What an outstanding concert by Shri Ramakrishnan Murthy
He started off brilliantly with a Dikshitar’s navAvaraNa kRirthi in "kalyANi" followed it with a pleading in reeti gowLa saying " Why delay in protecting him" and the next one with a scintillating "Saveri" alapana – to Ambal to bestow good fortune and vanquish enemies then requesting to see him through "kaDaikkaN vaithennai" with an out of the world "bEgaDa" alapana.
I have heard Sharada Bhujangam by Smt D K Pattammal and of course by Shri P B Sreenivas and first time hearing a brilliant musical display in ragamalika by Shri Ramakrishnan Murthy in a concert and there cannot be any glorious tribute to Ambal than the one composed by Shri Adi Shankarar.
