Music academy podium was decorated with Green colour set in top and back and it was sort of “Go green”. Amazing to see so much of art work was carried out for an over 4 hours function by Sivasailam Trust. The invitation card itself showed the involvement of the team. High tea was served to all the visitors and there was a big crowd, being holiday, The hall was full at 5.30 itself and the concert started at 6.30 (After a long time 6.30 !!!!, in time)
Interestingly, a week back, Arun excello, where Sanjay performed, showing video presentation of their real estate projects before the concert and the rasikas got irritated and asked them to close the screening. Sort of Cinema theatre...news reel.....story.
No gimmicks, no tu toos, no Alattur type talakkattus, no complicated rAgas leaving the rasikas to debate- Sanjay presented another memorable concert. Few Somu “pudis” were observed in Kambodhi. Brisk Abhogi followed by fast “pollA”. He, as commented in his speech, took GNB composition and proved how he keeps GNB in high esteem.
kAmbodhi was a top class and master piece of MD (who will forget the Ariyakkudi-paramacharyAl conversation on this kriti) was rendered very well. But he finished abruptly for tani without swaram or neraval.
Violin – as senior vidwan told me once- “varadu” kku ellam “varudu” . “vArAdadhu enru onrum kidaiyadhu . kAlaiyum vAra mAttAn”. (varadarajan know everything, nothing like “unknown” and he will not let others down).
He closely followed Sanjay as “shadow” and proved him as one of the best vidwans today.
Tani is another class.
