Vatapi Ganapatim in Hindustani style

[girish_a]

I usually dismiss such notions straightaway, but not this.

Pandit Ajoy Chakraborty sings Vatapi Ganapatim in Hindustani style. I liked how he sings vAranAsyam about 2.5 mins into the video.

After listening to this, I'm wondering why Vatapi Ganapatim hasn't made it into mainstream Hindustani music. Could it be for technical reasons?

I have heard hari prasad chaurasia playing as live and it used to wonderful. Several years ago that was.

I shared long ago a video of of Pt Chchannulal Mishra singing Vatapi, in the forum.

As Hindustanish it can get in a CM concert. An all time great Vathapi in my books
