Request: song Chandiran oliyil avalai kanden in malayamaruth

lanupama · Post by **lanupama** » 20 Apr 2008, 23:36

Hi,

I heard Sanjay Subrahmanyan sing this Bharathiyar song - Chandiran oliyil avalai kanden in malayamarutham in dec 2007 and have been trying to get it since then. None of his commercially available audio CDs have this song. Does someone know where I can listen/buy it?

Thanks

TNS may have sung it in candrakauns - not sure if it was in a concert way back when, or if it was in a commercial recording. It is another one of the mahAkavI's intoxicating compositions

Gayathri Girish has sung this song in chandrakauns in her album karnaranjani.

The TNS School sings it in Chandrakauns. Yes, I too remember Sanjay singing it in Malayamarutham at Indian Fine Arts (if my memory is right) with MA Sundaresan on violin. It was very good with an Alapanai and Swarams.

rs, I fully subscribe to your view. But the way 'mangiyadOr nilavinilE' has become a love song, this too is being reduced to a romantic song with the message ripped apart.

And just to add, I think I have heard Unnikrishnan render it in Keeravani as well.

VGV,

Isn't there something about controlling the senses (indiriyangaLai venru viTTAi) and subduing ego (enadenra ASaiyai koidu viTTAi) and leading a life of devotion (bhakti Seidu pizhaikka connAi) in the composition 'candiran oLiyil avaLai kaNDEn'? If that is used for a 'romantic' overture, it MUST be deivika kAdal, right?

:D

rs,
That was the poet's understanding. But when the context is twisted (like in the case of 'mangiyadOr nilavinilE) or when the song is sung in a bhAva unmindful of backdrop and message, then we only see the skeleton.

Yes, the entire concert was superlative - I was hoping it would be recorded and have been hunting for it among the concert CDs by Charsur, no luck so far.

As far as I know, Charsur hasn't released this concert. Concerts at IFAS are not released that often (I may be wrong here). To me, the concert was very good, as I had a chance to listen to Kaddanu Variki after a long long time for main! And post main, the Sindubhairavi Alapanai was very good as well. Infact, was expecting a Pallavi after the considerably detailed Ragam. But the organiser's speech before that, as always, took up time and maybe that didn't leave enough time for a Pallavi and he sang Nijagadasa.
