 The
talented Nityanand Haldipur - ranked among India's
leading flautists and a senior disciple of the
reclusive genius, Padma Bhushan Smt. Annapurna
Devi - represents the pure essence of a highly
revered musical heritage.
Born
in Bombay in a deeply spiritual family, Nityanand
was fortunate to have the right environment for his
latent musical talents to blossom. His first guru
who initiated him into the art, technique and
aesthetics of flute-playing was his father, the late
Shri Niranjan Haldipur - a senior disciple of the
renowned flute maestro, the late Pandit Pannalal
Ghosh. The warm soothing sounds of the bamboo flute
were an early, pervading influence. And for young
Nityanand to be attracted to the instrument was only
natural.
Over the next two decades, Nityanand's training
continued under the late Pandit Chidanand Nagarkar,
and Pandit Devendra Murdeshwar, seniormost disciple
of late Pandit Pannalal Ghosh, under whom Nityanand
perfected his technique.
However, it was after 1986, when
Padma
Bhushan Smt. Annapurna Devi
- doyen of the Senia-Maihar gharana - and daughter
of the legendary Ustad Allauddin Khansaheb (Baba),
the fountainhead of the gharana - accepted him as
one of her disciples, that Nityanand's talent and
musicianship truly flowered. It progressively
acquired depth, maturity and a new dimension. The
polished tonal grace, rhythmic elegance, and depth
as well as lucidity of expression evident in
Nityanand's playing are the result of his continuing
advanced training and refinement under Smt.
Annapurna Devi. |
