Shankar Mahadevan is one of his kind... He sings Hindustani, Carnatic, Folk, Pop, Jazz, Rock etc... He sings in Marathi, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, etc... His pronounciation in every language is spot-on. You will never see anyone complaining about his pronounciation. He is probably the most versatile singer we have in India. Really don't know why people don't acknowledge him as a singer in the league of Kishore, Rafi, SPB, Yesudas. Maybe, he is in his own league.

I've learnt Bharatanatyam, where I danced on the Carnatic classical songs and learnt Hindustani classic music also. In my opinion, Carnatic music is really great for dancing - full of beats (especially Mridangam) and Hindustani classical is better for listening - it touches my heart.

@ashwinmiyer6159 2 жыл бұрын

It all depends on personal taste actually. Hindustani compositions touch my heart too but some Carnatic pieces are amazing too. It's a tough choice but I'll go for Hindustani if i have to choose one. But it really depends on personal taste. Carnatic alapana is much more complicated than Hindustani alaps. My friend's grandmother says that Hindustani can never match Carnatic.

As a student of both, do you like any form better than the other, me being just a listner, I like the Carnatic better cos it has the gamakas and the oscillation that allows more improvisations for the same ragam I feel, atleast that a non educated ear can catch. My wife is a hindustani student however, I find it somewhat bland comparatively, I may be wrong. What do ya say?

@ashwinmiyer6159 3 жыл бұрын

@@ninjusripada I'm a layman in music but lover of both styles... Through you've asked the question to someone else, I hope I can put forward my views too. I feel Hindustani classical aalap is comparatively simpler and Carnatic alapanai gets complex within the first 2 minutes of the piece. However, the main piece, the song, I feel, is tougher in Hindustani than Carnatic. Hindustani just has 2 main lines and 2 lines of the antara, and the singer has to stretch it for a long time, with less importance to lyrics and more importance to swars and taans. The concept of taans with "aaa" to any line is almost completely absent in Carnatic as far as I know. Carnatic songs have a lot of lyrics and the song part of Carnatic is comparatively simpler according to me. However, the singer can make at complicated by using styles such as Neraval.

@@ninjusripada I’m a student of both for a while. What might appear bland in Hindustani is actually meditative. Focusing on a single sur, slow alaap, repetitive phrases give a feeling that is similar to hours of meditation. Carnatic is relatively more dazzling in that sense. It’s the difference between going on a cruise ship vs vacationing in San francisco. I’ll take both :)

Today I chanced to view this. Shri Shankar Mahadevan tried to simplify the complexity for the benefit of uninitiated listeners. Musicologically, both the systems evolved from one basic fundamental practice and theory of music but got established as two significant 'Class' of Indian Classical Music. Karnataka Sangitam's great musicologists and practitioners contributed to create music complete 'rasa'nubhavam, rich experience of essence of melody and aesthetic supported by Svara, pure note and AnuSvara, micro note (s) in relation with its nearest pure note(s)-Seven-Twelve-Sixteen notes which encompasses whole music world, of any kind and variety. Karnataka Sangitam has Vilamba kala, contemplative laya; Madhyama kala, equipoise between contemplative and turita; Turita kala, fast and super fast laya-patterns of music in chalana, movement which takes the support of raga bhava; sahithya bhava; laya bhava to create rasanubhavam. Serious student, scholar and practitioner acquiring 'reasonable' level of skills, like Shankar Mahadevan, in Karnataka Sangitam's Lakshya, knowledge acquisition through listening experiences and Lakshya, theoretical knowledge, can easily understand, musically, any kind and forms of world music, Hindustani Music, no exception and can make even 'impromptu' performance. I am consciously avoiding to dwell on detailed differences of Lakshya and Lakshana aspects-musicological in both the systems. I want to clear the misconception that movement of slow and fast, pure note and oscillations of notes are the differences between Hindustani and Karnataka Sangitams. This is based more on the evolved and conventions in 'cutcheri' formats meeting the challenges of compression of quality time investment by the connoisseurs and patrons demands. It would have been great if Shri Shankar Mahadevan presented a composition of thrayee kalams-Vilamba-Madhya-Turita in both the systems to establish both unity and diversity; commonality and uncommonality.

Before invasions, throughout India, only carnatic style prevailed. Essentially, it's not called carnatic style. The traditional Indian classical music was revived in Karnataka and was done by Shri Purandardassuru. So, it's called carnatic style. Otherwise, throughout India, it was same. Northern part of India was subjected to invasions. These invasions were not only by conquest, but were also cultural. So, music got divided.....

Yes Carnatic is much harder than Hindustani, even Kaushiki Chakraborty said so and she is a very great Hindustani singer. That's why you find Carnatic singers can make the transition into Hindustani so easily because it isn't something new to master but just to transition. But if you ask a Hindustani singer to sing Carnatic they would have to go learn the structures and complexities or they won't cope. I found Hindustani more graceful and soulful, that's why you could feel taken to another dimension but Carnatic is more technical and difficult. Ask Zakir Hussain where his real technical training came from.. The Carnatic side, not the Hindustani.
