Accomplishment of a fine blend of technique, dexterity and profundity of knowledge with sagacity and soulful involvement marked the violin solo of Visakhapatnam AIR staffer M. Srinivasa Narasimha Murthy at Kalabharathi last Saturday.
His wife Pantula Rama tunefully on violin, V. Ramana Murthy going resonantly vibrant on mridangam lent remarkable support. The concert was organised by the Visakha Music Academy in commemoration of the 68th birth anniversary of its past president and former AU English Professor, late L.S.R.K. Sastry.
Getting off to a tunefully brisk start with the Navaragamalika Varnam, Murthy sustained the tenor of the tempo playing Vatapiganapathimbhaje (Hamsadhvani) concluded with crafty swaram, Balakanakamayachela (Athana) thrillingly, Manasa Etulorthune (Malayamarutham) meditatively along with the adornment of meaningful swaram and Telisi Ramachintana (Purnachandrika) with appealing fervour before he brought out an entrancing treat of Marivere (Shanmukhapriya) invigorated with enthralling aalapana, neravu and swaram.
He immediately followed it with an equally enchanting treat of Mohana Rama (Mohana) prefixed with an adept aalapana and suffixed with scintillating swarakalpana. Starting with a tunefully dulcet and tranquil beat on mridangam, Ramana Murthy executed a sublime thani that was replete with vibrant exercises of gathi and yathi. He seemed to have gone ecstatically poetic transliterating the enticing attributes of the enduring beauty of Lord Rama as it gets revealed in the lyrical component into the finest of the fine vocabulary of mridanga talam and its intrinsic layabhavam. Venkatesh on morsing went exquisitely conformable. Rama as well especially in her turns on violin played with elan. Narayanatheertha Tarangam in Darbarikanada, a bhajan of Tulasidas and the popular Dhanasri Thillana constituted the lilting tailpiece.
