Naada Neeraajanam- TTD TV channel - Daily 6.15 pm

kssr · Post by **kssr** » 03 Aug 2017, 19:32

" 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."

The mismatch is more noticeable only when the artist puts thaalam and we too try it at the same time

Smt G Baby Sriram presented a very good recital on 9th Aug.
Ranganayakam (Nayaki - Dikshitar) was the opening piece.
The 'Main' was Swati Tirunal's Kripaya paalaya Sourey' in Charukesi.
A brilliant recital.

(As I couldn't catch up with the live telecast, watched the same in YouTube later)

She sang Kalaye deva in Rajani (Swati) and Krishna nee begane baro. Good concert. But a bit struggled to negotiate the higher notes.

Yesterday Vechoor Sankar presented a good concert. Sarasaksha was the main song. Other songs, Muladharakshetra in Mayamalavagowla, Brindavananilaye (Reetigowla), Sujanajeevana, Mapala etc.

Vechoor sankar's presentation was very strange and as such i could not enjoy the concert.Though the song selection was good,the concert was not appealing to me.

Balu Raghuram violin with Subhadra on vina and Aditya on violin with MAE & BSP giving a good performance.Their Sarasangi Jaya jaya padhmanabha was executed well.Young Aditya playing an alluring mohanam.good bowing.evarura being played.

Sivaramakrishnan · Post by **Sivaramakrishnan** » 19 Aug 2017, 11:52

Yes, the trio gave a fine concert.

Sarasangi was a perfect choice for the start.

I could notice a Lalgudi influence in the playing of Aditya.

The Veena lent a special charm.

Mannargudi Easwaran and Purushotham gave excellent percussion support.

Palghat Ramprasad concert was very engaging.
Narayana pantuvarali with good svarams purakara hamirkalyani a malayslam song in dvijavanti good thodi rsjuvedala.L.ramakrishnan & U.mali supported greatly.

CRama · Post by **CRama** » 23 Aug 2017, 11:49

The concert of Palghat Ramaprasad was very good. Correct list of songs.
Harinarayana-Panthuvarali. (I heard from this song only) with elabrate neraval and swarams
Dwijavanthi elaborate alapana fllowed by Taruni janan enthu cheyvu
Puraharananadana-Hameerkalyani with swarams
Rajuvedala-Thodi, alapana, neraval swarams
Bhavayami Gopalabalam-Yamunakalyani.

But I have some observations.
Harinarayana- A highly devotional outpour of Purandaradasa usually sung by MSS, MLV, KVN etc in Kedaram. This song has been tuned in Panthuvarali and elaborate neraval and swarams added. There are umpteen songs in Panthuvarali. Why to convert this to PV, do elaborate neraval and swarams and dilute the devotional element of the song. Secondly, Dwijavanthi alapana was very good, elaborate with lot of SSI sangatis. But the song was not appropriate to the ragam rendered or the venue where nobody understood Malayalam. Chetasree would have been best suited for the occasion and the expansive ragam rendered.

jodha · Post by **jodha** » 23 Aug 2017, 18:56

Cramaji,
This prog.is seen globally so a song in Malayalam can be accepted.If U say so whatbout the HM concerts in this channel.Let us broaden our views.
There was too staunch yadhukulalambodhi pidi in dvijavanti.may be technically alright.

kssr · Post by **kssr** » 23 Aug 2017, 20:01

Did anyone listen to the Kerala drum concert. Sri. Tirupunitura Krishna das(?). Violin and mridangam are supposed to be his accompaniments. Would be nice, if the drum is an additional percussion for a vocal or violin concert instead of taking centre stage. The artist is obviously highly talented.

Wouldnt be surprised that we will soon have a morsing concert with vocal, violin, flute, veena, mridangam and kanjira as accompaniment.

arasi · Post by **arasi** » 23 Aug 2017, 21:41

A 'more sing' concert would surely be our choice--
A morsing concert? That's perplexing, vexing too!

Even Bhagyalakshmi, the skilled young artiste whose lively playing is charming, cannot make rasikAs sit through a whole solo concert!

Its not just a 'drum' but known as Idacka. The 'IDACKA' or 'EDAKKA" can produce all the notes in an octave (and a few notes beyond the upper shadjam). It is literally a 'singing drum' normally used to accompany 'soapaana sangitam' in temples in Kerala where ritualistic devotionals and most importantly Ashtapadis are sung. It is also one of the instruments in the Panchavadyam percussion ensemble played in festivals Kerala. The two sides of the drum are connected with strings (of tough fibre). While playing the vadya with the striker, the left hand has to clasp the connecting yarns and adjust the temper to produce the required note. Listen carefully, the striking comes with a vibration that defines the note. Divine instruments of yore!!

Morsing won't fit the centre stage as it can produce only a single note. Sukanya Ramgopal plays songs with Ghata but you must have seen her using more than one Ghata each with a different pitch to form the raga scale.

Of course, in the Edacka concert of 23 Aug discussed above, the violin support was commendable.

The Gumki (Idanthalai-left side) of Mridanga / Tabla can yield only a couple of notes demanding much skill. Ultimately Idacka reigns supreme as the singing drum among the traditional musical instruments.

Yesterday (25th Aug Friday) it was Bharatanatyam by a troupe from Chennai and it was quite good. The (live) music section was very supportive - the Nattuvangam in particular.

Today 6 PM, there was a very good concert by a young vidwan from Trivandrum, Sreedev Rajagopal. Never heard his name. On googling, I could get that he hails from Kottayam and studied in Swati Tirunal College of Music , Trivandrum and settled in TVM. Could not get other info as to his gurus. Sang many songs- Sreepathe-Vachaspati (Tulasivanam), Anupamagunambudhi, Brochevarevarura, Chootamurare, Paramapurusha-Vasantha, Vasundharatanaya-Bhairavi as Main and Annamayya song in Misra Jog. Should hear more of this vidwan.

Kerala has many singers who are not known widely. Kerala also draws good audience for CM concerts. The singer did good justice and sang with confidence and grip.

He sang impressivrely.
I found him in FB and wished him for which he replied immediately.It seems he is employed in the same college that he studied.His FB profile says so.
His Arabhi & Bhairavi were v.g.

Perhaps the only state which has true music lovers who flock in huge numbers specially in those concerts held in temples and in the open auditoriums irrespective of who is performing. Many of these artists for some reason do not attempt to come out of the state.

One of the brilliant young artist was Ambikapuram Sivaraman whose recordings were made available in plenty in YT. But havnt seen any new recordings lately.

Today Naada neerajanam by Sri Thyagarajan Ramani. Main Chakkaniraja.. Good concert.
Interesting fact is the violinist, a young girl , probably 15 Arushi Ramesh gave excellent support. Independent Karaharapriya was very impressive. Who is this girl. Greatly heartening to see children coming up like this. Carnatic music in good hands of the kids and their gurus.

I googled to find that Arushi Ramesh and her mother Yamini Ramesh are violinist from Kiwi land . Arushi is a student of Lalgudi Vijayalakshmi. Not sure if she is also related to Ramani as mentioned by kunthalavarali.

May be few folks from newzealand and australia can add more details.

kssr · Post by **kssr** » 12 Jan 2018, 11:41

Yes. You are right Rajeshnat. I got the information as well. Seems mother and daughter are in chennai to further her music under Lalgudi Vijayalakshmi. Mr. Ramesh still in NZ. Fantastic kid. 14 years old. Would love to listen to her playing solo, a few pieces, pref without accompaniments. We can then get a better feel.
We should also appreciate Sri. Thyagarajan to have chosen her to play for him,in such an important concert that is telecast worldwide.

Hello Everyone...
Thank you for your comments regarding Arushi Ramesh's violin accompaniment in the concert of Sri Ramani Thyagarjan Flute at Nadaneerajanam in Tirupathi.
As pointed by kssr here, she is a disciple of Srimathi Lalgudi Vijayalakshmi.

The video pointed out earlier by rajeshnat is not Arushi Ramesh but someone else. I have attached a few of Arushi's video's recorded in the recent past .
You may watch at your leisure...
