Kuldeep’s concert sounded different and energetic in the way he selected the rAgAs and presented them. nArAyaNi was sub main and bhavapriyA was main, with sruthi bEdham from gA (vAgadhIsvari). Melakkaveri Thyagarajan and C.S.Venkatramanan played well.

Thanks for the report, erode sir. This is the first time I'm hearing about Kuldeep. Whose sishya is he?

There is a clue in the list of songs/ragas he chose to present.

[sappri]

I thought he was KVN's student?

He elaborated an excellent Jhankaaradhwani during the season for Narada Gana Sabha. Very talented!

I heard him at Indian Fine arts this season on the Jan 1st morning. It was one of the best concerts in the season. Had a good bunch of accompanists there,
