Brinda Manickavasagam @ Parthasarathy Sabha

[sureshvv]

Brinda accompanied by S.V.Sudarshan and Nellai Sriram gave a brilliant concert in spite of a sub-standard audio system manned by negligent personnel on Christmas day. The concert was noteworthy for carefully avoiding the beaten track of compositions which has truly become vexing in the last week of December. Her scholarly exposition for being such a young artist made for a memorable concert.

Song list:

1. Aalilai mel kannan (varnam), Mohanam, Adi, Tiger
2. Vinayaga Vignanasaka, Vegavahini, rupakam, Dikshitar, swaras at ravi sashi sannibha netra
3. Shaalivaateeswaram bhajeham, Devagandhari, Adi, Dikshitar?
4. Pantuvaralai, Aparama bhakthi, rupakam, Thyagaraja, swaras @ tripatalanu
5. Sankarabharanam, Mahalakshmi, Misra Chapu, SIvan

Indeed it was too good

Poor Brinda had just 1 and half hours ( 12.30 pm to 2 ) slot . Besides, the audience were busy catching seats for lunch. Still she impressed a lot. Sudharshan gave an excellent accompaniment.

I did record . Will upload shortly.

BrindA is a musician , who has always impressed me. Excellent Diction even if it is karadu moradana thamizh or Sanskrit krithis. Her swara delivery and raga alapana is always nice. I have not heard this MD krithi in devagAndhari at all
