Walked in when the varnam was almost complete.
A soulful concert - the Saveri alapana was the highpoint and the overall emotional appeal.
I admire artists like this - there is lot of 'truth' in their concerts.
Excellent mridangam and ganjira support lifted the concert to great levels.
A very well spent Margazhi morning!!!!!!!!
violin was by ms Ananthakrishnan (was mediocre - was trying to be too flamboyant I felt).
mridangam was by Mannargudi Eshwaran and Ganjira by BS Purushottaman.
list is:
1. navaragamaliga varnam
2. paripalayamam of swati tirunal (S at padmanabha)
3. Sreekanta neeyeda - bavapriya
4. narada guru swami - durbar (R,S)
5. parandhamavati - raga announced as dhamavathi
6. patti viduvaradu
7. Sree Rajagopala - R,N,S at "murari..."
left after an excellent tani avarthanam by the duo.

dhAmavathi is the name for dharmavathi in the asampUrna mELam scheme, isn't it?

Yes, but the treatment of the rAga is also slightly different - the SangIta SampradAya pradarshini pAThAntara of the composition that I have heard Ravikiran render starts with pa-nI,,,-da which is not heard in dharmavati compositions.

Ravikiran did a whole concert on "Raganga Ragas" a few months ago at Raga Sudha, about all the variations in these ragas and with the intent of keeping their identity alive.

Perumal,
Thanks for the review. Yes, G.Ravikiran is a serious artiste and no wonder you find him to be one among the genuine musicians. Balancing two careers still, I guess...
