T Hemamalini
Erode Nagarajan.
*Pahimam Sri Rajarajeshwari-Nattai.
*Meenlochana-Dhanyasi*
*Biranavara.Kalyani.RNS
*Akilandeswari-Hindusthani Kapi.
*Kamakshi-Begada.RS
Tani.
*Sankari Sankuru-saveri.
*Sankari sankuru-Mangalam in Kalyani.(Sankirna triputa-may correct if wrong)
The artist ably maintained tempo balancing between slow and ralatively fast kritis of SS.The accompaniments ably supported her. Begada was nicely handled by violinist.Tani was short and sweet.
*I realised she could import the emotive passages bringing back the memory of the late guru Sri.A.Sundaresan(Who had such a passion for teaching SS kritis)predominantly in Sarasapadayukale-Nattai,Nikilathapaharini buvilona niinuminchinava revaruna rumma-H.Kapi.
*I found the Dhanyasi kriti Padantharam was different from AS school.(Nothing wrong- only observation.)
*I would have preferred her not repeating Kalyani particularly whenshe is not found wanting in rare kritis of SS.When I asked if she could have sung Brova vamma-Neelambari ,she told me" the audience might sleep"!

Mangalam in Kalyani is Sankari!Sankari! not Sankari sankuru.

this composition is said to be composed in karnATaka kApi. There are two versions one in karnATaka kApi and another in hindustani kApi. Dr BMK renders the karnATaka kApi version. Sri A Sundaresan used to render it in hindustani kApi, i guess Vasudha must have learnt from Sri AS

what is the difference? can anyone explain?

Peelu has been adopted as kapi since the kaakali nishadham has come to stay and rule the roost.Where as the kaisiki nishadam in Kapi, karnataka kaapi, hindusthan kapi is also being profusely used giving a sense of excastasy. Similarly both chathursruti kand sudha deivatham are also ised judiciously to enhance the beauty of this great ragam Just like sdindhubhairavi This ragam too has made heavy inroad in to our CM.

"Bhajare Yadunatham" is supposedly in Peelu, but the song actually sounds like it's in kapi. I have also heard a Peelu aalaap by Ustad Bismillah Khan which sounds very different from the Peelu that we know of. Ramaraj sir, Can you please explain the exact differences between the two ?

The Kapi , as is being sung to day in our CM has not left both the Ghandharams too( ANTARA and sadharana) . as a beauty attributed to this great ragam .Our COFFEE IS a cnfluence of KUMBAKONAM DEGREE COFFEE AND NESCAFE served in a silver tumbler. of CARNATIC MUSIC.

Bhakthaji,
As per textual references , Kapi is a derivative (22) k.h.Priya with sadarana ghandharam and kaisiki nishadam, where as as per our own textual reference , peelu has kaakali Nishadham being a derivativeof (21)kirvani If u listen "SumasaayE" of S.thirunaL the entire structure of kapi will have a diferent look altogather.

I will be able to give an example from the P.S's master piece
Enna tavam seidanai " it starts with GA (ANTARA) - MA NI PA GA -(SADAARA NA) What a crafty deployment of two different gandharam!!
Like wise " sanakAdiyar" NI (kAkali)-SA NI (kaisiki) PA GA RI - wherein two diff .Nishadams are so beautifully used to enhance the mood of the ragam. Beauti Beauty all the way and Kapi is on it's way to eternal exstasy !! !CM devotees are the most blessed ones indeed.
