Re: Sangeeta Swaminathan @ NGS mini 23-12-2012
sounds like a Sudha/MLV list from the early 80s.
and top accompanists too.
Is Sangeetha recorded much these days? She had a few concerts out through Charsur about 8-10 years ago, but I haven't see any in recent years.

Re: Sangeeta Swaminathan @ NGS mini 23-12-2012
Some impressions on the concert:
1. The opening sri raga varnam was presented in breezy style while this particular varnam is more suited for an emphatic style of delivery to bring out its full beauty. A few even mix in some theatrics for additional credit
2. The concert picked up tempo at the 2nd item itself with a fantastic neraval and swara prathara. Particular attention was accorded to the lyrics with some wonderful imagination by both the violinist and the vocalist. For eg. Raghavendra Rao played the entire arohanam in a fast brigha sanchara for the word "uyarndar" and Sangeeta sang some interesting swara combinations - lower in the scale for panindu and higher ranges for uyarndar.
3. Bindumalini alapana followed by Kosalam alapana. This was like 2 full moons in Margazhi.
4. "Ka guha shanmuga neeye" has great potential and could become the "Edhayya gathi" of the next decade. Even "kaalan" started appearing irresistible in the "anugaamaley" sangatis. Don't see a neraval in my notes though.
5. Niroshta followed immediately & I had a bit of a reservation on the raga being very close but the audience would have none of it and the hall resounded with a loud applause for the kalpana swaras in tisra nadai.
6. Raghavendra Rao is usually impassive but was really having a good time here showcasing his abilities to play the brigha laden kambodhi sancharas.
7. The neraval and swaras was at Bhooloka vaikunta. The "Bhoo loka" must have been delivered more than a couple dozen times in the swara prasthara and every time the "loka" was landed on with mind-boggling combination of complexity, precision and subtle variation. You have to hear it to believe it! That would be the closest I will get to sorga vaasal
8. The sumanesaranjani kriti is becoming a flag bearer of sorts bringing out the individuality of this raga from its other family members.

This particular concert was sponsored & recorded by Charsur as part of their festival & should be available anytime now.mahavishnu wrote: Is Sangeetha recorded much these days? She had a few concerts out through Charsur about 8-10 years ago, but I haven't see any in recent years.
