Sanjay Subramanyan
Nagai Muralidharan
Mannargudi Easwaran
K V Gopalakrishnan-Ghanjira.
41st Karthik Fine Arts- 2015
Venue-Narada Gana Sabha
Date= 7th December 2015.

KFA Organiser expressed grievances on the recent rain and prayed for the people for the speed recovery and normalcy, followed by detailing Sanjay’s concert.    But I don’t know why he announced the first part in English and the second part in Tamil ?

Karthik Fine arts must be happy after mallAdi duo cancelled their concerts at 4.30 PM slot and at least Sanjay agreed.

Thanks to Sanjay, despite BBC and  Chennai  BC-(Ramanan)  - threatening for more rain, as he did not disappoint the rasikas and enthralled  with an  excellent concert.

While finishing “Tunbam nErgayil…..”, he used the word “namakku” “ inbam sErkamAttayA”  and his timely “pAsuram”-“kunRam Endhi kuLir mazhai” followed by Govardhan giri dhAra of Narayna Teertha-echoed the view of many chennaities  who experienced the fury of the rain.

2 hours and 45 minutes concert filled up with lot of enthusiasm.   Reasonable crowd was there till the last minute and gave a standing ovation.

I always say the plus point of Sanjay is his energy. At 9 PM, he took a “pudi” in chala nAtta which was amazing, like a take off of Boeing flight. 
The way in which he started keeravani and slowly making “sajAvat” of the rAgam, was like a rose covered with petals.  Such a beauty.
With nAgai muralidharan combination, which is rare now a days, it is like “catch me, if you can” type of experience.  Both of them are like – Manirathnam-kamalhassan combination.  One after other, they exhibit their skills in the respective field which is to be  seen to appreciate. 
I see their skill levels at its best-in RTP.  I experience their Jayanthashree RTP couple of years ago in the same venue /sabha- still in my thought.  In tanam-one after other –thoroughly enjoying their work.
Claps claps claps….everywhere.
Mannargudi’s tani with KVG is another treat.   Mannargudi is such a person who openly shower appreciation on the spot.
Good combination of artists, good concert- great time.
