Prasanna Venkatraman @ Vani Mahal, 22-3-'17

Post by sureshvv »

Accompanists:

B.U.Ganesh Prasad
Arjun Ganesh
Sunil Kumar(k)

Song list:

1. Begada varnam, Sariyo nee seyyum thaamadam, Adi, Tiger
2. Tattvam ariya tarama, Reethigowla, Adi, PS, s @ madhisekharan maganey
3. Yadukulakambodhi, Innamum oru dharam, Adi, GKB
4. Rishabhapriya, Gana naya desika, Adi, KI, s
5. Vandaan vandaan bharatha, Mohanam, AK
6. Kharaharapriya, Kaakka unakku irakkam illaiya, Adi, ns
7. Kani nilam vendum, ragamalika
8. Poonguyil koovum
9. Vaazhiya semmozhi

Personal Observations:

1. Great concert and a breezy 2 hours going by in a flash. Voice in fine fettle. My pick of the ongoing week long Tamizh Isai concert series at Vani Mahal.
2. Swaras for Tattvam ariya tarama started with a wonderful phrase. Arjun Ganesh channeled Vellore Ramabhadran in parts. Great percussion support.
3. Nice choice of kriti after Yadukulakambodhi alapana to counter expectations :)
4. Both Rishabhapriya and Kharaharapriya alapanas were out of the world. With Prasanna, it is aesthetics before technique. Music is never measured in brighas per second.
5. Poonguyil would have sounded better than Poonkuyil. May be Roman script had something to do with it.

Was this a Tamil Isai only kacheri?

It is Vazhiya Sentamizh, by the way
