Nandita Ravi - Ambika Prasad - Tanjore Balakrishnan

Brahma Gana Sabha. 28th December 2006. 1:15 pm

Era nApai - tODi - Adi
ananta padmanAbham - Arabhi - HMB (RS)
sambhO mahAdEva - pantuvarALi
mundu vEnukA - darbAr - Adi - T (R)
sarOja daLa nEtri - sankarAbaraNam - Adi - SS (RNS)
nArI maNi - khamAs jAvaLi

Reached the concert late. The darbAr AlApanai was good and the kriti was rendered well. The main sankarAbaraNam AlApanai was good and rendered with a lot of bhavam. The kriti was rendered with nice neraval and svarams at 'sAma gAna vinOdini guNa dama shyAma krishNanutE'

Smt Nandita has a good voice and has inherited her mother's music. Sri Ambika Prasad on violin was a bit scratchy at parts. Sri Balakrishnan was good.

I walked in just as she was doing the koraippu for shankarabharanam. Nandita sings with a lot of bhavam. The only piece I heard in full, the javali, was very good. The gamakams were subtle and brought out beautifully. Hope to hear more of her in the future!

Smt.Nanditha's rendition of Krithis were good. But Ragams and Swarams need more maturity.
