Sri n. ravikiran chitraveena at the music academy

[HR]

Dec 21 - Saturday - 7 pm . A very accomplished set of senior artists on the stage for today's concert

Excellent purvikalyani alapana by Sri. N. Ravikiran. Ananda natamaaduvar thillai - rupakam - neelakanta Sivan . Neraval and swarams in the charanam .

This was preceded by -
Nada thanumanisam - chittaranjani - brisk set of swarams at 'vimala hrudaya'

The artiste started off with his composition -
Saveri varnam - khanda Triputa

After a short , pristine ahiri alapana , he is currently playing mayamma - adi - syama sastri .

precise notes , pure and full of
Bhavam - lovely to listen to !

Yes, it is indeed great. I wonder why one needs a violin as accompaniment. Manjunath is hardly able to keep pace.

A brilliant and chaste shankarabharam, a pity we did not know the song
