The concert started at 7.20 PM and ended at 9.30 PM. The delay was because of of speeches given by Shri.Suri Babu, Dr.Pinakpani’s son, Shri.SVK and Sri. PSN and above all , one lady from “Sruti foundation” also released a DVD on rAga vaibhav, a collection of rAgas by Sri.Nedanuri. She started “I came here to request Shri PSN to release the DVD and not to speak” and she spoke for 15 minutes !!!.
Of course, her speech was full of praising Shri.Pinakapani for his valuable speech and rAga delineation which was recorded and released in DVD 2. (current release was DVD no 3). I heard more speech than music .....
“Hamsavinodhini” Subrahmanyam was explaining, sitting next to me, the meaning of nAradamuni Kriti “Golden Veena is shining on nAradA’s white body” and he compared this with one photograph in the hall where paramAcharya is carrying Golden veena.
Two old ladies were discussing about “avul upma” for dinner making me to realise that was Ekadasi day.
Malladi is also giving speech in between giving the meaning of Janaranjani kriti and kApi kriti. Recently, I have observed one of the brothers love to talk more, prasing his gurugAru, other Saints or people sitting around. Hope he concentrates on singing and does not become “male” vishAka hari.
I would not conclude this as “unfair” for starting the concert at 7.20. ( The programme started at 5 PM). Dr.Pinakapani is a great artist and lauded by all the vidwans. But, considering the old people in the hall, the orgainsers had to plan so the rasikas have “satisfying” at least 2 and ½ hours concert.
About the concert- While MMgowla showed the class of MBs, 3 minutes rendition of balahamsa and the return by Varadarajan was truly good.
PantuvarAli’s nAradamuni, a stampld kriti Shri Nedanuri was rendered beautifully. They had to truncate the neraval because of time.
Violin by Varadarajan in begada shows how he is among the top 5 artists today.
He brought some sangathis which Shriramkumar could not render.
They took begada as main because Shri SVK narrated in his speech that he would never forget Dr.Pinakapani’s rendition of this kriti once. He used the word “byAgada”
Tani by Patri was short and well played by both the artists.
