======================================================
Ramakrishnan Murthy’s musical birthday celebration of Lord Krishna at Vani Mahal It was an awesome concert.
அற்புதமான கச்சேரி - நாளுக்கு நாள் அவர் குரல் வளம் மெருகேறிக்கொண்டே போகிறது
He started off with vENu gAna lOluniga kEdaara gowLa on a brisk note followed by a Thiruvembavai in Huseni. The next one from Sri Narayana Theerthar in Devagandhari was a musical tribute.
But he literally steal the show (main krithi ) in shankaraabharaNam with wonderful alapana and swaras – simply brought back nostaligia of N C Vasanthakokilam (an authority in shankaraabharaNam) – undoubtedly the best number of the evening.
The last one in Kurinji made rasikas swing and float with his blissful rendering.
While Dr. R Hemalatha gave excellent support in violin . Veteran Arun Prakash – mridangam was subtle and pleasant to ears.
The “thani” by Arun Prakash and Chandrasekara Sharma short and sweet.
