Post by radhasuryanarayanan »

Can I begin by saying that this was an Ecstasy journey.

In this concert Dr Narmadha presented an assorted variety of songs in rainbow colours.
The Ghana and Naya highlighted her lineage and her experience of having performed with her father Sri MSG.
The violin tone made me think that this was my favorite MSG playing.
Dr.M.Narmadha began with Saranga varnam in two speeds.the gamakams were laden with the beautiful shades of Saranga.
All her fast paced sangathis had such remarkable clarity.
There was a journey from kanyakumari to Kashmir , to Chandigarh.
Her selection of songs were so interesting and Reetigowla I felt was a crown in the crt.
The lilting svara patterns in Mandari and Nannupalimpa were noteworthy.
The mohanam was a typical tribute to the Parur MSG Bani.
At every moment she took the audience with her who were present in large numbers. People were standing too from behind.
Her mishra yaman bhajan saw me travelling in the silence of Mt.Alps.it was so serene.
Yes.many people remarked that her violin had the capacity to keep the audience glued to their seats.
In fact in the post tani when she announced that she will present Behag after the dhanasree tillana everybody was for an aural treat.
The concert was Ecstasy from beginning till end.
Artist like Dr.Narmadha deserve all accolades and more recognition especially for her meritorious phenomenal violin solo concerts.
Poongulam had an excellent understanding and his tani avartanam for 7 mts was scintillating and Ramacandran's responses were commendable.

EXCELLENT REVIEW! ITS LIKE I WAS THERE IN THE HALL SHARING THE EXCITEMENT WITH THE AUDIENCE. I AM HAPPY HER UNBELEIVABLE & IMMENSE TALENT & KNOWLEDGE IS FINALLY GETTING ITS DUE. ANOTHER MAJOR STAR ON THE RISE ESPECIALLY AS A SOLO ARTIST. TO ME IT JUST SHOWS THAT SHE IS IN THE SAME CLASS AS THE GREAT SOLOISTS OF THE PAST. WITH SOME ENCOURAGEMENT BOTH N& S INDIAN MUSIC HAS FOUND AN ABLE PROPONENT. VKV
