Indian
Classical Music is an on-the-spot creation within the framework
of a raga. Providing accompaniment for a pre-composed item
is totally different from that of a spontaneous improvisation.
Here the mood of the artiste reigns supreme. The supporting
artiste has to understand the psyche of the musicians as
well as the requirement of the moment. Based on this the
accompanist decised to provide wither subdued support or
one to one dialogue or to give absolutely thrilling display
of his taleem, riyaaz and talent.
Prasenjit
and his Tabla have all these characteristics in abundances.
