Thanks Ravi. We have seen glimpses of her talent along with her dad in his Jaya tv programs. It is good to see her progressing to the concert stage.

The reviewer states, in an otherwise very positive review: "A suggestion here. It is always a better proposition for new entrants to bank on the well known and time tested compositions of the Trinity than take up little known numbers, rarely heard ragas of less popular composers."

Interesting advice and I am in two minds about whether it is a sound one or not. It will definitely be a conservative approach to follow that suggestion and risk free but then these days going out of the box/comfort zone is considered a positive trait.

Anusha and I attended her concert in Bangalore. I heard her in Chennai too.
Anusha, is it possible for you to find our impressions on her Bangalore concert and post them here, please?

Very nice singing Sri Ranjani. You have a great voice. Your renderings portray the right bhava for those two pieces. All the best.

Sriranjani,
Welcome to the forum and thank you for posting your music at last! Enjoyed the jAvali I missed that evening.
Your mAl marugan and pantuvarALi (sadA enna) which we heard during the season at the Carnatica concerts in Swamy Hall were impressive too. Sorry, we had to leave soon after them. WOuld like to listen to an entire concert of yours the coming season...
VK,
You are right about her voice and the bhAvA that goes with the words--add to it rAga bhAvA too.

Among all of 'the Hindu' reviewers, particularly like G.SwaminAthan the most. This is a very good review of vid sriranjani, liked her song selections

Wow, she certainly sings some offbeat ragas and krithis for an up and comer. When I pore over the Hindu supplement in Chennai during the season, it always seems to me that most of the juniors sing one of the Big 6 as main...

Neat rendering of khamas javali !! Keep it up. your singing of saveri varna "sarauda" When you were 4years old is still ringing in my ears. God bless you.All the best.

vk - Even though she is so young, I am sure Sriranjani has 'performed' several times infront of one of the toughest judges and vidwans: her own father! That should have provided solid training for her.
Watch this, e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTzrCl-eGvw

There was a mention in the hindu few days back that sriranjani is singing a 4 hr sarvani sangeeta sabha concert . I could not make it . Can some one post the review or atleast the songlist of the 4 hr concert.

Very Nice Q&A by sriranjani . The last question was well answered, hope she walks the talk , we have to see that in the next decade or two.
