Subject: Vijay Shiva - 'A Scintillating Performance'
It was a scintilating performance by Sri. Vijay Shiva, who has established his own distinct style in the field of carnatic classical music.The clarity with which he renders every single kriti enables all to not only enjoy the meaning of the words, but one can actually take down notations. Sri.Vijay's strict adherence to classicism,aesthetics in conception and execution,complete with both bhakti and bhava,make his performance enjoyable and eagerly awaitied .Today he started of with 'Kapalishwaram Bhajeham' in Mohanan and took up all beautiful and appealing ragas like Ananda Bhairavi,Hari Kamboji, Saveri being the main. The neraval in saveri "Narayana Taaraka Divyanaama' was excellent.It was a truely meditative experience, dwelling on the Narayana nama.There was then the RTP in Kayani ,where the taanam was excellent.
Sri.R.K.Sriramkumar on the violin, brings a rich cultural heritage along with him,coming from a family of musicians,he accompanied with grace and melody.Sri.Manoj Shiva on the mridangam played with a lot of undersanding and anticipation and Sri.ASN Swamy on the Khanjira gave excellent percussion support.
