Taalyogi Pandit Suresh Talwalkar, is one of the greatest Tabla exponents of the present times. Pandit Sureshji belongs to the illustrious “Keertankar” family of Shri Dholebuva. “Keertana” being a classical form of devotional and musical
discourse, a liking for the classical music was inculcated in him right
in the childhood. Further, at a very young age, his father Shri
Dattatray Talwalkar initiated him into the art of “Tabla”. He then
took his lessons from the veteran gurus, Pt. Pandharinath Nageshkar and
Pt. Vinayakrao Ghangrekar. He also learnt the intricacies of Carnatic
Layashastra ( a science of rhythm ), from the renowned Mridangam player
Pt. Ramnad Ishwaran. This diverse training enabled Sureshji to imbide
the subtleties of both, the North and the South Indian music,
transforming him into a “solo performer” with unique expression.
Being privileged with unparalleled
talent, since the early days, Sureshji has accompanied a number of
great artists in their concerts. Pt. Gajananbuva Joshi and Pt. Nivruttibuva Sarnaik are amongst those
whom he accompanied the most. He gratefully regards them as gurus and
attributes to them the deep insight that, he carries today for the
classical music. Sureshji introduced for the first
time, the novel concept of taking vocal accompaniment and added a new
dimension and direction to the solo playing of tabla.
