Sikkil Gurucharan

[raj-123]

Opening a thread for Gurucharan also. I have listened to his Tiruppavai, Tiruvembavai and Kaveri Pattinam. All are excellent. Opening a thread for other rasikas reviews/critiques/comments. He seem to have few albums and not making much news.. Is he active in sabha performances?

I don't know about sabha performances, but I listened to him twice in Singapore this year- both were good concerts. He presented a very nice Pakkala Nilabadi and RTP in Shudh Sarang in the former, and a great Mohanam (Kapali) and Varali in the latter (tamil-krithi themed concert). His raga alapanais were very good, and I was especially impressed by his planning. His concerts had a nice mix of rare krithis and well-known ones. He possibly needs a little more azhuttham in neravals and swaras (especially tarasthayi swaras). In about five years, I think he'll be first-rate (assuming he matures).

He is going to perform in Music Academy on the 30th 1.45 pm slot. Looking forward to attending the same

Is he active in sabha performances?

To me he has already reached the senior slot , all slots excepting music academy he had got prime evening concert slot in the last kutcheri season. Also he is able to get top ranking accompanist to play for him. I attended only one in the last concert series in kalakshetra last season , his RTP in keeravani , his first shree ranjani (IIRC varnam by pApansam sivan) and he sang a lovely kedaram ananda natana prakAsam, he is sure to become a very popular artist.
