Bhairavi

goks · Post by **goks** » 01 May 2006, 22:52

This ragam is specially close to my heart. And Baalagopala is just a breathtaking composition.There has not been one practice session when I havent experienced myself getting overwhelmed whenever I reach the line 'AaNavAdi vijaya mAnasakara' in the charanam. Such a lovely composition and raga combination is indeed rare. Dikshitar has very well brought out the emotions of the lyrics of this composition beautifully with the help of this pristine ragam.
MS's RTP in NaadaSudha Rasa is another mystifying experience which all carnatic connoisseurs ought to hear.
This ragam sounds really good if sung in a slow pace(vilambam). If the gamakas surrounding the two dhaivathams are properly exploited I guess ur Bhairavi should be really good.
This is one ragam which has given me peace and bliss which none else has managed to. Bhairavi is a ragam which truly evokes the Bhakti in you

Hi i am new to this board, but i have been learning music since i was3 1/2. Bhairavi, in my opinion is a very challenging yet, extremely enjoyable raga. Some of the best songs are in bhairavi, Upacharamu jesevarunnarani maravakura, enati nomu phalamu, Ikanannu Brovakunna. Aside from these Thyagaraja compositions, there is the exceptional swarajathi by Syamashastri, Kamakshi. There are several rare ones, like Raksha Bettare doraku and Chetulara sringaramu jesi that are an absolute delight to encounter, because not only are they perfect rhythm and tune wise, but the meaning is splendid! Thanks for giving me a chance to express the beauty of Bhairavi

rbharath · Post by **rbharath** » 18 May 2006, 10:42

personally, the most enjoyable piece in bhairavi is the varNam viribhONi. Shyama Sastri's sariyevarammA being a close second. The swarajati and bAlagOpAla and kamalAba navAvarNam are all real gems composed in the ragam.

Vocalist · Post by **Vocalist** » 18 May 2006, 13:02

To me, the best Bhairavi is Dikshithar's Baalagopaala, depending on who sings it. Viriboni (Varnam), Raksha Bettare (Thyagaraja) and Rama Kodhandha Rama (Thyagaraja) runs close behind, followed by Syama Sastri's Amba kaamaakshi and Arunachala Kavirayar's Yaaro Ivar Yaaro...

For some reason, I did not like Papanasam Sivans Thaye Yezhaippal.

My earliest fancy was for the lines of MS-Sundaresa Suguna brinda Dasaratha Nandana- in Enati nomu phalamo.They would always give me the goosebumps.

anyway here is a rendering by TRS of the same kriti.

I heard MS singing Enati nomu phalamo...
You are right...
It actually gives goose bumps.. nerval and Swaram are also quite good.

I knew I missed one other Thyagaraja krithi. MSS singing Viriboni & Enati Nomu Phalamo was probably my first listen to the spectacular bhairavi rAgA.

Vocalist · Post by **Vocalist** » 18 May 2006, 18:35

I'm not sure, but I thought there was a RTP of TRS in the same rAgA?

My earliest fancy was for the lines of MS-Sundaresa Suguna brinda Dasaratha Nandana- in Enati nomu phalamo.They would always give me the goosebumps.

I have always felt that the privilege of listening to this song by MSS comes definitely under the category of 'E nATi nOmu phalamO, E dAna phalamO?'!

I love her version of AK's 'yArO? ivar yArO?'...as well as the DKP/DKJ version of the same song.

rajeshnat · Post by **rajeshnat** » 18 May 2006, 20:51

I like Tanayuni Brova of Thyagaraja too. Personally I feel the longest single krithi/swarajathi marathon is singing the popular shyamaSAstri's swarajathi .(Alapana of Bhairavi + KAmakshee sangathi + Neraval in Shyama Krishna Sodharee + KalpanaSwarams). Test of real endurance ,only few can make it.

Coolkarni - the TRS alapana before EnAti is wonderful. His voice has touches of GNB at times.

coolkarni · Post by **coolkarni** » 19 May 2006, 07:41

Mohan
TRS has acknowledged , at many places , his fascination for GNB's music.
So it is not surprising.
I have another clip of Samaja .I dont know where I picked it , but it starts somewhere in the middle and stops abruptly .Inspite of that, this clip is vintage TRS and very remniscent of GNB
here it is

new1 · Post by **new1** » 17 Jun 2006, 21:10

Thanks for the nice clips..

As a non-techie listener, I should say Koluvai by MMI is the best Bhairavi I have heard..it makes you feel you are in some kind of 'oonjal' swinging happily..

ar_ncr · Post by **ar_ncr** » 19 Jun 2006, 20:36

Feels good to be back (as a part of Carnatic music forum). After the Sangeetham.com (temp???) maintenance shutdown, I too ended up shutting myself off. A friend of mine directed me to this group..And I see a lot of familiar names.

Saw this topic on Bhairavi and could not resist penning my thoughts on this exquisite raaga.

For the uninitiated (in formal training) like me, there is always this one raagam/singer that would make a person sit up and say ... "Oh my!! why did I not listen to Carnatic Music before". That was prety much how my journey with Carnatic music started 4 years ago listening to Bhairavi expounded by MMI. I do not know if it was MMI's inimitable charm or the sheer beauty of the raaga or maybe both.

Ever since, as my knowledge in this domain grew in tiny steps, i still rated MMI's Bhairavi as amongst the best. Until I heard MS's Yaaro Ivar Yaaro. Oh the sheer bliss of the rendition and to think the piece lasts all of 4 odd minutes!

Amongst the other Bhairavi renditions i like are Somu's and MDR's Amba Kamakshi. Correct me if I'm wrong, listening to Bhairavi presented by most artists gives an impression this raagam deserves a very serene and sobre delineation. MMI seems to bring a whole new aspect to the raagam.. Just my thought. I may be wrong on this

Hello All!!!

Please could someone post a good male rendition of Kamakshi Swarajati of Syama shastri in Bhairavi...I did download the MDR posted in this site, but his pitch is too low for me to learn. Could some one help me with the likes of KVN or Semmangudi please...Thanks in advance...

You put me on a wild goose chase here.
initially did not realise that it was impossible to get a rendering other than mdr-chembai-ssi.Very very strange.

anyway here is a track of voleti singing it without accompanists.
I have added a tailpiece- a grand one from an AIR recital- by Kiranavali on the chitraveena.It has all the majesty of a good male rendering.

my apologies for getting back to rapidshare.rogepost is a bit roguish today.

Bhairavi is one of my favorites as well. KV Narayanaswami's RTP "Govindanadi Mukundanadi yenakku avar sondamadi" is simply awesome! The Ariyakudi school specializes in Tyagaraja's "Koluvaiyunnade" as does the Musiri school in Patnam Subramaniam Iyer's "Neepaadamule". The tamil padams "Velavare," "Inimel avarakkum," and "Muhattaikattiya deham" are in a class by themselves as is the ravishingly beautiful javali "Yelaraada kaamini." Brinda and Mukta's rendition of Kshetrayya's "Rama rama" is veritable feast indeed. Does one know if there are tillanas in this raga?

suryameena · Post by **suryameena** » 17 Jun 2007, 08:13

I have just learnt about this site from youtube and am here. I am an ardent lover of canatic music.
Bhairavi owes its origin to the Raag Natabairavi which is a melakartha Raag. I am informed that apart from natabairavi, anandha bairavi also belongs to this melakartha raag.
At the same time, I find a lot of similarity amongst Bhairavi, Mukhari and Hussaini.
Will you please enlighten on the differences in Arokana and Avarohana of these Raagas?
Do all these raags belong to Suddha Madhyamam?
Again, what is the raag in Hindusthani, which is close to raag Bhairavi.? Raag Bairavi so named in Hindushthani classical Music is indeed our Sindhu Bairavi only. Do the other raags for instance anandha bairavi, mukhari also find a place in HCM..?
