Superbly curated choice of songs and viruttams.
Ragasudha hall was packed to the rafters (as was Parthasarathy Swami Sabha for his lec-dem today morning, and Music Academy mini-hall on Friday). He's cementing his place as a lec-dem superstar - not that this was a lec-dem, but his brief intros were received with great enthusiasm.

One of the finest presentations.
It was like seeing Sri D K Jayaraman on stage, sung in unison with utmost perfection.
RKS used to be part of the DKJ Group singing in the late 80s, as a student and violinist and also is trained under him for some years.

TRULY CLASSICAL !!

I had the same feeling... DKJ with his disciples... RKSK with his (mostly) disciples....

I have attended almost a dozen such presentations of DKJ with his students. It used to be truly a large scale stage with a dozen plus students surrounding him and violin and mrigandam support. The perfection and the unison was the hallmark of his presentation - The Dikshitar Navavarnam, SHyama Sastry kritis / swarajathis, Thyagaraj compositions, Panchalinga Kshetra kritis etc. The effort that used to go in to bring the best of all the singers. the coordination, etc is just mind blowing.

While it was nice to see RK Shriramkumar present this on Arudra, he lacks the coordination skills and Charisma that Shri DK Jayaraman used to have. Ramakrishnan Murthy seemed to be disinterested with the proceedings while Amritha was quite involved who helped steer the show. Program was marred by many Sruthi lapses, not so eloquent communication and an inaudible mridangam

Was happy to be there. But considering the caliber of the "students", I wish the shlokas had been handed off to them rather handled by RKS himself. RKM likely would have been less disinterested then :idea:
