Tutelage : Vocal accompanyment reviews      : back page :




Pandit Jasraj regales / The Indian Express, 1991

" Special mention must be made of Shweta Jhaveri's vocal support. Her accompanyment consists in providing delightful counterpoint rather than just following the guru. Pandit Jasrajji's concept of swara offers tantalizing glimpses of exact notes through an aura of a surrounding shroud of microtones. By contrast Shweta's technique is to hit the core in an elegant swoop."



Pandit Jasraj in Concert / India, 1991

" The musician had an excellent support in his student Shweta Jhaveri. The promising yongster with superb control of her voice, showed immense potential. Jasraj was impressed by her singing and acknowledged it. Appa Jalgaonkar, another great Hindustani musician, who accompanied him on the harmonium also kept pace with the vocalist and displayed his excellent command over the instrument."

" Easily the great singing of Pandit Jasraj on the last evening of the fete dominated the proceedings. For me it was a revealation. It was so wonderfully innovative for a classical vocal recital, for example Jasraj had supporting him a young student called Shweta Jhaveri. The singing of master and disciple had a complimentary quality. Jasraj would launch into a line and Shweta would complete it. I have never heard supporting juniors playing such a positive role in a recital. It had to be heard to be understood in all its breathtaking novelty." - Staff Reporter.

" A performance is successful when the artist surpasses techniques. All possibilities of the voice were demonstrated. For this the contribution of vocalist Shweta Jhaveri not announced in advance has to be emphasized. She gave with her poetic voice an extra dimention to the concert."
