ज्येष्ठ हार्मोनिअम वादक अप्पा जळगावकर यांचे निधन

ज्येष्ठ हार्मोनिअम वादक अप्पा जळगावकर यांचे आज सकाळी ६ वाजता वृद्धापकाळाने निधन झाले. ते ८७ वर्षांचे होते.

जालन्यात जन्मलेल्या अप्पा जळगावकर सुरूवातीला ध्रुपद गायकी करायचे. ४० वर्षांपूर्वी ते पुण्यात आले आणि पुण्याचेच होवून गेले. ध्रुपद गायकीच्या मैफीलमध्ये सुरूवातीला त्यांचे मन रमायचे. नंतर त्यांनी हार्मोनियम वादनाला सुरूवात केली. हार्मोनियम वादनासाठी त्यांनी कोणत्याही गुरूकडून ज्ञान घेतले नाही. परंतु, हार्मोनियम वादनात त्यांनी स्वतःचे असे स्थान निर्माण केले.
पुण्यात आल्यावर त्यांची ओळख स्वरभास्कर पंडित भीमसेन जोशी यांच्याशी झाली. त्यानंतर पंडितजींच्या बहुतांशी मैफलीत ते आपल्या बहारदार हार्मोनियम वादनाने रंग भरू लागले. त्यांनी किशोरी अमोणकर, कुमार गंधर्व, मालिनी राजूरकर, माणिक वर्मा यांनाही साथ दिली आहे. लहेरा आणि तालाचे त्यांना उत्तम ज्ञान होते. संगीत शास्त्राचे त्यांना उत्तम ज्ञान होते.

त्याचे वादन अत्यंत संयमी होते. कोणत्याही कलाकारच्या गायनाप्रमाणे त्याचे हार्मोनियम वादन होते. आपली जोड त्यात ते कधीही देत नव्हते. परंतु, इतर वेळी ते आपल्या हार्मोनियम वादनाने मजा आणत असतं. ते कलाकार म्हणून जेवढे मोठे होते. तेवढे माणूस म्हणून मोठे होते. प्रेम, शांत असल्याने ते ख-याअर्थाने जग्नमित्र होते, असे स्वरांनंद प्रतिष्ठानचे कार्यकारी विश्वस्त प्रकाश भोंडे यांनी अप्पांच्या आठवणींना उजाळा दिला.

चार वर्षांपूर्वी त्यांना अर्धांगवायूचा झटका आला होता. त्यामुळे त्यांची प्रकृती बिघडली होती. त्यामुळे ते अंथरूणाला खिळून होते. त्यात किडनीचा त्रास सुरू होता. आज सकाळी सहा वाजता त्यांच वृध्दपकाळाने निधन झाले. त्यांच्या पत्नी शालिनीताई जळगावकर यांचे काही वर्षांपूर्वी निधन झाले होते. त्यांच्या तालमीत अनेक हार्मोनियम वादक तयार झाले. मोठ्या शिष्य गणात मुकुंद फडकरी, राहुल देशपांडे ही काही नावाजलेली नावे आहेत.

सकाळी साडे अकराच्या सुमारास वैकुंठ स्मशान भूमीत त्यांच्या पार्थिवावर अंत्यसंस्कार करण्यात येणार आहेत.

भास्कर चंदावरकर यांना संगीत क्षेत्रातील मान्यवरांची श्रद्धांजली

मैफलीतील संगीत आणि चित्रपटातील संगीत यातील फरक नेमका स्पष्ट करणारा, चित्रपट या माध्यमाची अतिशय सखोल जाण असणारा, तत्त्व आणि प्रात्यक्षिक यांच्यात कलात्मक समतोल साधणारा कलासाधक गमावल्याची भावना पं. भास्कर चंदावरकर यांच्या श्रद्धांजली सभेत त्यांच्या सहकाऱ्यांनी मंगळवारी व्यक्त केली.
पं. चंदावरकर यांनी फिल्म अँड टेलिव्हिजन इन्स्टिट्यूट ऑफ इंडिया या संस्थेत १९६८ ते १९८० या काळात संगीत विभाग प्रमुख, प्राध्यापक आणि संगीतकार या नात्याने काम केले होते. चंदावरकर यांच्या आठवणी जागविणाऱ्या या श्रद्धांजली सभेत त्यांच्यासोबत वावरलेले त्यांचे मित्र गहिवरले होते.
ज्येष्ठ चित्रपटतज्ज्ञ पी. के. नायर म्हणाले, ""चंदावरकर यांच्यातील कलागुणांचा दर्जा दिग्दर्शक ऋत्विक घटक यांच्या लक्षात येताच त्यांनी चंदावरकरांना संस्थेत येण्यास सुचवले, पण "नोकरी' स्वीकारण्याची त्यांची तयारी नव्हती. कालांतराने ते संस्थेत रुजू झाले. १९६८ मध्ये संस्थेच्या पहिल्या पदवीप्रदान समारंभाची "सिग्नेचर ट्यून' करण्याचे काम राहिले होते. तेव्हा पंडित रविशंकर संस्थेत आले होते. रवीजी आणि भास्करजी यांनी रात्रभर जागून ही ट्यून तयार केली होती. ती नंतर एका चित्रपटातही वापरली गेली होती. मूकपटांच्या काळात वाजविले जाणारे लाइव्ह संगीत हा चंदावरकरांच्या संशोधनाचा एक भाग होता. "कालियामर्दन' या मूकपटासाठी वाजवलेले संगीत त्यांनी नंतर स्वतः तयार केले होते. सध्या संस्थेच्या चित्रपटगृहाची ग्रीनरूम असणारी खोली त्या काळी "म्युझिक रूम' होती आणि ते रात्र रात्र जागून तिथे संगीतरचनांचे काम करत असत. चंदावरकर, मी आणि सुरेश छाब्रिया चित्रपट या माध्यमाविषयी तिथे सतत चर्चा, वादविवाद करत असू,'' अशा आठवणी त्यांनी सांगितल्या.
सुरेश छाब्रिया म्हणाले, ""आधुनिकतावाद, आधुनिक संगीत, चित्रकला, तत्त्वज्ञान यांच्या समकालीन प्रवाहांची अत्यंत प्रगल्भ जाण हे चंदावरकर यांचे वैशिष्ट्य होते. संगीत हा त्यांचा ध्यास होता. पण अन्य कलांविषयी ते सतत सजग असत. "एफटीआयआय'मुळे आमचा दीर्घकाळ संबंध आला. चित्रपटातील संगीत आणि मैफलीतील संगीताविष्कार यांतील फरक त्यांनी नेमका पकडला होता. कुठल्या माध्यमासाठी कोणत्या प्रकारचे आणि किती संगीत असावे, याचा त्यांचा अभ्यास विलक्षण होता.''
सतीश आळेकर म्हणाले, ""आमचे संबंध "एफटीआयआय'च्या स्थापनेपासूनचे होते. संस्थेच्या "चित्रपट रसग्रहण वर्गा'चा मी विद्यार्थीही होतो. साहित्य, संगीत, चित्रपट याविषयीच्या त्यांच्या चर्चा, वाद त्यांचे परस्परसंबंध याविषयी ते सतत सांगत असत. त्या काळात इंटरनेट नव्हते, पण चंदावरकर म्हणजे आमचा "विश्‍वकोश'च होता. समकालीन संवेदना घडविण्यात त्यांचे योगदान महत्त्वाचे आहे. "घाशीराम कोतवाल' नाटकाच्या मूळ संहितेत इतकी गाणी नव्हती. चंदावरकरांनी ती स्वतः तयार केली आणि संगीतापलीकडचेही योगदान दिले.''
श्‍यामला वनारसे म्हणाल्या, ""ज्या पद्धतीने चंदावरकर काम करत असत, ती पद्धतच विद्यार्थ्यांना खूप शिकवणारी असायची. सूर, लय, ताल, चित्र, रंग यांच्यातील सूक्ष्म पण तरल नाती ते विद्यार्थ्यांसमोर उलगडत असत.'' रवी कुलकर्णी, श्रीमती छाब्रिया, लक्ष्मी बिराजदार, जयश्री बोकील यांनीही आदरांजली अर्पण केली.

Music lovers will soon get rare records, facility to listen them

[News from Express]

Pune Music lovers in the city will soon be able to enjoy music of different genre, including classical, folk, jazz, rock and even film songs under one roof, at an art gallery-cum-music archive, which will house rare musical records by renowned artistes as well as a facility to enjoy the music in tranquility.

This facility will be set up at an upcoming art gallery, which will be named after Bharatratna recipient and the doyen of Kirana gharana Pandit Bhimsen Joshi, on the premises of the Vasantrao Bagul garden in Sahakarnagar.

Congress leader in the PMC Ulhas Bagul told reporters on Tuesday that the construction work for the art gallery is on in full swing and would cost Rs three crore.

The art and music gallery spread over 16,000 sq ft, will have four floors. On the ground floor, there will be 35 cubicles, where people can listen to music by their favourite artistes with the help of digitised archives of rare as well as popular ones. The archive will focus on artistes from Pune. However, records of artistes from other parts of the country will also be part of the collection.

In addition to this, the ground floor will have an auditorium, where screening of short films or other programmes could be arranged.

“The construction work is actually over, only the interior work is still going on. We have tried to give the building a novel look. It has a state-of-the-art sound system. Large models of different musical instruments are part of the exterior designing which creates a musical theme,” Bagul said.

An art gallery of 3,500 sq ft is designed on the first floor, where painting exhibitions could be held. On the second floor, a memorial has been designed for the late Marathi actor Suryakant Mandhare , where his awards and trophies will be on display, besides his picture gallery.

ज्येष्ठ गायिका गंगूबाई हनगल यांचे निधन

हुबळी - हिंदुस्थानी शास्त्रीय संगीतातील ज्येष्ठ गायिका गंगूबाई हनगल यांचे मंगळवारी प्रदीर्घ आजाराने निधन झाले. त्या ९७ वर्षांच्या होत्या. कर्नाटकातील हुबळीमधील खासगी रूग्णालयात त्यांच्यावर उपचार सुरू होते. तेथेच मंगळवारी सकाळी ७.१० वाजता त्यांची प्राणज्योत मालवली.

गंगूबाईंच्या मागे दोन मुले आणि एक मुलगी असा परिवार आहे. श्वसनाचा त्रास होत असल्याने गेल्या तीन जूनपासून त्यांना रुग्णालयात दाखल करण्यात आले होते. सोमवारी रात्रीपासून त्यांची स्थिती चिंताजनक बनली होती.

गंगूबाई हनगल यांचा जन्म पाच मार्च १९१३ मध्ये धारवाड येथे झाला. शालेय शिक्षण परिस्थितीवशात फारसे झाले नाही. मात्र, हिंदुस्तानी संगीताची ओढ असल्याने किराणा घराण्याचे गायक व गुरू सवाई गंधर्व उर्फ रामभाऊ कुंदगोळकर यांचे शिष्यत्व स्वीकारून त्यांनी स्वरनिष्ठ गायकीची आयुष्यभर जोपासना केली. १९२४ मध्ये बेळगावच्या कॉंग्रेस अधिवेशनात महात्मा गांधी यांच्याकडून गंगूबाईंना गाण्यासाठी शाबासकी मिळाली होती. हुबळीत किराणा घराण्याचे उस्ताद अब्दुल करीम खॉं यांनीही गंगूबाई या बालगायिकेचे गाणे ऐकून कौतुक केले होते.
कथक नृत्याचे धडे गंगूबाईंनी धारवाडला प्रतापलाल आमि श्‍यामलाल यांच्याकडे गिरवले. कृष्णाचार्य हुलगूर यांच्याकडून त्यांना किराणा घराण्याच्या सत्तर द्रुत चिजा मिळाल्या होत्या. १९३२ च्या सुमारास मुंबईतील मैफलीत ज्येष्ठ गायिका मेनका शिरोडकर, जद्दनबाई (अभिनेत्री नर्गिसच्या आई), पार्श्‍वगायक के. एल. सैगल यांच्यासारख्या दिग्गजांनी गंगूबाईंचे गाणे ऐकून आनंद व्यक्त केला होता. याच साली एचएमव्हीने त्यांच्या गांधारी हनगल या नावाने बारा गाण्यांची ध्वनिमुद्रिका काढली. बाबूराव पेंढारकर यांच्या "विजयाची लग्ने' या चित्रपटातही त्या गायिल्या होत्या. १९३६ पासून त्यांचे सवाई गंधर्व यांच्याकडे रीतसर शिक्षण सुरू झाले आणि त्यानंतर ख्यालगायिका हीच त्यांची ओळख बनली. दरम्यान गुरुराव कौलगी यांच्यासह त्यांचे सांसारीक जीवनही सुरू होते. गृहिणीपद, मातृत्वाच्या जबाबदाऱ्या सांभाळून त्या रियाज करीत असत.टॉन्सिल्सच्या त्रासावर उपचार घेत असताना १९५० मध्ये त्यांचा मूळचा बारीक आवाज बदलला आणि भरदार, दमदार बनला. हा बदल त्यांनी धीरोदात्तपणे स्वीकारला आणि संगीतसाधना सुरू ठेवली. अल्पावधीतच मान्यवर गायिका म्हणून त्या सर्वज्ञात झाल्या. विविध क्षेत्रातील महान व्यक्तींनी त्यांच्याविषयी गौरवोद्गार काढले आहेत. महाकवी द. रा. बेंद्रे यांनी त्यांना "गायनगंगादेवी' ही पदवी दिली. ज्ञानपीठप्राप्त लेखक एस. एल. भैरप्पाही त्यांचे चाहते होते. त्यांचा पहिला विदेश दौरा १९७९ मध्ये झाला.

द सॉंग ऑफ माय लाइफ हे गंगुबाईंचे आत्मकथन. मूळ कन्नडमधील या पुस्तकाचा इंग्रजी अनुवाद जी. एन. हनगल यांनी केला आहे.
बंधू शेषगिरी हनगल, कन्या कृष्णा हनगल यांच्या साथीने त्यांनी देशविदेशात अनेक मैफली गाजविल्या.

Dakshinayan - a treat of Carnatic Music

- Sangeet Samrat N Ravikiran (Chitravina)



Chitravina N. Ravikiran (born February 12, 1967 in Mysore, Karnataka, India) is a composer of Indian Carnatic music. He has been called the "Indian Mozart". He is probably most famous for his concept of "melharmony", which is harmony which stays within the melodic rules of an Indian raga (musical mode). Considered a virtuoso chitravina player, he has been described as "probably the greatest slide instrumentalist in the world today" by Radio Australia. Ravikiran has also played the slide Hawaiian guitar, and is an accomplished vocalist. He invented a variant of the chitravina called the navachitravina, which is smaller and has a clearer tone in the higher frequencies. Ravi Shankar, the famous sitar player, is most impressed with his talents, and is noted as saying: "If you don’t believe in God, just look at Ravikiran."

- Padmabhushan T. V. Sankaranarayanan (Vocal)



T. V. Sankaranarayanan (Tiruvalangadu Vembu Iyer Sankaranarayanan, born March 7, 1945) is an eminent and popular Carnatic vocalist (South Indian classical singer), known for his vibrant music that essentially stems from the style of his late uncle-guru, Madurai Mani Iyer. Padma Bhushan Sankaranarayanan, a winner of the prestigious Sangeetha Kalanidhi award instituted by the Madras Music Academy, is particularly noted for the easy reach of his voice to the upper notes and colourful dilineation of the solphas (swaraprastaram).
