Sahityanubhava-Carnatica Brothers-Arkay Convention

Post by arabhi01 »

The concept of focusing on Contemporary composers' works is interesting. Good effort by Carnatica in showcasing these modern day compositions. I had been wanting to go on all the 3 days but eventually could make it only on the last day.

Shashikiran and Ganesh were accompanied by J.Vaidyanathan on the mridangam and Nagai Sriram on the violin.

The ambiance at Arkay Convention Center is really good with pleasant lighting and comfortable seating arrangement.

1.Omkara ganapathiye-Hindolam-Adi-Kalyani Krishnaswamy (S)
2. Saravanabhava-Bilahari-Misra Chapu-Ravikiran
3.Kalaivaniye-Kanada-Kanta Chapu-Kalyani Krishnaswamy (R outline)
4.Hanuma anuma-Sarasangi-Adi-Dr.Balamuralikrishna(R&S)
5.Devi-Hamir Kalyani-Adi-Kalyani Krishnaswamy(R, N&S)
6.Karpagame-Madyamavati-Adi-Kalyani Krishnaswamy(R,S, Thani)
7.Mahadeva shiva-Revathi-Thankjavur Shankara iyer-Adi
8.Thillana-Hamsanadam-Misra Chapu-Ravikiran
9.Maithreem Bhajatha

I liked the kalpana swarams that followed the hindolam kriti at the start of the concert. Hamir Kalyani alapana by the brothers as well as Nagai Sriram was superb. It sounded very pleasing and melodious. J.Vaidyanathan's playing was absolutely lively and the artists on stage seemed to be enjoying their performance. Ravikiran's Hamsanadham thillana sounded simply great !

The style (with different nadais) suggests that the tune for this Composition might have been set by the brothers or the brothers' brother Ravikiran !

Few more as well !
