Smt Gayathri Girish @ Karthik Fine Arts

[Sathej]

Smt Gayathri Girish - Vocal
Shri MA Krishnaswamy - Violin
Shri Patri Satish Kumar - Mridangam
Shri Anirudh Athreya - Kanjira

Date : December 13, 2012
Venue : Bharathiya Vidya Bhavan

1) Shlokam followed by Vara Vallabha - Hamsadhwani - S
2) Dinamani Vamsha - Harikambhoji
3) Parvata Rajakumari - Shriranjani - AS
4) Ennalu Oorake - Shubhapanthuvarali - ANS
5) Narasimha Mamava - Arabhi
6) Manadirkkisaindha - Sankarabharanam - AST
7) Virutham followed by Chandiran Oliyil - Chandrakauns
8 ) Thillana - Hamsanandi

The Hamsadhwani - Harikambhoji - Shriranjani start was nicely offset by the melancholy of Shubhapanthuvarali. A Ragam that seldom fails to be moving personally. Some nice rounds of Swarams at Sati Matala. The main Shankarabharanam was leisurely constructed and the response on the violin had several caressing phrases in the middle Sa-Pa region.. Haven't heard the Tamil piece by HMB earlier..The Tani led by the Mridangam was wonderful with some very alert responses by the Kanjira artiste.

The Chandrakauns and Hamsanandi provided a good finish to a concert, where personally the Shubhapanthuvarali was the pick..

Happened to also read a review of the concert at http://www.sabhash.com/music/events/345 ... -arts.html and double-checked my memory with the list there!
