Sangeetha KalAnidhi Concert-MA-24.12.12

Sri.Trichur Ramachandan


Sri.Mannargudi Eswaran

Sri M.A.Sundaresan

Sri. V. Suresh

Sometimes, you love to write a review for a concert. Here is this..

Rasikas who assembled in MA on this vaikunta Ekadasi day could not have asked for more. Sri TR showed vaikuntam through his impeccable music.

I am yet to find a superlative word for his concert. It is very hard to tell you which of the accompanists excelled better than other. It was 400% fully charged concert. After the concert was over, Sri TR stood up accepting 5 minutes standing ovation. At this age, he proved that age has got nothing to do if you had a guru like GNB and worshipping music like his guru.

See his amazing list. Any true GNB fan would like to hear from Sri TR, a ranjani varNam. Yes he started with the same.

1. ambOruha pAdame-ranjani varNam –Shri GNB

2. Malayamarutham-rAgam for 3 minutes –niravathi sukhadAyagi nine nammaga lEdha- Neraval in “karashobha bhimba vadanE” and Swaram. –Shri GNB

3. PantuvarAli (3 minutes) followed by Sri. SundararAjam bhajEham- MD

4. Sundara nandakumara – madhyamAvadhi- OV Kavi.

5. rAgam-BegadA- followed by kalayAmi ragurAmam – Swati TirunAl and swaram in dymaNi kula tilakam.

6. vara rAgalayya-Senju kAmbodhi-Thyagarajar

7. Bairavi-main- sarvAndaryAmi-Thyagarajar-Neraval in “tAriteliyadhu kontenu”- Swaram

8. Tani

9. unnadiyE Gati enru-bahudhari-GNB

10. RTP-ShanmugapriyA- Pallavi-“kanaga sabEsan dharisanam kaNdEn Anandam koNdEn-tillai”

11. HindustAni geet- rAga Hamir- (he said- in memory of his Hindustani guru Pandi KrishnAji). The song was like this “.....kaisE ghar jAvUn”

12. Sonnadhai seidhida”-rAga mAlika

13. yogeendrAnAm-verse from nArayaneeyam- Hamsanandi, Danyasi, sahAna, surutti.

---------Standing ovation--------

In MA, he must have rendered maximum number of kritis. Each and every kriti is a stamp of GNB and AAA+ rated. Some excerpts.

OVK song has got 9 saraNams. He rendered it beautifully. With swara jatIs.

Violin-MAS was in full swing. He played less time but the amount of bhAvams in his return was amazing. Along with Sri TR claps were pouring many times for him.

Shanmugapriya- that is the RTP I was yearning for. In a three stage rAgA Alapana, he brought the essence of the rAgA.

I thought my search for good music ended with this after I came out.

Tani- ME and Suresh- outstanding. After a long time, heard breathtaking kaNakkus from Ghatam. ME ever-smile added more taste to this “feast”.
