Thanks for the review, sivakami. Getting to hear Nedunuri Garu's music in person is a rare treat these days - what a great experience this must have been!

thanks! As I am not trained formally in Carnatic Music, I would not say its a review but a sort of a report. I just wanted to share the excitement and the exuberance of that kucheri. Also, how the younger generations should try and learn to emulate the Stalwart's qualities atleast to some extent...

That exuberance and excitement only matters, thanks for posting and keep continuing from hyderabad. BTW one interesting observation , almost all singers based out of andhra/karnatakA sing typically one thamizh filler/tukkadA and it is usually "am I a toy (nAn oru vilayAtu bommaiyA)"

One should appreciate Sri Nedunuri garu for singing a Tamil song to an audience comprising mostly of Telugu speakers. BTW I am a Telugu and I always used to wonder whether any Andhra singer would sing a Tamil song in Andhra Pradesh. Wonderful, really one has to appreciate the great man.

Rajesh,
After all the tossing of the 'toy', may I chime in to say that PS exclaims in the first line: is it fair that you test me, trifle with me? That 'bommaiyA?' somehow sticks in our minds, I suppose. I am saying this because it should not give non-tamizh speakers the idea that it is a song about a toy :)
Though I have heard this song umpteen times (not my favorite among his songs), and though I have heard Nedunuri sing it several times--whenever he does not sing parAtparA for a tamizh song, I love listening to his singing both!

isramesh,
Isn't it nice to hear Tyagaraja's compositions in Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai and to hear tamizh songs in Hyderabad, Bengaluru and kannaDa songs in all the above places and songs in all the languages elsewhere in the world too? After all, CM finds expression in every one of them and more--not forgetting DRS's sanketi compositions. And Cleveland Aradhana is just round the corner :)

Rajesh - I am sure that you've heard DKJ's version of nAn oru viLLaiyATTu bommaiyA...something that is impossible to forget - the song was written for him - and you may be right, from others, it may sound trite...

Arasi,
Yes! I was going to write the same thing about Nedunuri's rendition of both songs, 'parAtparA' and 'nAn oru'. As you rightly said, CM finds expression in everyone....

In general,
I must also add that Nedunuri garu was magnanimous to acknowledge the recognition and support from Chennai (all the sabhas etc.,) in his speech (Sorry! I am not able recollect his words exactly).

Even his disciples (Malladi Sodharulu) make it a point to sing one thamizh song in most of their concerts, here at Hyd.
This speaks about his GREATNESS!!
