 'withdrawal symptoms'!

The mithas of raag nand in Mansur anna's sweet voice...bliss!

Forty years ago, I had the fortune of listening to him in Ahmedabad and since then I collected several cassettes and other CDs etc. I followed him wherever possible and listened to him. My last listening him was in Lucknow where I was working. Since my mother is also Kannadiga (I rarely speak Kannada as only a few Kannadigas were there in Lucknow) I gatecrashed to the stage and introduced in Kannada. He was so happy and thrilled to talk to a Kannadiga in Hindi heartland. He offered me Tea and also bidi which I gladly accepted. He spoke to my wife very affectionately and it was unforgettable moment. As badluck would have been his leaving this music world was not known to me immediately. One Saturday on the National Programme of Hindustani Music on his memory (having left heavenly abode recently) they paid respects and homage by broadcasting 90 minutes choicest of his rendering. I immediately took my vintage tape recorder and the entire concert was recorded which I have kept for posterity.

In raag Nand the master shows how delicate he can be in singing.

He is one of the Hindustani classical singers whom I cherish. He takes hold right after the first 'sa'. Along with Gangubai, Bhimsen and Kumar Gandharva he is a member of the unmatched KANNADA QUARTET.

I do not have words to express... first heard this way back in Tape era when India Today sold the tapes in music appreciation series ... Have been returning to it very often yet it amazes me each time I listen to this brilliant rendering..superb....bliss......May his soul rest in peace....

An elegant, eloquent and melodic raga with a touch of folk tune, Raga Nand is ethereal to listen to and no one has perfected it like my favourite musician Pandit Mallikarjun Mansur. It’s appeal is instantaneous and carries a a touch of fragility

Very jabardasta Gayaki shata shata prana m to. Panditji

Great !! This Nand Raaga gave me Amitha Aanand , , Baaje Sayya , Sakala vana dhundun na pave Sayya ,,?? Beautiful , beautiful , Pranaam to Pandit Mallikarjun Mansur ji

Thanks for the upload. Pt. Mansoor's singing is very unique and I have been listening to these recordings again and again.

why this music hits my heart, i do not know.

Amazing , Pt.ji makes the taan rendition sound so simple and even the raag so easy, the amount of knowledge is so immense. It is our wealth 🙏🏼❤. We are blessed.

ढूंडू बारे सैया तोहे सकल बन बन । बिधना तिहारी कोउ ना जाने देहो दरस मोरे प्यारे [दरस बिन तिहारे]

All time legend pt ji

great presentation of raga nand by Pandit Mallikarjun Mansur . Kumar Gandharv also rendered this raga in a beautiful way .

Beautiful.

Recently discovered and loving.

outstanding,real master of harmony.

The breath control..just meditative to listen and soak in

Thanks for your comment. Mansurji was and remains one of the Greatest Khyal Vocalists.

But for melodious Pt. Mallikarjun Mansoor and Kumar Gandharva's towering contribution, many ragas would have been a part of history long ago.

मुखबंद तान 17.06 - 17.17.....
