R Suryaprakash in Madipakkam, 09/01/2014

Post by sankark »

For Papanasam Sivan Karnataka Sangeetha Sabha

Now I am able to understand why rajeshnat pegs Suryaprakash as his fav #1. Fantastic fluidity, verve and panache.

Right now n@rokkamI for paridAnamichitE following bahudAri & mukhAri (saranam ayyappA)

sankark, you are so devoted to get around so much! Madipakkam tonight!

My wife had cold/cough/chest/throat stuff in December, now its my turn. Otherwise, I'd been watching for a Suryaprakash concert to make up for missing one a few days ago.

It is pure luck that I came to know of this concert this morning. Haven't been to any other of his so had to make the effort.

thOdi Alapanai right now. Just flows

venue satsangam hall, madippakkam

M Rajeev violin
Melakkaveri Balaji mridangam
Madippakkam Murali ghatam

brOva bhAramA - bahUdAri - Adi - T (raga sketch, s)
saranam ayyappA - mukhAri - Adi - PS (elongated raga sketch)
paridAnamichitE - bilahari - k cApu - PSI (rn@rokkamI)
indha pArAmukham Edhu - purvikalyAni - Adi - dEsigavinAyagam pillai (ns@nI oru silaiyO nI en muRai kEttilayO)
sri pArthasArathi nA pAlitO - suddha dhanyAsi - rUpakam - MD
kArthigEya gAngEya - thOdi - Adi - PS (rns@mAl marugA murugA shanmugA guhA, tani) - tani was energetic, got a bit long and a bit loud at the end. other than that percussion support was great
rtp (brindAvanamiduvO kaNNan kuzhalUdhiya) - dEsh? - t triputa - ragamAlika swarams in jOg, chandrakauns
then pazhani vElavanE (viruththam) - AnandA?
azhagAna mayilinil Adi vA - AnandA - Adi - Madurai Somu?
manathil uruthi vEndum in surati as viruttam mahAkavi bhArathiyAr followed by
sivaperumAn kripai vEndum - surati - Adi - PS (I was reminded of TMS number mangaLamAi vAzha vEndum malaradi thozha vEndum maRRenna vEndum)
pavamAna & vAzhiya senthamizh

all in all, about 3 hours of GRAND music that just flowed and flowed, superb rapport between all the performers. In thOdi Alapannai he did sruthibhEdam into either kalyAni itself (or) some janyam of kalyAni. He announced he is running short of time so he will sing a short pallavi. While the rAgam/tAnam lasted only about 5 - 10 mins all together, overall the RTP went for 25 mins, short indeed ;)

Personally, would have preferred thAmadhamEn instead of kArthikEya. Haven't heard it in a live concert except for GNB's & Namagiripettai in cassettes.
