A brilliant concert which would have reached greater heights if the pakka vadhhyam was pakka.
Like Dhoni saving India in one dayers Shankar narayanan single handedly won the match – concert.
A brilliant Ganamurte,Evarikai ,crisp Vamuruga in begada were wonderfully rendered.The syama was sedate
He then sarted the masterful kalyani alaap and pankaja lochana .What an alaap and neraval and swaram! Simply spell bound by the array of neravals and swarams he unleashed.Amazing.
RTP was just out of the world .Alternating between Vasanta and bhairavi in R and Tanam he was in full command.When he came to swaras he showed his class by bringing in Vasanta bhairavi and did a marvelous finish.outstanding RTP .
He followed with Thunbam nergayil and muruga in ragamalika.
He showed his class in fast swaras and quick change of ragam with out confusing the audience.
The violinist was clearly struggling to cope up with his energy and dynamism ,while mridangam was a bit better .
There was distinct TNS stamp in his rendition of swaras and crisp alaaps and neravals and not to mention trying new pidis.
A singer to watch indeed .It was announced that he is Vice President in Citibank Singapore and keeps flying to India for concerts.Kudos to him for working and singing so wonderfully.
A wonderful concert worth attending only for Shankarnarayanan’s energetic singing .
