An out of the world concert that will be remembered by all who heard it.Those who missed this concert missed a very aesthetic, memorable concert show casing amazing vidwath and sadagam.
Every kriti stood but the Saveri ragam and swaram has to be mentioned for it’s sheer brilliance..In the Bhairavi piece three octaves of Madyamam cascaded with brilliance.The Ganavarithi piece was very appropriate to the occasion as it was one of Saint Thyagaraja’s last compositions appropriately set in Ganavarithi, meaning sea of Gana.
Sri.VittalRamamurthy sketches of ragas and his support to the vocalist was remarkable.The concert also witnessed the utmost sensitive percussion support by Mannakoil Sri. J.Balaji who seemed to anticipate the vocalist’s every move.
The concert marked amazing planning since it followed a book release function.The book released was The Rare Kritis of the Trinity , a hand notated book by Acharya Choodamani.Sri.A.Sundaresan .This book contains 46 rare compositions of which two are of Subbaraya Sastri and one Annaswami Sastri.
News about the book release function is available in another page titled “Acharya Choodamani A Sundaresan’s Anniversary functionâ€
