badari,

I thought it was mandolin brothers, ie Rajes was also accompanying.

In some other thread (ganesh kumaresh violin) I heard Usrinivas played dharmavathi though
there was a doubt about it.

So is bindumalini the main.
No RTP, surprising in a instrumental concert.

Sorry i misseed out.... It was U Srinivas and U Rajesh

Honours was done after Bindumalii.. Keeravani was the main piece

I heard him live last in 2004. I guess nothing much has changed. Just a lot of noise...
I wish he'd listen to his own performances from the late 80's.

How can u call yourself a karnatiklover if you cannot respect an artist of Shrinivas' caliber. If you do not like his music, dont listen to it rather than disrespecting him. What a bunch of haters!!

Was it an off day for H.K. Venkatram? He plays very well as a rule.

dwade,
Those who have posted above don't question Srinivas's vidvat. His great ability in playing an instrument with limited scope is acknowledged by them. These are comments just on his recent performances. Of course, tastes differ too.

I would pay this a lot more attention if this was the poster's universal opinion about so many other posts that have found fault with other established, as well as up-and-coming artists. This poster only comes to the defense of Srinivas..

This is a forum where we are all carnatic lovers (whether or not we like the current playing styles of Sri Srinivas, Sri Kadri, Vid Kanyakumari etc) - all that is asked of us is to be polite and objective in our criticisms (even if we question someone's vidvat). I think KarnatikLover was well within his rights to say what he said, because of the tone in which he said it.

Of course tastes differ..thats the whole point. If you dont like someone's music, well, good for you. You don't have to disrespect the artist or the playing style. There are lot of people who love and listen to his music to this day and he still plays for packed houses!!

I couldn't care less if you do not pay any attention to my posts. Yes, as a matter of fact U.Shrinivas is my guru and I take strong objection if someone maligns his playing style. What is your qualification to "criticize" and question his "vidvat"? As mentioned in my post above, there are a lots of people who care for his music today and that doesn't mean their taste is inferior. Can you tell me what is objective about terming Shrinivas' style of music as noise?? Of course people have different opinions, but, in a public forum people should also be sensitive to others tastes and interests. Try to think from the other person's point of view before playing devil's advocate.

There's no accounting for taste, so U Srinivas's "playing to packed houses" doesn't mean anything -- popularity doesn't equal vidwath, and I'm sure all rasikas are aware of the difference.

Dwade is fully entitled to come to his guru's defence, so long as we don't have comments like "what is your qualification to criticise.....etc". Intemperate remarks such as these do nothing to further one's argument.

As for the term "noise", it is unfortunate, but US's recent concerts do seem to have a surfeit of percussion at the cost of melody.

What is unfortunate is people like "you" questioning Shrinivas' vidwath. Of course he doesn't have to prove anything to anyone. There are always a small set of people who are unhappy about everything and everyone else in life. Who are you to judge a rasika? Just because you like/dislike something doesn't entitle you to judge another rasika..You have not proved anything in your argument. Finally, if you think his concerts produce noise, why even bother?

I must have problems understanding - weren't you the one who started to judge another rasika? Or, do you have special qualifications to do so?

bilahari · Post by **bilahari** » 14 Oct 2009, 07:43

This is a borderline case, but I think DNFTT applies.

It is sad, but Dwade's responses are becoming noisier than the concerts he is defending. No point in continuing this discussion.

Concert songs : main and submain are already avilable as albums.
Noise : I agree in some of his concerts due to rhythm guys.
And he plays to gallery nowadays (excluding his favorites like raghuvamsa..)

Nowadays I donot go to his concerts with lots of interest for the fear of repetition and the noise. I guess noise is not something found in every concert.
He is such a great vidwan and senior to even Sanjay & Vijay Siva and even in wisdom dept, with so many albums ...But still something missing
in his concerts. A 1 hour each , Main and RTP with only mridangam with one mike just before him - will be great
