Mahadevan Sankaranarayanan - Vocal Support,
Nagai Muralidharan - Violin,
Sri Mushnam Rajarao - Mridangam

The connection between the performing artiste and rasikas usually gets forged from the very first piece. But maintaining that connection till the last piece is possible only for a very few artistes. T.V. Sankaranarayanan possesses this rare quality....more

Semmangudi Srinvasa Iyer Centenary Concert
by his disciple Trivandrum G. SeethaLakshmi
   
August 22nd, 2009
Srikanth Joysula - Violin
Vinod Seetharaman - Mridangam

Vidushi Seethalakshmi was the musician of the connoisseur. If you had wanted glamour you may not find it here. But if you wanted to soak in old world Carnatic values, in depth and weight, you could find it in abundance. She began with ‘Mooladhara’ (MayamalavaGowlai-Sankaranarayana Iyer) and Bhuvinidasudane’ (Sriranjani-Tyagaraja) that followed had crisp swaras that could still bring out the bhava of the raga. Varali (Karunai Purindhu-Nilakanta Sivan) seemed tailor-made for her instincts........more

Vocal Recital by
Neyveli Santhanagopalan    
May 29th, 2009
S.D. Sridhar - Violin, Thanjavur K. Murugaboopathi - Mridangam

Neyveli R.Santhanagopalan is a versatile musician who breathes, walks and sings music. To him music is his lifeblood and it is more than just a profession. He is a musician steeped in tradition and yet highly creative and innovative. His music is deeply evolved around “bhakthi’ and “bhava” and also attractive and entertaining. His music is couched in traditional classicism and yet most popular and mass appealing. He is an effective bridge between the traditional convention and the present day environment.He is an idealist who always seeks and attempts at perfection in any sphere of musical activity.

Vocal Recital by
S. Sowmya    
April 24th, 2009
R.K.Shriramkumar - Violin, Neyveli Narayanan - Mridangam

Sowmya always applies herself completely to the task while making her presentations and her flight of genius really knows no bounds. Her scholarly handling of Vagadeeswari at Krishna Gana Sabha that featured an RTP in this raga went to prove this point.She must have made a mental appraisal of this raga gathering its essential structure and fundamental characteristics with Tyagaraja’s ‘Paramathmudu,’ as her reference point. The song itself opens with the vivadi prayoga, . ...more

Veena Recital by
Nirmala Rajasekar    
February 21st, 2009
Vijaya Desikar - Violin, Sriram Natarajan - Mridangam,
Balaji Chandran - Ghatam

Nirmala Rajasekar had an additional unprecedented hurdle to face. After her Nattakurinji (‘Bhudhamasrayami’-Dikshitar) the string (thandhi) gave way. She had come equipped — nose plier, chalk powder and spare-length thandhi — and it was a demonstration of sorts as she pressed the reset button and carried out the change with amazing alacrity. ‘Varanaradha’ (Vijayashri-Tyagaraja) beckons fast-paced swaras and these were played at a pace that was accepted and appropriate. The alapana for Bhairavi (‘Mugathai Kaati’-Papanasa Mudaliar) had some perfectly conceived phrases. It was indeed exemplary and gratifying to see the artiste follow the practice of rendering the lyrics for the niraval vocally (‘Saya Rakshayil Vandhu’) along with the instrument for it to properly register and occupy the minds of the listeners before its comprehensive launch. The Tiruppavai of the day (Margazhi - day 3), ‘Ongi Ulagalandha’ in Arabhi was her concluding song. ...more
