concert started on bright note with kalyani ata tala varnam. Thyagaraja palaya sumam & amba neelayatakshi was sung in vilamba kalam and was too slow. in gowlai keerthana, swaras were sung in two places and mel kala swaras in madhyama kala passage - sri guruguha. mukhari alapana was good. It was interesting that krishna took a padam to sing as main. pallavi was executed well. All accompanying artists supported well. Too many keerthanas in vilamba kalam doesn't make concert great, this concert also falls in that bucket.

My take is exactly on the same lines. Far too many kritis were on the slower side. Gaula , Neelambari and Mukhari , all the maajor pieces were in slow tempo.

pallavi was in misra nadai and not khanda nadai.

chatushra triputa is Adi no? It's just Adi miSra-naDai then.

You mean Adi - Khanda Nadai, I guess.. (the review states the Pallavi was in Khanda Nadai).

But gravikiran says it was misra nadai ... well, one of those.

Seems to have been a good concert. I , for one, dont mind vilamba kala krithis as main items. I enjoy them immensely. I think certain ragas are exploited best in vilamba kalam, but that may be just me

!!

In a recent concert in Seshadripuram, I heard a wonderful Mamava Pattabirama as the main. But I thought he mixed up fast and slow numbers well in that concert. I think slow numbers bring out bhava and raga definition beautifully whereas fast numbers aid in fast swara prasthara and provide a general adrenaline rush without allowing the enthusiasm to fade . However I understand the need for madhayama kala renditions cause such krithis seem to combine the best of both worlds .. or do they? Would be a nice discussion isn't it?

Nice concert list, nevertheless.. Lucky Bangloreites .. wish I were there
