Seasonal Sentiments 2021
Ramaprasad at BVB. Walked in a bit late & neraval already on at Sivachidambaram enru sonnal. Nice abhogi followed by Chakravakam alapana now.
Varahi Vaishnavi is the kriti rendered. Likes the sound volume really high. Not sure that is a good idea.
Devaki nanda mukunda in hamsanadam.
Begada alapana ending in tara sthayee for main followed by Lokavana chathura
BSP after being somewhat low key comes to the fore for nice effect.
Neraval & swaras at pallavi.
1.5 hour program ends with thani.

Lakshmipriya, daughter of Dr.Hemalatha is surely on the ascend. A voice that has got strength and flexibility, repertoire and vidwat, she is presenting enjoyable concerts. IN Arkay, yesterday, she sang a very good Suruti. Thillai ambalathania. The main song was Etavunera. I should hear her complete concert once.

Re: Seasonal Sentiments 2021
Referring my notes , i have heard the song ambA manam kanindu in pantuvarali . Once Prema Rangarajan sang and few times suryaprakash has also sang . The former takes the neraval in the line painthamizh paamalai , the latter takes it in intha varam tharuvaay. This song in pantuvarali is comparable with saarasaaksha , pantuvarali is most expressive .
Papanasam sivan has composed great thamizh songs - This one and also manamE eesan naamathai in kuntalavaraali , if the songs are picturized by MKT ,that does not mean musicians like Raga should not take it . The song has a proper pallavi - anupallavi - charanam structure , more power to them . I think BVB usually musicians sing more thamizh songs , would have been nice that too with gayatri in raga who has phenomenal throw in her voice.

Re: Seasonal Sentiments 2021
Once Dr BMK sang in a carnatic live concert , the song that comes prior to Paatum naane - Oru naal poduma both of that is pure film songs . i dont think both paatum naane and Oru naal podumA has a pallavi- anupallavi - charanam structure. Comparing Paatum naane and ambA manam kanindu is not a correct comparison at all, as the former is not a krithi at all, where as the later is a krithi.
I also googled to find sikkil gurucharan has sung this ambaa manam kanindu in jayatv once. There is also Sudha ragunathan version of amba manam kanindu, i dont know if MLV has sung this song, may be she might have. All said i just googled to find the MKT movie sivakavi that had this amba manam kanindu is a 1943 movie , so it is 78th anniversary celebrations.
Papanasam sivan is a fanta fabulous vaggeyakkara, he brought in so many krithis into thamizh , possibly after mostly hearing and inspired by Sadhguru.

Concert is part of KSK Centenary celebration & above kriti was his. Fitting tribute.
Saama ragam followed by Etulaina bhakthi
Triloka mata nannu brovu in pharas
Brilliant Bhairavi alapana with so many varying textures in voice followed by stellar follow up from L. ramkrishnan. Wondering ihow much a performing artist / dancer can do with this.

Re: Seasonal Sentiments 2021
It was a wonderful concert. Never heard such an elaborate alapana of Sama ragam. Etulaina bhakthi also I am hearing for the firt time. An unhurried style of preentation with clarity in the sahithyam, necessary manodharmam elements all made her concert one of its kind.
Maha Tripura Sundari the main kriti in BHairavi is a composition of Pallavi Gopala Iyer. I have heard this song only from BV Raman and Lakshmanan

The next concert of Gaythri Girish was also very good. Two kritis presented in full detail- Thyagarajaya Namaste and Pakalanilabadi. Ododi Vanden Kanna was the filler. There was an RTP in Sarasangi.

NGS mini has seen some major renovation including the sound system. The quivering speakers mounted on the wall are gone & brand a new Bose speaker mounted high up has taken it's place. The new sound system appears partial to the percussion department though.

Sukhi evvaro- Ragam
Kalavathi kamalasana yuvathi- Yagapriya, elaborate neraval, swaram
Oorage galguna- Sahana
Adenamma
Emmayya rama- Main kriti- with fantastic alapana, neraval and swarams
Thani
Then left.

Re: Seasonal Sentiments 2021
Ramaji. You are right. It is a punishment for me for slightly disrespecting gr8 artist. (Though I was bit unhappy with the list of songs, not the artists) (Rupavati must be happy !!!!). I had to attend dance programme of my relative and I joined MFAC at 8..15 when they were wrapping up kambOji ragam, it was 8.20 PM. I was surprised to see the late kamboji. After that Baskar took 6 minutes in fiddle. I was sure they will take Emayya which was also liked by Mannargudi Eswaran. I still remember with ME, he sang the same kruti in PS High school 4- 5 years back S Janaki was present that day. Emayya is Nedanoori gAru's special.
After that, they rendered
Aadum chidambaramO - Behag- GKB
a pada varnam of Brida mukta in Punnaagavarali. (request of ME)
Javali in surutti
Marali....mangalam
ME was bit unhappy to give the Tani at 8.45 PM, where half the people left. Again MBs lacking time management. When senior artists perform, give respect to them and give them credit. The same thing Palakkad ramprasad did. Gave K V Prasad tani at 8.35, same venue. couple of days back.
This is where Ramakrishnan murthy, agains stood out. He gave tani at 8.15 to Karaikkudi Mani.
The concert ended at 9.25 PM. surprising they had sung for almost 3 hours (assuming they started at 6.30)

Malladis decided not to sing post kAmbOdhi main( any RTP )and they had quite a few tail of thukkadas. They must have planned as a gameplan to sing a very detailed kambOdhi emayya rama . With 40 or 45 mins to spare , Easwaran had his tani where he started at 08 45 pm . I am assuming tani was 15 to 20 mins, then thukkadas may have gone for 20 mins . if they had given tani 30 mins back at say 08 15 pm , the near same exodus would have also happened . If that was the case , malladis need to have cut 2 songs before KAmbOdhi or having very reduced kambOdhi main. Lot of concerts when tani is given much before it means to atleast me there is not much stuff or elaboration in the head of the artist with the main number.
On Karaikudi mani he plays 2 concerts per year this year one for his sishya KBMK and i saw RKM . In the past he has occasionally chosen once or twice TMK , Gurucharan , saketaraman and thats it . He is so rare in concert pandal and possibly because of that he usually gets bit early tani. RKM gets more mileage as lot of rasikas indeed come to hear KM sir tani too because of his rarity and his history. Both Mannargudi easwaran and KV Prasad along with Karaikudi Mani are great artists and let us not choose the same brush.
All said giving tani 30 mins before concert end in a 2 and half hour to 3 hour concert is ok for tani. This seniority can be respected in other ways.People leaving at 08 45 pm is rasikas problem not malladis problem .

Re: Seasonal Sentiments 2021
Concerts without big 6 raga alapana etc. there are quite a few concerts of DKJ and Nedunuri garu which i have heard in the 80s / early 90s where they have sung the entire concert without a raga alapana and / or a major raga. And those concerts have stood tall. Fabulous concerts indeed. In one of the concerts of Nedunuri garu, he started the concert with a patnam kriti and the second a patnam kriti again and then he said he feels like singing more of patnam kritis and there were a flurry of patnam kritis. not a single thyagaraja / MD / SS kriti in the entire concert. Oh what a beautiful concert that was. The Bilahari main still is fresh in my memory ! I guess it all depends on the mood of the musician on that day. And the repertoire of Malladis are so vast, thanks to their various great Gurus, all from the same school !grsastrigal wrote: ↑28 Dec 2021, 11:48 Ramaji. You are right.
