Vathapi Ganapathim | Rakesh Chaurasia & Shashank Subramanyam Flute | Raag Hansdhwani REACTION!!

WHat other videos should we react to?

The sound quality of the microphones was so bad... it didn't do justice to the quality of music they were producing..

Indian classical music, instruments, and classical dances are very underrated in the outside world...even if I am an Indian and have been listening to these instruments since childhood, I still make the same surprised faces that korbin and Rick just made, every time I hear it.

The guy playing in the left Pt Shashank Subramanyam was a child prodigy and now a legend. He is self taught flute(venu) player. Later he learnt music from legend Dr Palghat K.V. Narayanaswami (Carnatic vocalist) and legend Pt Jasraj(Hindustani clasical Vocalist). He applied those learning on his flute and developed his style and he is now legend in his own right and unique flute player. Just to add some facts he got a scholarship at the age of 4 years which was meant for 14 years old students. He started performing on stage at the age of 6....

Classical music requires lifelong dedication. Practice, practice, practice. Sacrificing everything else. That's how they achieve such levels of mastery.

Jalsa means a gathering or a banquet....it means a party! This truly was a....jalsa

The raga Hamsadhwani in which this Song is composed (dedicated to Lord Ganesh), is a derived scale from The parent raga Shankharabharanam (equivalent to the western Major scale). You can try singing this raga by yourself by omitting the 4th and 6th note from the Major scale. Just do basic patterns using the notes on a piano and you can produce a similar effect to Hamsadhwani when it's actually sung with gamakas.

Whenever i listen to someone playing flute i am like 😍 So soothing yaar

Shashank is from my school one year older than me, so proud! I learnt to sing this song when I was 8. It is a tough one, to say the least!

In flute, the scales shall be changed with the intensity you blow it. The amazing thing Shri Subramnyam ji done here is changing those scales without breaking the breath and without making us feel he is changing his blowing intensity with no much action from fingers (he shifted two scales) is legendary.

I walk around with my headphones on, when there is classical content, totally ignoring calls for breakfast...😜 Requesting AGAIN for classical content to have its own playlist...🙏

Earlier you had reacted to Yesudas singing the same composition. Here we see a different treatment , beautiful and vibrant, though here these two artists only dealt with the first four lines and then directly went on to play with the notes. 😘😘

korbin : That was his freakin fingers man rick : imagine from F major to B minor 😂

Gorgeous. I love all your reactions but your instinctive response to the classical and semi classical music is so pure 🙏

You really should watch Darbar Festival clips of these guys, where the sound production is 10/10

Thank you so much for cherishing our culture and heritage and also thank you for reminding us that we should be proud of them too❤️❤️🙏🙏

the percussionists were out of the world.... also... wow. just wow.

Holy moly incredible India 🙏🙏🇮🇳

Divine! Wow! Took good a concert. What a combination of North and South.👍🏼👍🏼

Music has only one language, I feel happy you are able to understand and appreciate it, thank you. No I am not a musician, but just enjoy the happiness it gives.
