A very memorable concert for Trichy carnatic music lovers which was held on behalf of thyagaraja Aradhana @ Goradha mUlai,vadakku chittirai veedhi,Srirangam.
The concert started by 7.00 pm with crisp telisi rama with interesting kalpana swarams in its beautiful kalpana swaram. From the beginning his voice was very good.Then he sang apparama bhakthi and many expected there would be some swarams but he switched over to ritigoula alapana which was good and short followed by nannu vidachi in very leisurely way.Next was the yadukula kambhodi alapana which was very very excellent with many new sangathis and the song adi gAdhu.The swaram for this song was at the pallavi line with many rounds of sarvalaghu swarams.
Next was the grand bhairavi in which various possibilities of the raga was shown and it took over 10 min of alapana and nearly 6-7 min of violin return which was also good and the song upacharamu followed by niraval and swaram at vAgidane padhilamugA. Next was the filler krupaju chutaku.
The next piece which was the main of the concert was nannu palimpa. The essay of mohanam by sanjay was excellent which took nearly 15 min and sriram kumar's raga delination was nearly 8-9 min. There were surprising neraval and swaras at "karamuna shara kOdanda" which mostly in madurai mani iyer pattern like repeating the swaras at Da Da Da, PaPaPa, etc., and then the tani by arun prakash which was good. But the morsing was just ok.
Then came the thukkadas session which was mostly of rasikas request.
marukelara was good and then the viruttam followed by innamum oru thalam in behag which was good. Then the viruttam in bAgeshri was excellent and the song nanda thanaya followed.
Next was mukthi alikkum thiru was in senchurutti and then 'thirisila giriyAr' which also resembled similar to senchurutti.It was sang in praise and about Trichy. And finally was the jayadeva ashtapathi nija gAdasA in sindhu bhairavi and concluded with the raga shade of surutti. The concert was over by 9.55pm.
A very excellent concert from sanjay once again and the accompanients were also good. Sriramkumar accompanying sanjay at all places and at the same way showed his ability when he was given the chance. Arun prakash was also very sopportive and his beats were also good to make a concert very enjoyable. The morsing was just ok.
I have also the recording of whole concert which i ll post as soon as possible.:)

Actually, Sanjay and RKSK used to perform together a lot in the 90s. In fact RKSK accompanied many of Sanjay's early studio recordings. Then for some reason in recent years they haven't shared the stage. I'm glad to see that combo again.

Great song list. Must've been a memorable concert.

I was going to say the same thing about SS and RKS...certainly a happy development!

A Sanjay Thyagaraja theme concert should have been great! How odd, though, that there was no RTP in Darbari ;-)

This krithi is upachAramu cEsE , not upachAramUlanu , just differentiating the two. This upachAramu cEsE is usually forgotten, looks like sanjay at trichy and sowmya few days before in vanimahal , chennai are bringing it back.

Nice to read a review from trichy/srirangam belt, keep it coming for other artists too.

Posting # 10, although made in a genuine fashion is against the rules of this forum:
1. No commercial recordings
2. No current artists'' recordings (since they are very likely copyrighted)
3. Recordings are only for illustrative/educative purposes
4. As far as possible, where short educative samples will suffice, members should stick to them.
5. Any copyright violations should be informed first to the uploader who will take necessary steps to delete the links.
6. Where the uploader does not delete such links within reasonable time, moderators/admin will take necessary action
7. Any contraventions of law regarding uploads - consequences will be borne by the concerned uploader only.
8. Do not offer or solicit in the forum, sharing of commerical recordings through email.

In addition, a while ago we had agreed that we would not post full concerts on this forum. There are sites like sangeethapriya for that purpose.

Would request a moderator or admin to clarify and rectify.....

Yes, such full concert recordings are not allowed as per the forum rules. The post by sathya_vrathan with those links taken out.

Sanjay did the same thing in his last concert at Bangalore. Instead of swaras as usual at some line of the song, he did swarakalpana at the Chitteswaram. i.e, he would sing the swaras and take up rgmp pmR, and not Telisi raama.

I am very curious to know who sathya_vrathan from Trichy is. He bears a name very similar to mine and I am currently studying in Trichy too.
Incidentally, I am a disciple of Shri OS Thiagarajan!

Yes...that was indeed me on the tambura for my guru, though how you figured it really beats me! (Do you know me?)

@sathyavrathan

Thanks for replying. I'm quite relieved now...I was under the impression that someone was playing a prank by using my name for login!! Good to know that you are studying in Trichy too. Hopefully, one day we'll meet up.

no there is no god's name as sathya vratha in trichy. but its the name of many deities. this name u ll come across in lalitha sahasranamam for ambal, and in narayaneeyam for vishnu and this is the name of the king who survived as fish matsya avataram. and another information is bheeshmar name is deva vrathan and many mistake as sathya vrathan.

No, Vocalist. It was not a clever guess. A relative of mine knows Satya_vratan alias bhakta personally and I have heard very good opinions about his singing abilities. IIRC, Bhakta was also on the Tambura for Sri OST during his tiruchy concert about a year or so ago.

Bhakta,

Your e-mail id is not available, could you drop me a line at [email protected]

I would like to add the following to what sathya_vrathan has already written about the etymology of our name:

Sriman Nigamanta mahA desikan in his Raghuveera Gatyam has addressed Lord Rama as Satyavrata. The slokam goes like this:

"jaya jaya maHaViRa
ananya SasaNiYa
asaHaya SuRa
anaPaya SahaSa
satyavraTa
sarva jana samManiTa
sarva karma sMaRadYa
swamin sri RagavasimHa
namaste punaste namaha."

As for my surname, I belong to the samaveda and hence a samavedi.

Just heard the other concert of Sanjay at Hamsadhwani. Outsyanding renditions of Thodi, Sama, Surutti besides the Patdeep RTP. Sanjay seems to be going leaps and bounds (no idol worship here !) as shown by some of the concerts in Dec 2007 and the ones this year.

Would be good if Sathya Vrathan or someone can upload this concert in Sangeethapriya / elsewhere while adhering to the rules of this forum. Seems to be another good concert from the songlist.

Also quite generous on Sanjay's part to let rasikas like me hear his concerts by his consent or (is it) no objection for uploads online.I on behalf of the rasikas (hope others will not mind) compliment him and also thank him for this besides wishing him many more years of great music. Looking forward to further great concerts!
