A wonderful ambience with the giants on stage in full flow. Ravikiran was a brilliant accompanist, reproducing in a trice, sangathis of rare krithis which he himself confessed that he was not familiar with. Ramakanth sang an excellent Mohanam. Srimushnam had a distractionary conversation with the mikeman but his accompaniment was solid. Tisram it was for tani and a one avartha korvai to sum things up.

As requested, theme was "Mysore as a seat of music"...not sure where HMB fits in though!

[Jigyaasa]

I really dunno why ppl split the word vandEnishamaham as to sound like vande nishamaham. It's vandE+anisham(I prostrate always)

[vijay]

Thanks Jigyaasa - will correct

[Jigyaasa]

He he.. It's still wrong... It should be written as a single word... That's the whole point Never mind... I guess I'm too much of a stickler for sAhityam... Nit-picking bordering on indulgence... Ppl hardly pay attention to the lyric most of the time...

Edited again!

Vijay, HMB was with the court of the Mysore maharaja for a while. Many of his songs are about Chamundeswari as well.

Nope. Chitravina N Ravikiran, who accompanied Sri R K Srikantan on chitravina that day in lieu of the usual violin.

Just for correctness sake, this piece is by sadAShiva rAu as well. It seems this composer's pieces tended to be the main feature of the concert. Some rare compositions of vAsudEvacArya as well. Nice to have thematic concerts, isn't it?

always evolving,

Thanks for the clarification.
