Quick Review - Bharat Sundar and Ramakrishnan Murthy



Concert of Bharat Sundar and Ramakrishnan Murthy in NGS mini hall. Very satisfying concerts. 

Bharat sang Chandrajyoti (Bagayanayya) as sub main and Thodi (Dasukovalana) as main. Ananth in violin did justice to both the alaps. Although i felt the mike for mridangam spoiled the playing of Balaji to an extent. Despite that it was good enough. And the thani in misra jampa (esp the last korvai was apt for the eduppu - "sowmithri tyagaraju")

It was RKM's birthday and he did start with Endaro Mahanubhavulu (after the wishes) and then went on with Sowrashtram (Sooryamurthe). Main piece was Shankarabharanam (Sarojadhalanethri). Charumathi in violin was equally good. Anatha R Krishnan reminds Palghat Raghu in his style and playing (ofc hez the grandson as well). Guruprasad matched him well in the blitzkreig thani. Very unfortunately had to leave after the thani for some personal reasons and missed the RTP.

Despite all these it was so frustrating to see quite a few agnanavadhis leaving out during thani. (400 periyar vandhalum thirutha mudiyathupa  )
