Hi All,
i have posted my review of TMK's concert in my website www.shivanisai.com in the music season review section

iam copying my review of T.M.krishna i posted in my website.

T.M.krishna at Kartik fine arts at Narada Gana Sabha on 2nd dec 2007

accompaniments-Sriram Parasuram-Violin

-Sri.Umayalpuram K.Sivaraman-Mridangam

-Sree Sunderkumar-Kanjira

.TMK gave an excellent concert for Kartik fine arts today.His Begada and Bhairavi raga alapanas were of high standard.TMK is one musician who is quality conscious and his unhurried style of singing is very unique.Each sangati was brimmed with bhava and totally sruthi oriented.His voice was so good and flexible that he could reach thara sthayi panchamam in Begada very easily.Sri UKS gave acknowledgements for each sangati and was so involved throughout the concert.Sriramâ€™s violin was so perfect in sruthi and technique and the whole team gave a memorable concert.There was so much silence in their total concert.I meant the silence of listenerâ€™s mind when listening to such a soulful music.Sri.UKS gave so much pauses for TMK to finish phrases and he joined with the sruthi with his chapu with perfect sruthi and nadham.What a fingering,speed,control sri UKS has at his age?It is unbeleivable.He is really a Kaliyuga nandhi.

The unhurried Thyagarajaya namaste by TMK was very good and the swaras by him and Sriram was very sweet and crisp.

The bhairavi raga alapana by TMK was SSI style and the akarams brought nostalgic moments.The Upacharamu in two kalai was rendered very well and the neravl at â€œkapata natakaâ€

Dear Anna,

Thank you for the wonderful review.

How was audio system? I had a concert at 'sri parvathi' [music connoisseurs club] and was unable to attend this. Your review made me cool.

Apparently, Sanjay also gave a concert on saturday, December 01, with Varadarajan and Neyveli Venkatesh. I dont have exact details, but kedaram varnam, mohanam, excellent ananda bhairavi, brilliant ramapriya, extraordinary sama (main piece) were what was described to me as the menu on offer

! Needless to say, my cousin is a die-hard fan of anything TMK and Sanjay offer....so, perhaps the details I offer are not objective whatsoever in any form or manner.

definitely a much better concert than last year's edition.
