AMAZING TALENT Surya Prakash and Vidyasagar at their best on the stage.
The boys are young but show amazing talent on the tablas. V. Suryaprakash and V. Vidyasagar hail from a reputed family of tablists. Their father Amrit Kumar is a lecturer of tabla at the G.V.R. Government College of Music and Akashvani and a well-known tabla player.
The event was part of Swarajhari's monthly programme and took place at Sri Sivaramakrishna Kshetram, Vijayawada. The boys enthralled the packed crowds with fine rhythmic patterns in teen tal and played a number of mukdas in vilambit and drit tempos. Some intricate patterns were marked with great clarity. Hindustani vocalist and principal of the Music College Ch. Sriramachandra Murthy showered well-deserved praise on the young brothers.
The tabla delight was followed by a fine vocal concert by C.V.P. Sastry who was trained in music by his mother Suseela Gopalam, a veena vidushi and Modumudi Sudhakar, vocal vidwan. Sastry's voice was in fine condition and his concert began with Sriraga varnam followed by the Annamacharya keertana in Regupti Purushothamudaveevu. The keertana carried admirable kalpana swaras.
Next came Neeke Teliyakapothe of Thyagaraja in Anandabhairavi. After rendering Garuda Gamana in Nagaswaravali, Marivere Dikkevarayya Rama of Patnam in Shanmukhapriya and Swati Tirunal's Deva Deva in Mayamalavagowla with remarkable manodharmam, Sastry presented a fine pallavi in Kambhoji set to Khandatriputa talam and executed it with precision and confidence. Palaparthi Nageswara Rao on violin and K. Sai Giridhar on the mridangam ably supported him respectively. Sastry's concert came to a close with a Tarangam of Narayana Teertha Madhava Mamava Deva in Neelambari.
