If you are referring to the Music Academy concert on 25th Dec. 2007,I also attended this particular concert and I had the same feeling; I had noted down all the details in a slip of paper; seem to have misplaced it.If I can lay my hands on it, I can post my observations.I was waiting to discuss with some people who attended the same.

Mohan you are absolutely right. I took the shruti to be 3 kattai and found that there is no pancamam (I was cock sure:) hence toying with Hindolam (which of course did not fit) Actually it is 2 kattai which fits nicely with madhyamavati whose grahbhedam on rishabham gives Hindolam. All along i took his pancamam for madhyamam and got totally fooled. Thanks for suggesting the grahabhedam.
At any rate his aalaapana is non standard as Suji feels intuitively :)

I also got a feel of GNB...

Indeed that was it.

Couldn't find the GNB Madhyamavathi I was thinking of online.
There is a short alapana by GNB at

Maybe it was a Trichur Ramachandran version I was thinking of!

This concert by Abhishek was discussed in quite some detail in the Kutcheri Review section especially the Madhyamavati Raga Alapana. Unable to find it though.

There is no problem with identifying madhyyamavati at all except at the place Suji has posted. Justifiably the pidis are not there

Hi cmlover, I have been following your interesting observations and technical discussions. Thank you for the same.
I have a proposition for an opportunity to a derserving carnatic music content lover. I have created a site www.taaraa.com as a community platform for young carnatic music students, amateurs and enthusiasts to upload their profiles, songs, views and news and make their talents visible to the external world. I am presently looking for a person to manage, edit and administer the site content by collating news and keep the site updated with current news and act as a mediator for the blogs.
Training will be provided to maintain the site. A part time compensation also will be provided. This is an excellent opportunity for part time work for a student, housewife or a freelancer, one who appreciates carnatic music. The content editor need not be proficient in carnatic music. The person should be familiar in internet browsing and using a PC keyboard. Any one interested can get in touch with me at admin@taaraa.com. This is a non-profit service oriented initiative. All the best.
