The YACM male front runners - Unnikrishnan, Sriram Parthasarathy - that you refer to, are uncompromising in their delivery of classical music.shankarank wrote: ↑09 Aug 2017, 22:35 The prior generation (MLV, G.S Mani) and Ravi Kiran, even if they held some opinions , their stage performance reflected the full truth! The YACM male front runners have single handedly caused this confusion! They are a bad debt write off!
They do not pander to the audience. In fact, Unnikrishnan in his earlier days sounded SO much like S Ramanathan - especially when rendering krithis like Varalandu (Gurjari).
Film music was to supplement, not do detract from their Carnatic music journeys.
Even Embar Kannan plays so much violin - for things like Christian gospel music!!! Yet, his carnatic music is uncompromising, and often is better than the main artistes themselves! Case in point- I can only listen to Sudha and Bombay Jayashree when Embar Kannan plays for them and helps them make the concert a success!!!
Yet, today, this seems to be changing. People like Cuddalore Jananiy (who can't even spell her name), Mahati, and Mahanadhi Shobana Vignesh, sing Carnatic music mediocrely, and focus on their film careers. As a result, they all sound like rats trapped between doors, unable to sing full throatedly without resorting to falsetto.
Hence, I compose this viruttham. I expect that it will be added to Lakshman sir's krithi database, and the above Rodent Triad will sing this before their concerts .
