As I’ve noted earlier on this forum, Vijay Siva is a statistician’s worst nightmare and I am happy to note that my professor’s bad dream continues (For Sriram’s benefit, Rahul Mukherjee honoured me with grades that were, ahem…at some distance from the comforting cusp of the normal curve. These may partially explain my intermittent vituperations against him!). However as I also noted when I last expressed an opinion on a Vijay Siva concert, one feels a certain restraint which reduces what ought to be a slam dunk to a subtler, but less climactic, lay-up. Perhaps, this is exactly the artiste’s intention and it is the caviling rasika who needs to refine, or worse redefine, his musical values.
The skewed audio balance took some sheen out of Thyagaraja’s musical discourse and placed it instead on the mrudangist head – I am not alluding to Shri Neyveli Narayanan’s receding hairline which, admittedly, can legitimately claim to have achieved certain reflective effects of its own!
The soundman soon got his act together and the second Thyagaraja song came leaping out of the mrudangist’s shell. Moving on, Vijay Siva’s Kalyani was pure Gangajal from the mouth of Gomukh and while Vijayalakshmi’s concoction was sweeter, it appeared to be flavored with a few drops from the river’s conjoined twin. The geographical analogy was more firmly established by the pieces that followed – the flow of the concert was subjected to gravitational certainties after that point although, like the Ganges meandering through the cow belt, majesty of expression made up, to some extent, for lost vigor.
A brief countercurrent was engineered by Narayanan, who was a bit of a hero yesterday evening, with some deliciously distracting patterns lacing the vocalist’s ideas. Freed from these he went on to weave a magnificent tapestry of tisram.
Some ebbs and tides in the flow then, but still strong enough “on an averageâ€
