The concert had a delayed start of 20 minutes certainly suiting my late arrival . The start was sparkling with nAdatanumanisham with some excellent swara patterns in cittaranjani. The next kannada was just average . A rare dharmavati unfolded where I had heard for the first time this vasudevachArya krithi . The neraval in dharmavathi was very good , I noticed he did a swara aksharam in the neraval line "niravadhi" and then suryaprakash performed quite a lot of swara poruttam and it was excellent.
His impressive sevikkavendumayyA was very good to excellent with very good swara pattern. A very detailed alApanai of chArukEsi was very good, the expected krithi "AdamOdi galadE" followed . Just I was expecting a definite neraval in caduvulanni delisi , but suryaprakAsh skipping that was a bit of let down. The mAyammA was verygood to excellent , I would have preferred a little more emotive syrup in Ahiri.
An Excellent RTP in AbhOgi , the rAga AlApanai and tAnam suited his voice very well. He sang almost non stop with very minimal violin return .The pallavi rendition was very good . THe Viruththam was emotive and excellent in sahAna , with a very short rendition in rAgeshri and hindOlam, The famous annamAcharya krithi "deva devam bhajE" popularized by MS was rendered quite well . The last JOnpuri was a rasikas request and was excellent.
Special Mention about Swara kalpana manOdharmam of SuryaprakAsh
Apart from swara patterns in cittaranjani , dharmavati and AndhOlikA (nothing too unique in this three) ,there was something very unique in the concert
1. There was 14 minutes of swara kalpana in chArukEsi ,the sarvalaghu patterns were completely different then what I have heard from mmi,tvs or himself in the past with recordings of the same cArukESi . The patterns were very detailed and there was absolutely no repitition
2. In RTP , there was nothing great in AbhOgi swaras . But the rAgamAliga swara pattern in hamsAnandi close to 4 full minutes was simply outstanding ,he went almost non stop there. Close to 3 minutes or so he completely avoided the shadjam, with R G M D and N there was lots of lovely and fast combinations. Then with his exceptional high shruthi he landed in shadjam from tAra Sthayi rishabam.THat just brought the ecstasy of this evergreen hamsAnandi and was aesthetically perfect. His sindhubhairavi swaras was close to 4 minutes and had brilliant swara patterns, not the usual sindhubhairavi which is an indication to say the pallavi is closing soon .Overall both hamsAnandi and sindhubhairavi was very apt and had onspot manOdharmam.
The Accompanist madurai balAsubramanian was below average and most of the time docile. His replays in AlApanais was just ok , his AbhOgi was not upto mark. He played quite good in swara replays. Both the percussionist gelled well and played nice sarvalaghu patterns , particularly B.Sivaraman had a good azhuttham in his play.Tani was just good.

I think it still starts as aada modi galadhe, but as you rightly note, after the first avarthanam, it becomes maatalaada modi galadhe.sbala wrote:Isn't the charukesi krithi matalaada modi galade? I think thats how Suryaprakash sang after the first avarthanam. Or is Ada modi galade itself meaningful?
