Accompanists

BUG
Anantha R. Krishnan

Started with the Gowlai panchratnam. Nice long characteristic aakaram for a bunch of avartanas & landed back with surgical precision.

Garuda gamana in nagaswarali with a rapid fire swara prasthara bracketed by the chitta swaras

Now atana alap.

[sureshvv]

Atana alap ending in mel sa with some delicate hummed sancharas around it. Nice violin volley from Ganesh Prasad that tempts Abhishek to continue around the mel sa & moving into chadey buddhi manura. Beautiful aakara with Sri vasudeva & kalpana swaras at pallavi

[sureshvv]

Request to turn down the bright stage lights before launching into Subhapantuvarali

Whole 9 yards treatment covering 3 octaves & a measured foray into brindavani in the tara sthayi. All the motodrome sancharas providing a non-pathos filled glimpse into the raga.

[sureshvv]

Nee samanam evaru starting briskly providing a flashback of a pre season concert a couple of years ago. Neraval at vasudevu nee priya sodhari

[sureshvv]

Like a japanese master chef he sliced & diced time and brought into relief numerous shapes & designs switching eduppus from the start of pallavi to kalasagari? ending the swaras in a cascade and audience takes over in applause

[sureshvv]

Tiny tots sitting on stage as part of the audience & keeping tala over tani.

Ela radayenay kaminee - padam in bhairavi (corrected)

Ini oru kanam, sriranjani, starting with neela mega after comment that normally sriranjani not sung after bhairavi but he felt like singing this song.

Now vadanadyuti in madhyama sriti ( panchamam podadhe )
