Did any one notice Smt. Sowmya left out the anupallavi in the madhyamAvati kIrtanA she rendered at the JayaTV MMU? I hope this was only a mistake. All said and done, fantastic concert by Smt Sowmya. Good kAlapramANam. Thanks venkatakailasam.

kssr, ARI used to sing both kAmavardhini and pUrvikalyANi (once even with SubhapantuvarALi) in the same concert without causing an confusions. He was the perfect master of these two rAgas. I have heard kAmavardhini piece and pUrvikalyANi RTP at MA a few year ago.

Shri unni Krishnan :

Unni is not singing with his mouth open! Possibly years of playback singing and voice modulation had made him more conscious of how he sounds. . He has to be a carnatic performer?


Thank you musicranga

The Begada was good except for the fact that it didnt seem to develop slowly at all - aggression and Brigas from almost the very start, maybe they edited things..the Anandabhairavi Swarams with emphasis on the Dhattu, at quite a few places did not appeal to me at all.. And the accompanists - while the violin is good, the Mrudangam accompanying here seems to be quite ordinary, to me!

Sanjay's was a brilliant concert. His forceful presentation of unknown songs, gives you the feeling of familiarity even after listening to them once. Normally his Q & A s are interesting. His reply to change in CM in 20 years was a clear departure from his opinion a few years back on the same subject. His earlier view was that, CM is for the elite and we should not try too hard by diluting the art, to attract huge crowds. (If you have an "aabhaasamaana" programme you will get only such crowds). This year he says that to reach out to larger audiences, we should break the boundaries and try new things.

He is undoubtedly a man with a very high IQ and speaks his mind. He will be a leader in the field for decades to come. We wish him the very best.

The song Karunai thanthennai alamma (Mazhavai Chidambara bharathi) is set to the same tune (literally) as Ramaswamy Sivan's Kadaikkan veithennai alamma. Could someone shed some light on this?

Sanjay's blog claims that the latter was copied from MCB's version. I am not sure about the timeline of these compositions. Could someone shed some light on this?

I am quite curious about this, so I am also posting this question on the concert review thread.

I was upstairs. Did not have any intention of listening to AS. But I started hearing KB Sunderambal's powerful voice. Went down to see that it was after all AS. No offence meant to the great Sunderambal. The comparison ends with the power in throwing the voice. Otherwise, KBS's voice was melodious, briga laden and memorable. You can fill in the other side.

Thank you so much.I am a huge fan of Ganesh - Kumaresh and I look forward to their Jaya TV concerts every year. There was no telecast in our house yesterday and I was cursing myself for missing this. Thank you so much for this and all the other concerts that you have posted. At least for me this is the best concert on Jaya this year.

Ganesh Kumaresh was far better than in the past, as there were less innovations and more CM. After all who can beat the beauty of Saint Thyagaraja's genius. The monotonous lengthy string of raaaaaaaaaaaagamalika of similar beat/sahitya was a real bore and made the intensity of the whole programme sag. But after all these years of stage experience, who can teach them what combination of songs would interest rasikas?
The tiny tufts (kudimis) of the violinists and the ghatam vidwan was a bit of a comedy. Sorry about my impiety :) Mridangam with Saibaba hairstyle, did not need one!

I wanted to tell that I just could not follow them in their concert. What is that about ragamalika of pallavi, Anu pallavi and charanam in different ragas and which was the song they have taken up for this innovative singing and honestly I could not make out the raga also
due to perhaps my ignorance in identification of ragas .
any way there were plenty of rasikas in the hall who were tossing their heads and making talam with their hands :?:
I did not want to show my self a fool initially :$
Other than this ragamalika, the concert was enjayable especially the Navarasakannada one.
Kindly do not compare the hair style with that of SAI. I thought he was following Shri J Vaithiyanathan.

Oh! They wanted to present Thyagaraja's co mpositions in desadi talas. Since there were so many kritis composed in Desadi tala by Thyagaraja obviously they had to select a few. so they selected a few which had similar structure and made them as a ragamalika with pallavi of one song, anupallavi of another, charanam of yet another song and so on. The songs were like 'chalamelara', marugelara,mokshamu galada entaveduko, manavyala, adamodi and so on and it went on and on. the ragas were all similar and at times it was not possible to identify either the raga or the kriti. In short it became monotonous. They had started very well and if they had continued in the same pattern it would have been nice.

Venkatakailasam,
Can't thank you enough for all the music you have provided for the rasikap perumakkaL!
After all the immersion in music this season and with the inevitable withdrawal syndrome and physical collapse which follows, what better remedy than your bounty of music! I am back to normal, it seems. Thanks again.

I am not sure about what you had in mind. I remember that you have told that on reaching India that you will check up with Ms Nitin whether she had any concert materiel of your compositions.

Today's Sowmya led programme was very nice. So refreshing to see the three young ladies sing so well. Also shows Sowmya's broad mindedness in including the students of other gurus for putting together this programme. Well done!

I totally concur. Sowmya did this last year too with Nandanar Charitram with three young male singers who were not her students directly. Although, is Bharat Sundar getting some training from her now? The ritigowlai/Surutti Nishadam distinction was very nice, although quite apparent to anyone who has thought about it.

>Journey through compositions of Venkata Kavi was an admirable one by Shri Ravi Kiran and team

Yes indeed. That was quite an enjoyable presentation. The 5 gana raga ramayana is quite an interesting composition. I felt like OVK was invoking Kamban in that fourth charanam on the pattAbhishEkam. It will work very well for group singing, like the Thyagaraja Pancharatnam. Good decision by Ravikiran to highlight that composition. The kannaDa piece on Rajarajeswari sounded interesting as well. He sang only the first line due to lack of time, it will be great to hear the full composition at a different occasion.

For a change, the Q&A was not frivolous, was quite apt about the theme and not about the artist.
