S. Srivatsan- You tube concert

[CRama]

I bumped into this utube video today- A very impressive concert by young vidwan S.Srivatsan.His volley of half avartana swaras in Mayamalavagowla for Mayateethaswaroopini reminded me of SSI-ARI. His confidence for taking up Yadukalakambodi- that too a rare Thyagaraja kriti - Needayache- with elaborate alapana, neraval and swaras deserve special applause. There is a rare balahamsa kriti of Thyagaraja too. Rest I am yet to hear. Here is the link for the concert.

This vidwan got the Sangeetha Mudhra award yesterday in the Inauguration of Mudhra festival. He is singing in Mudhra on 11 Dec. Come, enjoy and encourage this vidwan.

CRama Sir,
I appreciate your effort. I listened to this young Vidwan of great promise. He belongs to the line of Vidwans with value of classicism like Vid.Ramakrishna Murthy. They challenge the misgiving of rasikas about the present and future state of classical music.

Thanks Munirao sir.

I am yet to hear this youtube concert. Yesterday in sastri hall i heard srivatsan's last 2 nos . He sang very well the iyal isai -thirruppugazh in huseni which was well done followed by saramaina in behag. 3 to 4 years back in tambaram i heard srivatsan along with G Abilash accompanying their gurus AS Murail. For sure there is a great 4th gen semmangudi that is slowly challenging the 3rd gen semmangudi sishyas which form the bulk of the performing vidwans/vidushis as of this year. Srivatsan voice texture slightly resembles the young TM Krishna, best wishes to s srivatsan.
