Maharajapuram Srinivasan in his concert organized by Rasika Fine Arts, in association with Jaigopal Garodia Hindu Vidyalaya on 30th December, pleaded with Lord Krishna, if He had not yet realized the musician’s mind (meaning his innermost feelings in his heart) through Charukesi varam “ INNUM EN MANAM ARIYAADHAVAR POLAâ€

Just a point to note: The mangalam is actually titled Ni nama rupamulaku and not Pavamana. Pavamana is the first charanam.

Nagai Muralidharan is a highly underrated violinist and he should start playing solo more often.

[arasi]

Bala, under-rated may be, but he was very much visible this season--I heard him accompanying a few vocalists and his brindAvana sAranga was superb after Sanjay's RTP AlApanA at the Academy on christmas day. Look for the Hindu review on another thread (TNS?)

[mridhangam]

i dont think Nagai Sir is an under-rated musician anyway. He was very well supported by none other than the great Maharajapuram Santanam. And now Sanjay Subramaniam's most favoured accompaniment is Mr.Nagai Muralidharan. may be he is very choosy and selective in his concert schedule. The number of concerts an artiste plays or sings need not be a yardstick for rating or underrating.

Member Jagagardens ! i dont think Sri.UKS is an octagenerian. He was born on 17-12-1935 in his early seventies. May be we can call him septuagenarian. Anyway this is in no way to criticise member Jagagardens. Just pointed out for the sake of correctness of information dissemination.
