Sathej · Post by **Sathej** » 05 Nov 2008, 19:40

Shri Neyveli Santhanagopalan - Vocal
Shri MA Sundaresan - Violin
Shri Umayalpuram Sivaraman - Mrudangam
Shri Purushothaman - Kanjira

Date : November 5, 2008
Venue : Narada Gana Sabha, Main Hall

Song List (Partial):

1) Begada Adi Tala Varnam - OS
2) Meru Samana - Mayamalava Gowlai - ONS
3) Niravathi Sukhada - Ravichandrika - S
4) Mundu Venuka - Durbar O
5) Manavyala - Nalinakanthi - AS
6) Pakkala Nilapati - Kharaharapriya - ANST

The Nalinakanthi was very elaborate and could have been called the main for the day but there was no Tani. I left during Kharaharapriya..probably was the main.

yes, Kharaharapriya was the main, but not that elaborate though. Nalinakanthi was superb, and Mayamalavagowlai was mindblowing. ..
The audience around me were noisy though..There was this particular man, who kept on talking across the rows, and continuously criticizing the artists , posing a great source of irritation...

Sivaraman sir was also too good.

in kutcheris, not only talking across the rows, but singing along with the artist, putting wrong taalams,when the tani is in full swing are other despicable irritations. GOBILALITHA

The deal with taalam -- why do people normally put taalam during tani and all?

A couple of corrections to my list above..After Ravichandrika, there was Mundu Venuka - Durbar - O and I don't think there was a Neraval for Nalinakanthi. Have edited the post above.

Srikanth - keeping taalam is an integral part of the listening experience for many rasikas, including myself. Following the rhythm can be as addictive as following the melody. But I do agree that it should be done as unobtrusively as possible although I have to say that, unless you keep up a vigorous beat, (adhicchu podu), you need a very high level of laya sense to follow the rhythm accurately...

After the concert it was announced that Shri Neyveli Santhanagopalan was to be conferred with the title Sangeetha Kala Sarathy this year by Sri Partha Swamy Sabha this December.

Can't agree more with Vijay about the Talam. Yes, it requires really a great deal to be able to follow the intricacies of Kankakku in the Tani as well as occasionally in the Swarams (with people like TNS) if one doesn't 'put' Talam vigorously. Atleast its very difficult for people like me.

Did Nedunuri Garu perform with the Malladi Brothers on Nov 4th? Someone please post the item list/review.

Thanks.

I understand Nedunuri Garu could not make it and the Malladis sang in his place.
