It is the hamIrkalyANi and Anandabhairavi in this concert that will be remembered by me for a long time to come. The tAnam in hamsanandi, sahAnA, kApi and behAg only added to the Anandam/bliss induced by the Anandabhairavi! 🙂 What a choice of rAgams for tAnam!
It felt great listening to kOmaLAngi, a Sanjay’s classic, and the moving kANa vENDAmO again in the very next concert after Brahma Gana Sabha. The darbAri kAnaDa tillAnA left me longing to hear an elaborate darbAri kAnaDa from Sanjay.
Happy new year! Jus Landed in to ur blog. I couldn’t sit dumb (comment-less) after reading something about music. You’re doing great! And, I did attend T.M.Krishna’s concert on Jan 1st in music academy. The whole day i was wandering inside Music academy complex. 🙂 Btw, This is the 1st T.M.Krishna concert i’m attending. Speechless. T.M.K’s fluency w.r.t jumping from thaara sthaayi to mandhra sthaayi and all mind boggling. That evening i gotta chance to see sudha raghunathan, malladi brothers, nobel laureate venky ramakrishnan (chief guest) and more stalwarts. A musical New year!
Vijay,
A belated welcome to my blog!
If sonnadai seidida is the same rAgamAlika that GNB used to sing, then the first rAga is not saraswati. It is vandanadhAriNi – s r2 m2 p d2 s-s d2 p m2 r2 s. Essentially the pratimadhyama equivalent of suddha sAvEri.
