  Pandit Bhimsen Joshi
Bhimsen, who had so far matched the speed and agility of his voice with the speed of his car, realised that a car after all has limitations and moves in the vilambit laya.
Bhimsen was invited with his family to the ceremony and the lunch there- after, but to my disappointment he did not show up.
Bhimsen believes that in classical music the poetic content of the lyric is as important as thc notes of the raga.

 Bhimsen Joshi - Rhythm n Raga.org
The characteristics of the Kirana gharana are precision-oriented tunefulness (lagav of swaras) presentation of a bandish with an impressively grace- ful style, and a disciplined, systematic and methodical raga de- velopment, punctuated with an elegantly elaborate alap and skil- ful decoration with the choicest forms of embellishments - taans.
With the help of all these, Bhimsen makes such a terrific favourable impact on his audience right from the start of the concert that listeners remain glued to their seats till the last notes of his Bhairavi.
Bhimsen is a versatile singer; he is an expert in khayal singing but he is also adept in the presentation of thumris, songs from plays, or devotional compositions.

Be it the bhajans sung by her mother, the khayals of Ustad Abdul Karim Khan relayed on the radio or even the music played by a band, Bhimsen found a potent power in music from which he could not resist himself.

By that time Bhimsen was well on his way on the path that he had chosen for himself.

I'm going through a Bhimsen Joshi phase (been 3 weeks or so), and I gave in and added some not so thrilling looking CDs to the collection simply because they had some of the bhajans and abhangs I like.
In his words, the received bandish has been "processed in the Kirana factory." Although the "Bhimsen processor" is, in general, guilty causing injury to the sAhitya, in this case at least we are spared of the trauma.
'bhinsen processor's a joke on bhimsen's tendency to pay scant attention to words of the bandish, often mangling words, as opposed to someone like jasraj, whose pronunciation is very clear.
