    brutally handled

    yesterday i attended the concert of ms devi at the chembai trust, sreevaraham.
    she handled all songs mercilessly. hameerkalyani was brutally handled. she rendered "gaangeya vasanadhara padmanabha" ..she yelled padmanabha....
    music sans bhava..
    horrible. there were hardly 25 people. i could not tolerate and hence left the venue.

    t m krishna

    T m krishna gave an atrocious concert on the concluding day of the chembai sangeetholsavam 2007.
    People gathered to hear him. Before the commencement of the concert, the small hall was full. And music lovers were patiently waiting outside.
    He positioned on the stage by 6 45 and took 15 minutes to tune the tanpura. He looked as if he was in an ambiguous state of mind-whether to begin or not.
    Jora Azhuthaar.
    Selection of ragas supplemented by chauka kaalam were horrible. Bhaavam suddama ellai. Kadanukku vanthu paadittu ponar. Evallavu mosam endru ethirpaarkkavillai. T M K concert enna veettula erukkalam! Vera nalla cutcheri tape pottu ketkkalaam.
    TMK,
    IF YOU CANNOT PERFORM SINCERELY, YOU NEED NOT COME. There are plenty of musicians who sing better than you do. You are in a world of newly/recently acquired fame and glory-which will not last long. You are reveled in that: you have taken the audience for granted; You are digging your own grave.
    You must learn stage manners also. I saw you not allowing the press photographer to take the picture of your performance. Why? Next time when (if) you COME ASK THE ORGANIZERS TO PRINT IN THE NOTICE
    “PHOTOGRPAHY of my concert is PROHIBITED”. It will be convenient for the press people. They need not come all the way. It would save their time and energy.

    Kirana gharana in full flow

    Prabha Atre’s recital spoke volumes of her discipline and dedication.

    shri padmanabha --was it a benefit performance for which he was denied the amount he had stipulated? please check it up. I feel you need not be so harsh.

    The eight-day Swati Sangeetotsavam 2008 proved to be a sumptuous treat for rasikas who thronged the venue.

    Music and debate

    B. RAMADEVI

    The 38th anniversary celebrations of Pollachi Tamizhisai Sangham offered a mixed bag.



    Melodious and mesmerising: Vasundhara Rajagopal and (below) Lalgudi G.J.R. Krishnan and Lalgudi S. Vijayalakshmi at the Pollachi Tamizhisai Sangham.

    Music concerts, a pattimandram and a play featured in the 38th anniversary celebrations of Pollachi Tamizhisai Sangham, held at Mahatma Gandhi Mandapam, Pollachi. On the first day, Dr. Sahthiyaseelan acted as the mediator for the pattimandram and th e topic was ‘Should art just provide pleasure or uplift humanity?’

    R. Shannmugavadivelu and R.Madhu emphasised that art is meant only to entertain while A. Arivoli and Jothi Ramakrishna insisted that it has a duty towards society and humanity.


    Throught-provoking

    The thought-provoking arguments were generously interspersed with humorous observations and anecdotes evoking guffaws and the final verdict was that the purpose of art is to uplift humanity.

    Vasundhara Rajagopal’s voice increased in melody as the concert progressed and when she concluded with the mangalam, one wished she would go on for some more time. She had absolute control over the voice as it soared without any strain at the higher octaves. Most of her songs were in Tamil and there were some rarely heard kritis such as ‘Ennaiyum vara sonnaaro raghunaayakar’ in Manirangu.

    Vibhishana is ecstatic when he hears that Sri Rama has agreed to see him. But he feels he does not deserve this honour and pours out his gratefulness to Rama in this song.

    Arunachalakkavirayar’s lyrical genius came alive in Vasundhara’s honeyed voice.

    After singing ‘Aaraadha arulamudham’, a viruttam in Brindavana saranga, she presented the eagerly expected ‘Ranga puravihaara’ by Diksitar in all its glory. One got to hear ‘Kaaranam kettu vaadi’, a popular number of the past after many years. ‘Tha thai endraaduvaar’ by Gopalakrishna Bharati was delightful. S.P. Anantha Padmanabha wielded his bow with sensitive understanding.

    Thiruvananthapuram Vaidhyanathan gave rhythmic support and presented an impressive tani.

    Laya-perfect

    Lalgudi G.J.R. Krishnan and Lalgudi S.Vijayalakshmi, the torch bearers of the Lalgudi tradition, mesmerised the listeners with their melodious, laya-perfect music. They commenced and concluded their concert with the compositions of their guru and father Lalgudi Jayaraman.

    The varnam, ‘Innam en manam ariyaadhavar pola’ in Charukesi, was a continuous flow of melody that was pleasant but not torrential. The ragas Bahudari, (‘Sadhaanandha thaandavam’ by Achyutha Dasar), Saveri (‘Muruga Muruga endraal’ by Periyasamy Thooran), Shanmukhapriya (‘Aandavane unai nambinen’ by Papanasam Sivan) and Saramathi (‘Mokhamu galadha’ by Tyagaraja) were depicted with depth and skill. But the crown was Mohanam.

    While they presented ‘Kapaali’ by Papanasam Sivan, melody reigned supreme, and the complicated swara phrases glided through their deft fingers. ‘Chinnanjiru kiliye Kannamma’ is one of the eternal favourites of instrumentalists and Krishnan created a sort of record by playing ‘Kannamma’ in innumerable ways, each more endearing than the other. Neyveli B.Venkatesh on the mridangam and Kovai V. Mohanram on the ghatam, who enjoyed playing, contributed significantly to the success of the concert.
