Sivapriya Krishnan-TTD -T.Nager-Aug2-

[satyabalu]

*When I entered she was taking up Sankarabaranam -Main Endukku Beddala -The way she sang neraval &swaram to end with "sa ma Veda sastra " was very unique.
*Accompanied by B.Anandakrishnan `on violin giving a new dimension to the scope of the raga,
*After thani by Arjun Ganesh ably handled she took up
*sahaja vaishnavachara Vardanula-Samantha -Janya Of 29? Annamacharya.
*Aniraimeikka-Periyazhwar.in ragas kamboji,Bhairavi,Kundalavarali.
* Andrivvulagam Azhandai porti-Sindu Bhairavi.
*Karuna rasakshaya-Ghanta- Utsava Sampradaya of Thiagaraja.
*Given the strong technical capabilities ,wide repertoire and chaste padandara the artist is endowed with and the ambience of TTD chennai she could make the concert bhakthi &bhava laden content with the limited audience on a rainy day.I felt her voice was milder compared to the volume of the accompaniments.That was my observation.
*The other privileges of this venue are the exhaustive introduction of artists by the organiser Mr.Srinivasan covering everything including the artists' educational background,gurus and the like ,CCTV coverage and an exclusive Dharshan (close to the touching distance of Lord) (I also accompanied for the dharshan claiming familiarity with the artists& of my own with the place having performed in the venue sometime back.)
I am listening to Sivapriya in quick succession for the second time ,just then she has given a scintillating performance @Nadopasana in front of an elite audience like Pro. TRS wherein she gave an extensive treatment of Kalyani -MD kriti on vaithiswaran Koil-Balambika-Bhajare sita besides rendering rare nos. on Krishna-It poured heavily on both the days!

Smt. Sivapriya's shankarAbaraNam was indeed very good. it was handled very majestically and elegantly.

Her rather un-orthodox voice, i felt it had an extra husk on it, was very different on the ear and I enjoyed the concert.

By any chance is she the same person who writes in our forum with her id sivapriya?
