Excellent performance. In fact, I heard more azhuttham and bhAvam revealing more sArangA in this boy's version than a veteran singer's version I had heard. Of course, I do not mean to elevate him to that level but this raises a question. What will be considered next levels for such a talented boy? Increase in repertoire (in ragas, thalas and compostions ), increase in manodharma and just plain ever accumulating experience and confidence?

I did see him about 6 months back @manakkAl's concert , right now erode anantharAman is quite a tall lad, hoping that will bring him more staminA to sing longer swaras .For me this is my personal favourite

He sings very nicely and with great confidence too.

Our past threads on Prodigy related questions have turned to be more of threads of slander. I sincerely hope that members post words of encouragement than bashing another rising star!!

What impressed me most was the way he approached a rAgam like sArangA, making it sound more interesting and appealing than in the way one often hears it in concerts. Of course, it is PT's emotive composition too.
VK, I agree with you. It is promising to see that in a youngster who might evolve with an inner growth of his own--with the guidance from his gurus, of course. I am sure his musical family, gurus of quality (this I am guessing by his singing) and his own love for music helps. A talent worth watching...

In my opinion, all this can be accumulated in any order and will definitely make him an improved and accomplished performer. However, I would emphasize on making the kid more interested in music related aspects other than performance and improve his communication abilities. I say this in view of what I see as the difference in someone like Ravikiran / Shashikiran and someone like U.Srinivas. While both are geniuses in their own right, I feel that U.Srinivas seems to have gone out of public view - probably he accomplished a lot in a very young age and he did not find any challenges later in life. Whereas *kiran family people are very active in other activities that provides variety and challenge for them. Ravikiran has been busy researching into Oothukadu and Shashikiran runs Carnatica along with others, writes books and organizes various events. I do not know whether these abilities were inherent in them or were inculcated. These kind of education provides an avenue for channelizing the talent in a way that will not saturate too soon. I have heard that U.Srinivas is busy and getting involved in Hindustani Music.vasanthakokilam wrote:Excellent performance.

This is just a conjecture on my part. I may be wrong. However, this education - that of communication ability - to express views, opinions in a coherent way and to keep the other parties interested - is an important aspect for everyone. Especially in the Indian education system where I think this notion does not seem to be taken into account at all.
