Smt Bhushany Kalyanaraman at Kalpakkam

Post by bharathi »

Kalpakkam Sangeetha Sabha
Vocal: Bhushany Kalyanaraman
Violin: Pakkala Ramadas
Mrudangam:A S Ranganathan

16th September, Varasiddi Vinayakar temple, Kalpakkam township

Bhushany Kalyanaraman gave a mellifluous concert at Kalpakkam Sangeeta sabha. Being Bharat Ratna M S Subbulakshmi’s birthday, she dedicated the concert to her and performed many of the numbers popularised by her. I must say, that she did great justice to the legend, with perfect renditions. Here is the song list
1. Viriboni-Bhairavi –Ata talam-Paccimiriyam Ādiyappaiyyā
2. Sree Mahaganapathim-Gowlai-kanta chapu-Dikshithar-
Swaram at Prakasakaro
3. Ragam-Sree Ranjani followed by Maru balka- adi-tyagaraja
4. Devi Brova-Ragam Chintamani-Adi-SyamaShasthri
5. Sada Nanda thandavam-Bahudari-Adi-Atcuda Dasar
6. Ragam Chadrajyothi followed by-Bagayanayya-Dhesadi-Tyagaraja
7. Ragam-Kambodhi-O Rangasayee –Tyagarajar-neraval swaram at Bhuloka
8. Ranga puravihara-brindavana saranga-Dikshithar
9. Bhavayami Gopala Balam-yamuna kalyani
10. Kurai ondrum illai-ragamalikai-Rajaji
11. Dheem nathrudheem--?
On the whole it was a wholesome, melodious fare at the sabha, so much so, that there was a heavy down pour, as if the gods were pleased.
I must say that her paatantaram, was perfect to the syllable. Every swaram and anuswaram, in its place, rendered with ease. The two greats "Devi Brova and O Rangasayi" itself would have made my day.. they were stupendous..
I wish we could hear her more often in the December music season.

Kalpakkam plant may have had an extra ounce of power with moonlit chandrajyothi. Bhushany's husband mahavidwan s kalyanaraman has sung bhagayanayya with his sparkling brighas. I am not sure if MS amma has sung this chandrajyothi song .

The last thillana since you did not identify the ragam may have been s kalyanaraman gavati thillana That was a wild wild guess. Tx for your review , I have only listened to her once in a live concert.

The thillana must be the one in Brindavana saranga composed by S. Kalyanaraman.

She is one of the most underrated musicians :(

"I wish we could hear her more often in the December music season"

Good luck :(

Why not have fewer of the repetitions..of the so called greats and have few of the unsung musicians to sing
..it beats me that a singer of such talent will go unheard..
Prejudice or what?..

Me thinks –

Clannish prejudice :(
The field is populated with mediocrity :( / flashiness :( / so called “madi ;) sangeetham ;)
No PR ;)

One small redeeming factor - Vizag music academy honored her with the MS award last month :) :) :) ....................... :)
