Its just not about music. Its just not about how some people do music so well. Its about everything related to an evening where you are mesmerized enough to start thinking about the highs and the lows. Of music notes predominantly. The Mohan Veena and the accompanying tabla do wonders. The Alaap and the Jugal bandi. The composition that won the Grammy. And then you start smiling, in a somewhat weird manner but may be at the most appropriate time.
Initially you wait. You wait for the music to reach the peaks and the troughs. You wait for the appropriate time to applaud. But after some time, the applause loses meaning. Cause by then, a state called trance overwhelms everything, everybody. Thats when perhaps even the credentials of the artist - Padma Shri, Grammy Award and much more - don't matter.
Thats all that could be told about Pandit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt's concert at IIMK today.
Well done Spic Macay@K!
