Live
recording of Pt. Krishna Mohan
Bhatt accompanied by Nitin Mitta on Tabla.
Krishna Bhatt was born into a family of musicians, poets and
Sanskrit scholars who for five generations upheld their tradition
in Rajasthan. His forefathers migrated from the south of India to
Rajasthan (northwest), a princely state then, to seek employments
in the "Gunijankhana" (department of learned scholars) of the
Maharaja of Jaipur. Krishna was introduced to the musical
traditions of Senia school by his father, who was a distinguished
sitarist of his time, the late Pt. Shashi Mohan Bhatt.
In his teens,
Krishna's musical grooming was further enhanced by many years of
study under the tutelage of his Guru Pt. Ravi Shankar, and
legendary musicians Pt. Nikhil Banerjee and Ustad Ali Akbar Khan,
who had a strong impact on Krishna's musical growth. While
developing his own individual style, Krishna's music was greatly
influenced by twentieth century stalwarts such as the vocalists
Amir Khan, Bade Gulam Ali Khan, Abdul Karim Khan, Begum Akhtar,
Shobha Gurtu as well as renowned folk singers of Rajasthan.
Krishna's repertoire in performance includes a wide variety of rare
and old traditional compositions from these masters of music.
