Vijay Siva @ Doddaganapathi Temple, Bangalore

Post by srikant1987 »

03 Sep 2011

Vijay Siva - Vocal
Charulatha Ramanujam - Fiddle
Manoj Siva - Mridanga
Vyasa Vittal - Khanjari

(Rough & incomplete list)
karikaLabhamukham - sAvEri - tishraEka-2 - MD (sketch)
? - hamsadhwani - khaNDacApu - ? - (NS) (some Sanskrit song on Krishna -- unless it was extremely Sanskritised Telugu)
ninnu vinAga - pUrvikalyANi - cApu - SS (RNS)
? - dhanyAsi - Adi - ? (Tamil -- resembles "ittanai tulambaramAy")
saraguNapAlimpa - kEdAragauLai - Adi - Poochi (RNS)
toli nEnu jEsina - kOkiladhwani - Adi - T
tODi (apparently main)

I was actually wanting an all-Vinayaka concert. They're so rare!

The khaNDacApu piece and NS in haMsadhwani introduced briskness after the serious sAvEri. I was listening to Sri Vijay Siva after a long time. His sarvalaghu, flowing swarams really struck me, as did his measured (in terms of time given to it with respect to the krti) NS. The pUrvIkalyANi AlApanai was elaborate and memorable. So was Smt Charulatha Ramanujam's. Her reproductions of Sri Vijay's phrases were strikingly exact. As always, I missed force and volume in parts of her solo pUrvIkalyANi, which was otherwise arguably cleaner than Sri Vijay's even.

The kEdAragauLai, as all kEdAragauLais are, was a treat. I did notice, however, that in the pallavi there is a place where a "mgrs" would fit (after a long ri), where Sri Vijay Siva sang the "rgmg(m/p)grs"-piDi which usually comes in bilahari after a rgP. That piDi did fit, too! :D

I attended this concert also to see Manoj Siva's accompaniment. He did not disappoint. :D

Once I have heard VS sing kanaka sabhapathi darisanam - dhanyAsi - GKB no, could have been the same.

badari,

Good that you too attended the concert. Could you tell what was the haMsadhwani krti? Did you stay for the tODi krti and afterwards too (I saw a few others leave as the tODi AlApanai began too)?

If you attended BU Ganesh Prasad's concert yesterday, please do write about it! :D

One of the highlights for me last ramanavami was BUG's violin. Really liked it very much.
