K.Gayathri Prasanna @ Raga Sudha - 19/02/2017
Sanjeev
Ganapathyraman
Harihara Sarma (K)
Concert postponed from December due to Hurricane Vardha
Started with Dakshinamurthy slokam & voice in fine fettle. Powerful enough to fill the auditorium & sweet enough to convey the nuances & subtleties. "Nirmalaya Prashantaya" was a bit understated. May be she is holding back a bit.
Sarasuda varnam follows. Nice & brisk start. Very good breath control with long aakara passages generously thrown in.

Beautiful Varali alapana followed by a meditative kamakshi. Alapana made particularly beautiful by dwelling at various swaras with the gamakas. Neraval at shuka shyamaley Siva shankari followed by swaras. Ganapathyraman providing excellent support with the softest touches.
A brisk Dayapayonidhe in Jaganmohini.

Very beautiful, especially the Neraval.
Followed by a brisk song providing a nice balance.
Wonderful voice. Crystal clear but with no hardness at all

Amba Neelayadakshi in Neelambari.
There is something about Raga Sudha hall & this song.
Have heard this from many artistes here & each one sounds fresh & brings out a huge applause from the audience.

Sweet Kharaharapriya alapana. "Sweet" seems to be the theme for today. Equally sweet alapana from Sanjeev ending with some beautiful sancharas sending me racking my brains trying to recall the kriti.
Chakkaniraja is the kriti chosen.

Sweet Neraval.
I do like main to include Neraval.
(assuming this is main: 8pm would suggest that it is)

Agree. Too often neraval is omitted for the main kriti for "lack of time". Neraval got a nice round of applause from the audience

The thani went a bit too complex, but so did her final swara korvai.
A sweet, neat finish to GR closing korvai though!

Neelavannanai ninaindhal in Shuddha Sarang?
Straight to Mangalam without pause.
Great concert. May be the most melodious that I have heard her.

Notable about the concert, as well as the beauty of her voice and the music was the balanced presentation.
