Prasanna Venkataraman - Ambika Prasad - Mannargudi Subramanian

Nadopasana, PS High School
7th Febrauary 2007. 5 pm.

abhimAnam ennaDu - bEgaDa - Adi - PSI (S)
ini oru kaNam unai - srIranjani - rUpakam (RS)
bAlakrishNam bhAvayAmi - gOpikA vasantam - Adi - MD
mOhanakara muthukumarA - nItimati - rUpakam - KI
rAma bANa - sAvEri - Adi - T (RNS)
tani Avarththanam
jAnakI ramaNA - kApi - Adi - Jeeyar
tillAnA - kAnaDA - rUpakam

The concert started off with a nice rendition of the bEgaDa kriti with a quick set of svarams. The srIranjani AlApanai was done well. The kriti was rendered beautifully with a nice round of svarams.

The rare dIkshitar kriti was rendered soulfully to be followed by the nItimati piece. The main sAvEri AlApanai was done in a very elaborate fashion showing the rAgam very well. The kriti was rendered well, in a rather hurried fashion, probably for want of time, with an ultra short neraval at 'bAma kAsa vadu...' and a quick set of svarams and a short tani.

Sri Prasanna sang the post tani pieces as he was asked to sing them by the organisers. His music is far more matured and elegant. He is one musician who is going to make a name for himself in a big way in this field and that too in the near future.

Sri Ambika Prasad and Sri Subramanian were good in their jobs.

rbharath,

Thanks for the report. I believe the right way to split lyrics for song #1 is "Abhimanam Ennadu" and song #2 is "Ini Oru Kanam". The latter is a great Sanjay favourite.

Hi,

I have not attended this concert. I also like his kutcheries. I feel he is a highly skilled artist and soon become a popular guy with sabhas in chennai like Sikkil gurucharan. In case , if PV is reading this , please make visits to bangalore too.

And to Singapore, and please sing Rama Bana here as well. I haven't heard a saveri here since 1996 apart from one attempt at Muruga muruga by Aruna Sairam in 2001.
