Sri. NR has a wonderful voice. As a person he is very humble, appears calm inspite of managing a hectic schedule, balancing his office responsibilities as a senior executive as well as his music commitments & concerts. Last Saturday evening @ 6 PM, by chance (luckily) I came to know that he was going sing in a place nearby, in another hour. I was very delighted as the venue is walkable(3-4 min) for me and also that I was free that evening. The sabha organizing the concert normally are leisurely and arrange to start any concert only by 7.30 PM. That day also, as some veda pandit was visiting, and was asked to give a short lecture on the greatness of Sadhguru Thyagaraja swamy. It went on for nearly an hour. After that when the actual concert started it was past 7.50, but NR started with a big bang and sang till 10.10 PM.
Accompaniments:
R. Dinakar (vio), DSR Murthy (mri), Saraswathula Hanumatha Rao (ghatam) & Syamkumar (kanjira)

The brisk ‘meru samana’ set the pace for all the artistes on stage. The wonderful camaraderie that prevailed throughout the concert was another reason that there was not a dull moment inspite of the lateness of the hours. Every krithi was rendered with so much of ‘sahithya bhavam’. We enjoyed the excellent manodharmam displayed. His clear diction and appropriate pauses during the neraval and other places brought out the essence of the saint composer v well. (Only it seemed as if Harikhamboji was walking with me that week, because out of the 6 concerts that I attended, 4 had harikhamboji & that too 3 of ‘entha rani’.) The excellent purvikalyani kriti was a rare one for me. The unhurried and serene Todi main was really soothing. Again after the tani avarthanam & speeches, song item #s 9, 10 & 11 evoked a sense of calm and peace. As the mike settings were apt for all the 5 vidwans on the stage (unlike when main artistes subdue the accompanists sometimes) the effect was vibrant and pleasing! Basically, it was A soul-stirring kucheri
His parents were sitting with us, with so much of patience & grace; not even a frown looking at the unnecessary, prolonged delays. Afterwards his mother was mentioning that even his father sings at home regularly.
Next morning, after the pancharatna seva lead by NR & 2 others in another sabha, during the 1-song slots, we got a bonus to listen to Ramamurthy garu singing 'Emana dichevo' in sahana+ his father's rendition of 'evarani' & his daughter's 'mithri bhagyame'.
