Vishnudev Namboothri

Post by ram1999 »

A very very fine artist. I beleive he was the winner of one of the Music Talent Shows "Super Singers??"

An artist to watch for.

I havnt seen any reviews of his in this forum yet!! I wouldnt be surprised ;(

There are quite a few fabulous recordings in the youtube.

Here is one of the finest kritis of Dikshitar in Brindavan Saranga which has been rendered spectacularly well.

There used to be a recording of his TTD concert broadcast by the SVBC channel on Youtube. The neraval for Ikanainana he sang in that concert was exemplary. I am (not) surprised that he is still not in the forefront along with the leading youngsters!

A fine literary example of 'Atule oru kAl, sEttule oru kAl', eh? ;)

Have heard good things about VN. Heard the YT clip linked here. Sings with energy and melody. Should consider a hairstyle make-over.

Gave a fantastic performance for the PSN parampara series at the Arcay Convention Center. Nice voice, Nice manodharmam and Authentic diction (Heard him start a concert with the 1st couple of slokas from the Lalitha Sahasranamam for a Navarathri concert and I was hooked.)

Yes, he is very good. Bhaava laden music. I heard his rakeshri thillanna in youtube and liked it a lot.
Whether deserving artistes are mentioned anywhere else or not but in this forum always good talent is introduced, recognised, recommended for listening and appreciated.
E.g. Amrutha Venkatesh, Amrutha Murali, Sahana Samraj, Kruthi Bhatt and also now Vishnudev. I got introduced to all these singers and perhaps few others here only. That is something really good about this forum.

Maybe there can be a separate section where rasikas can recommend good music/artistes to other rasikas when they spot it.

For obvious reasons :)

The first review of his performances that I read was of his concert in Mumbai, which was later made available for public listening. The Abheri RTP that he sang in that concert just blew me away.

Where is the varnam which he sang in 5 speeds? It was such a phenomenal start for the evening and the proceedings remained robust for the next 2.5 hours including a fantastic RTP.

"Should consider a hairstyle make-over" - may look better with Safron dress instead of hairstyle makeover IMO!!

Lovely interview from Pramod with this brilliant Vishnudev. Vishnudev is to me in my last 12 months a top musician where his expressions and bhava resonates so much with me . Kind of KVN, SSI and a bit of TNS TVS is also there. Sings without inhibition.

Best wishes for Vishnudev.
