One Smt. Swetha Prasad is presenting a vocal concert at the moment. Very soothing, good music of high quality in all respects. Just concluded Goverdhan Gireesham in Hindolam.
I have never come across her name in Bangalore in all these years. What a loss.
Now Brindaavana saarangapani. Main is yet to come. If anyone can throw light about this artist, it would be nice. She definitely needs attention.

Re: Naada Neeraajanam- TTD TV channel - Daily 6.15 pm
Whenever I am India, I try to catch this program in the evening. I am often surprised and pleased to hear some good music from veterans and young artistes alike. If the program isn't my cup of tea, I just switch the TV off.
Here are some of the things which strike me about the program this year:
1: This unwelcome feature is also seen in music halls and some other TV programs. The backdrop or background to the stage has over-ornamentation and glaring colors. Previously, there was a nearly monochromatic effect, sculptures looking simple and calming.
With the new design, there is a riot of colors and flourishes. In a concert, add to it the various colors artistes and even the mrudngam wear!
In a dance recital, it's worse. The graceful movements and postures are barely visible against busy patterns and exploding colors. You get the feeling as if you can't see the performances at all, even though you are seated right in front of the TV!
If only they have a smaller icon (two dimensional) VenkatESwarA and the saints adorning the top of the screen, the plain background would lend a calming feeling for the viewers. If the present images are shifted to FACE the stage, the artistes can view them too, and don't have ho show their backs to them.
2: As for the women announcers, why are they wearing heavy long angavastrAs these days as men wear (which looks nice over their kurtAs)? Looks cumbersome to me!
3: Do appreciate the announcements. However, the running letters do not announce the name of the accompanists at all. You have to wait till the end to hear them announced, if you don't know them...

Of late, I had heard some very good concerts in this programme. Yesterday it was Pantula Rama. Excellent concert as always you can expect from her. Anuragamuleni with neraval swarams, Nannu vidachi with alapana, Main was Geetarthamu with very imaginative raga alapana, neraval and swarams.

RS Nandakumar Vocal concert with Prashanth Iyengar on the veena. I've never heard either, so went in blindly.
Just began with a varnam in Panthuvarali by Mysore Sadasiva Rao. Kudos to Nandakumar for bringing out such a rare varnam and presenting a piece with such panache!
Heard that, Vidwans of Chennai???

Brova Rada in Varunapriya followed by a round of swarams at pallavi.
A Krithi by the vainika in Hamviru on the Kshetra of the day to follow.
Hearing Nandakumar speak is as sweet as his music. Are you listening, Music Academy

Mediocre and forgettable music, in conclusion. The krithi was imminently forgettable, and the Balagopala was riddled with sruthi lapses. I think I saw the Venkatachalapathi in the background raise a 'SAVE ME' sign in the background, unable to tolerate his music! His speech too deteriorated in quality, becoming hollow and over-exaggerated.
At least the program ended.

We are really blessed to have Nada Naadaneerajanam everyday evening at the most auspicious time. The Tirumala Tirupati Devastanam /SVBC is doing admirable job to put everything in place for prompt telecast of the daily events. It offers variety as well as coverage of artists from the whole of India The artists are also duly honoured with the divine bonus of enabling darsan of the Lord. Though resources are aplenty, those concerned at SVBC (including the technicians) in organising and airing the music/ dance programmes deserve a big SABASH for their commendable job especially since the events are telecast live.
Musicians consider it a great privilege as they get 'world exposure'. It is an important credential in their bio data.
The signature (title) music with retrospective visuals of the events is excellent.
Om Namo Venkatesaya!

Sivaramakrishnan, rightly said.
SVBC is one of the few things of reliability and predictability in our musical world.
In comparison, classical music dished out elsewhere on TV is plagued by lack of programming, curating, and quality of presentations. The worst is Sri Sankara TV where they don't think twice about interrupting Nanati Bratuku sung in melancholic Revathi in a garish backdrop with psychedelic lights and poor camera work right in the middle to peddle Ramaraj Silk Vestis ideal for connubial bliss.
However I would love to hear from musicians themselves how their performing experience has been - the arrangements, the audience, the darshan component.
Again hats off to SVBC. I continue to maintain that Tirumala Balaji temple is something every Indian should be proud of.
Om Namo Venkateshaya

Well Sachi,
One thing the Naadaneeraajanam telecasts need to ensure is the Audio-Video sync. Non-sync affects programmes like laya ensembles in particular wherein it is important that the 'sight and sound of Taala' match perfectly!

Agreed! But I am living with this problem with almost all videos-YT, websites, and live feeds like SVBC. I don't know what is the errant factor in the chain.
If any media ir URL is playable on VLC (its better implementation is called BS ), it can be fixed during replay by adjusting the video/audio delay.
By the way, just discovered that the SVBC channel has its own Android app with live streaming, with no loss of quality. Also on YouTube.

Joining the kudos to SVBC, that provides commercials-mukt program for 90 minutes, featuring a good cross section of artistes. I also endorse the brickbats thrown at Sankara TV - interrupting a song in the middle may show lack of sensitivity. What is worse is that they interrupt poojya Sringeri Acharyas' arul vakku in between a sentence to air commercials on cement, coffee and real estate. This is utter disrespect to the Acharyas.
AIR Chennai is also to be commended for broadcasting vintage stuff from their archives - yesterday there was a clean recording of Brinda-Mukta concert with RK Venkatrama Sastry and Coimbatore N Ramaswamy. The recording and airing quality was so good.

I told a functionary in Sringeri Mutt that breaking up Swamiji's discourse or Pooja webcast for adverts peddling sarees, matrimony meets, dhoti, old age home, gold... was condemnable and should be stopped. He laughed and said, "Come on, we are a commercial channel. Someone is making money through this."
I also reached out to Kamadhenu office near IISc. They hung up on me.

No, any video recording postprocessed multiple times or put through certain online processes can develop that. It could be multiple reasons, so not only CM.
By the way Nisha Rajagopalan on SVBC just now. No A/V lag.

Watch Naadaneerajanam being telecast now ( 03 Aug Thursday 6 pm onwards)- it's a Kuchupudi dance recital (artists: Mungara Sridevi & Chinmayi USA).
Audio-video sync seems to be better compared to music concert.
