Concert Review 

Melodious Veena recital at Nadasurabhi 

Mudikondan Sri.S.N.Ramesh commenced his concert with the popular Ata tala varnam Viribhoni. The well known Dikshitar kriti Vatapi Ganapathim in Hamsadwani followed. Brisk swaraprastharas stamped the beginning of an impressive evening’s programme. Purandara dasa’s Malayamarutham composition, Smarane onde Salade with beautiful kalpanaswaram came next.

 

An elaborate raga alapana of Vagadeeswari and Thyagaraja’s Paramathmudu were presented in a style which could bring out the inherent beauty and bhava of the kriti. Nannukanna thalli in Sindhukannada was a quick filler. The best piece of the evening was a soulful Lalitha alapana and the ever green Hiranmayeem Lakshmi Sada. Good swaras followed.

 

After two fast numbers, Jagadodharana and Marugelara, the main Shankarabharanam was taken up for elaboration. Ragam and Tanam were presented in a wholesome treat. Instead of a Pallavi, Sri.Ramesh played the grand Swararagasudha rounded up by swaras and tani avarthanam.

 

Tukkadas included Karadare Bare Barade in Janasamodhini, Bajagovindam, a ragamalika, Pillangoviya Chelva Krishna in Mohanam and Bhagyaada Lakshmi Baramma in Sree raga.

 

The concert was an extremely pleasant and enjoyable programme. Senior percussionists Sri.A.V.Anand on Mridangam and Sri. T.N.Ramesh on Ghatam gave good support.

 

Entry is free for all Nadasurabhi Programmes.
