About the CD Bhimsen Joshi is one of the greatest torchbearers of the Kirana gharana. A remarkable vocalist in his own right, he has been at the centre stage of the renaissance of Indian classical music.

Bhimsen Gururaj Joshi was born on 14 Feb, 1922 at Godag in the Dharwad district of Karnataka where his father was a schoolteacher. When very young he happened to listen to a recording of Khan Saheb. Abdul Karim Khan of Kirana gharana. This cast a spell on the young boy. He was so inspired by the great master's singing that he decided get deep into music. Consequently, he began his training under Rambhan Kundgolkar, a pupil of Khan Saheb Abdul Karim Khan. His rigorous Shiksha (training) continued for twelve years. His hard work and dedication were rewarded and Bhimsen Joshi emerged as a one of the greatest classical vocalists of our time.

Combining and adapting features of different gharanas with his own, Bhimsen Joshi has evolved his own style that can be described as unique. His effortless rendering of gamaks, meends and tanakriyas in his deep resonant voice is most appealing to his listeners. He is a purist who believes in the traditional way of singing, despite his marvellous and unusual improvisations.

His debut performance was in 1950, during a conference held in the honour of his guru Sawai Gandharva. He was so impressive that he got an immediate offer form six other music conferences. Bhimsen Joshi was honoured with the Padma Shri in 1972 and he received the Sangeet Natak Academy award in 1976. This was followed by a Padma Bhushan in 1985. He picked up his first platinum disc in 1986. He is a national treasure beyond comparision.
