I am listening to Bhimsenji's Malkauns since, 1975, when I was 8 years old. My Dad used to play it at night before sleeping. Today I listened to this performance for the first time. I don't have words to explain the beauty of it.

पंडित जी को साक्षात् सुनने का अवसर मुझे कभी नहीं मिला लेकिन रेडियो पर उनको बचपन से सुना है. उनके विलक्षण गायन को सुनने की पिपासा में कोई कमी नहीं आई है. मैं उन सज्जन का धन्यवाद करना चाहता हूँ जिन्होंने youtube पर पंडित जी की दुर्लभ रिकॉर्डिंग को सभी श्रोताओं के लिए सुलभ करवाई है. बहुत बहुत साधुवाद.

प्राचिन ऋषिमुनियोने जिस प्रकारसे अत्यंतिक अभ्यास और तपश्चर्यासे सृष्टीके सौंदर्य और रहस्यको देखा,दिखाया ईश्वरके स्वरुपको जाननेका प्रयास कीया विश्वरहस्य की खोज की उसी परंपराका ध्वज पंडीतजीने आजन्म लहराया और जतन कीया.कीसी गंभीर अनुष्ठान की तरह रागोको श्रद्धापूर्वक गाया, समझा और समझाया, इनके अनंत उपकार है भारतीय श्रोताओ पर.

Like how a river starts with shyness, And then meanders slowly, And then becomes energetic in valleys, and rushes, Into a great waterfall with a mighr and roar of lion, And, combining all other rivers into itself, swelling, Finally joining the ocean of oneness... Oh, what a vision you gave us, through the rendering of this raga, Of the Almighty behind our limitedness!

The Singer of the millennium, God's gift to Bharat! We should all feel blessed that we could listen to this phenomenon called Bhimsen!

It is irrelevant to say, what a performance, brilliant, heavenly etc etc... because, Bheemanna is synonymous to God of music. There's no denying that. We can't merely thank him for that. On the contrary, we should be thankful to all those who accompanied him while singing, all those who preserved this audio, Raju ji for uploading. Special thanks to Pt Appa Jalgaonkar ji and Ustad Ghulam Rasool ji. For them, we can fing God whenever we want. It's that simple.

My special thanks to Raju Asokan ji for bringing us one of the finest renderings of Bharat Ratna Pandit Bhimsen Joshi. 😊

Because my father and panditji were childhood friends from gadag. I remember.

What a perfect blend of texture and grandeur of this mid-night raag !! I heard this raag by Panditji (with same set of accompaniment) for the first time at Pandharpur (my native place) in May 1965 when I was barely 10 years old.This musical mehfil was organized by my father-a high school teacher and his photographer friend late Balu Ruplag...My father was extremely lucky to have life-long friendship with Panditji...and also with Appa Jalgaonkar...

Only and only few greats can do justice to key Ragas like Malkauns, Darbari, Todi, Puriya, Kalyan, Bahar, Yaman and Bhairavi. Panditji is one of those few greats who could do justice to all these key Ragas. When I say justice, I mean absolute mastery. Hats off to Panditji. This is simply the best...Pranaam!

Ordinary mortals like me can only listen and enjoy the flow of divine music rendered by Panditji.. mesmerizing..

I am a fan of Carnatic Classical Music. However, occasionally I listen to the best exponents of Hindustani Classical Music also. This Malkauns ( Hindola in Carnatic style) piece by our Joshi Saheb is simply superb. My heart fills with pride to say that we, in Karnataka, have exponents of both styles. Bhimsen Joshi is our man.

Taans start from 18:33 Magic from 25:50 and 30:00 Pandit jee always beyond imagination 🙏🏻🙇🙇🙏🏻

राजू अशोकन जी,आपका हजार बार भी धन्यवाद करना, कम, बहुत कम होगा। आपने भीमसेन जोशी व श्रीमती किशोरी अमोनकर की वे दुर्लभ रचनाएं अपलोड कर, हमारा भाग्य चमका दिया जिनके कारण ये विभूतियाँ शीर्स्थल पर बरसों रहीं पुन: धन्यवाद/ आभार

What crazy, powerful taans! :D Awesome, legend stuff. Having said that, it is sad to see people saying stuff like 'how can anyone dislike this?' It is a bit immature to think that what you like is universally lovable and that someone has a compromised aesthetic sense if they dislike what you like.

I don't have words which can reach to my regards to the uploader. Very rare piece. In this rendering PanditG surpassed his ownself. Requesting to listeners, off every sounds even noises, level-up ur heart in a calm & heavenly position. Then u will realize that what PanditG expressed. My assumption, on that day, he was in heartache, that came out from his every note. what a depth in feeling & expressions. I have been listening him since 2000. Absolutely rare piece.

A person who can enjoy music has to be half musician! It is again a gift of God! everyone doesnot have.

What an awesome masterpiece!!! The voice timbre, the flow, and the speed are amazing. Add to that the charm of listening to a recording that probably dates back to the pre-independence era!!! A million thanks to Raju Asokan ji...

This seems to be a Bhimsenji's younger days performance on Aakashvani ( All India Radio ) What a great performance ! Mesmerising Malkauns ! I have this more than 100 times !

Pandit Bhimsen Joshi ,sang many ragas from 5 minutes to about an hour ,with his unbelievable ,miraculas & interesting styles.He sang all types of kinds of vocal music with great proficiency. He truely deserves ' Bharat ratna 'Prize.

Short of words to describe aptly the magical singing of our beloved panditji .

How can somebody dislike this ??? The person disliked has no music in his life I guess......the most beautiful Malkauns by Pt Bhimsen Joshiji ever !!!!

Pandit Bhimsen Joshi and Pandit Jasraj are Sarswati Putra. Only gandharvas have the qualities to sing like this and move masses. Lucky to have heard both of them singing live sitting just a few feet away. My heart felt thanks to Asokan for uploading this track. -Pavan Kallurkar on behalf of my father

छोटा ख्याल तो बहुत ही achha है. Become spellbound.

Pranam 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

That’s a hell of a back up singer. Bhimsen. Ji is also a great teacher I guess.

Cant express,Only tears in the eyes..

Twice, I could enjoy his live performance at Dharwad and Kundgol in 1979-80. That experience can't be explained by words. Some of his style of singing not heard on any recordings at very low pitch.

This is amazing. One of the better recording of this raag. Why would thumbs down this?

भारतरत्न पण्डित भीमसेन जोशी जी को सादर नमन 🙏

Fantastic rendition of malkauns by pt.bhimsen joshi.spectacular performance.perfect best n grade above one artist n vocalist .my heaty salute to him.

Waah Waah Waah !!!! Great ...Very lucid malkauns!!! Unmatchable..... Panditji's malkauns is different and mysterious ...

Heavenly. All music maestros like Hariprasad Chaurasia, Amjad Ali khan, Pt. Shiv Kumar, Pt.Jasraj, Kishori Amonkar, N. Rajam, Zakir Hussain et al deserve Bharat Ratna. This is the true way of maintaining Indian Cultural Traditions, unparalleled. We are sick of Politics off late. At my old age, I am seeking solace in what India produced and can produce in any field be it Music, Science, Sports.

A Lion in Winter...Incomparable..divine energy..what else we can ask for..we call him proudly.." Bhimanna"

This performance is hight , of rag malkuns , no body can match.🙏 pandit ji.

A Godly rendition beyond capacity of earthly humans, by the real God of Bhartiya Shashtriye Sangeet unparallel(Bharat Rattan Pt. Bhimsen ji) on this planet.No words enough to describe this heavenly ethereal blissful beauty of this Raag. Dislikers of such beauty are innocent beings of no level, deserve to be excused or executed publicly with sharpest words of advice. How can they dislike this God of music, I wonder?

Very very nice raag and fantastic one I regularly hearing it.hatsoff to pt.bhimsenji

One can see God! Anything this moving is unlocking something indescribably beautiful in the listener's mind. How can such beauty not be God himself?

DON BRADMAN OF HINDUSTANI CLASSICAL MUSIC...UNMATCHED SUPREMO

Must be circa 1965" ish, Pandit ji in his very prime, there is no place where his voice couldn't reach, could take off from wherever to anywhere, absolutely legendary stuff ! The drut, " Rangaraliya karat Sautan ke" is once in a century kinds. So complete, so replete with the range he possessed. Also please note, during that period he was singing in a much higher scale than that in his later years.

Thanks for uploading such a wonderful classical music sung by respected भारत रत्न पं भीमसेन जोशी जी ।

Heaven heaven. Heaven...no comments... God is singing

the best malkauns I have herd so far

Awesome. I have no words to describe this legend. But, I pity the sense of music of those 73who have given thumbs down to him.

Joshiji's Malkauns like a rain falls, fantastik aalaap 😊👍👌💐

we are only blessed to hear this, feel proud that I have heard pandiitji live

In drut ...his hold on tempo of taal is simply mesmerising.No scope for tabalchi to go here and there.

his talent is beyond the capacity of human

simply mesmerizing rendition of malakauns by Panditji.

Such divine rendition is possible only when an unparalleled genius is guided by a devout soul.

Some of Panditji's most inspired singing. Thanks for sharing.

Words are unable to express,,,what a beauty!

Bhimsenji is the one and only my favorite

It absolutely remembers me hubli glass house program , my age was hardly 1 4 to 5 ..

Oh my god...every swar is of more than 10tons of weight...!! This is really out of this world!!

Anna the great. Our God. Natmastak ...

THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU WON'T LIKE TO LISTEN TO ANY RENDITION OF MALKAUNS BY ANY OTHER ARTIST AFTER LISTENING TO THIS RENDITION....ADDICTED...

Chhota khyal starts from 34:04

Heavenly feelings ... have no words to express happiness

as i remember i had a chance to listen panditji in one documentry singing in scale 5, tanas and aalapi was so high that nobody could imagine that was shown in national archives documentries on dordashan era. iwill be blessed if somebdy could upload it again.......

Breathtakingly beautiful!
