Sri. RK Padmanabha concluded the three day Karnataka Vaibhava with a cracker of a concert on 18th August 2013. There were several songs by Karnataka composers. The most important items were a longish alapana of poorvikalyani followed by his own composition - NADASURABHI, KANNADA NADU - in Tamil. He confessed that he doesn't know Tamil. But it was still passable. Swarams too followed.

The main was an RTP in Bhairavi with a crisp alapanai, his trademark kind of thaanam with sounds of birds, bells, frogs, etc incorporated. The pallavi was set to a 28 beat cycle and no one including the percussionists had any idea about it. It was clarified that it was in Sangeetha shasttra and is ekadasa ( one + ten) jampa taalam in 2 kalai.

RKP's booming voice and perfection in presentation cannot be complained about by anyone. The overdose of his innovations may make the overall concert experience less interesting.

CNC on violin was good as usual. Chealuvaraj and Swamy managed well.
