My Tribute
Manorama Music, Rs. 125.00
This is K.S. Chitra's tribute to M.S. Subbulakshmi. And Chitra has chosen the best possible way to do it. She has dedicated nine of the legendary singer's kritis and bhajans, rendering them in that magical MS style, trying to be as faithful as possible.
Like Chitra says in a short tribute at the beginning of the album, she, like millions, had grown up listening to that heavenly voice. From among a rich treasure trove, Chitra has chosen to recreate the charm of such kritis and bhajans as `Broohi Mukundeti... ,' `Bhavayami Gopalabalam... ,' `Kaattrinile varum... ,' `Bhavayami Raghuramam... ' and `Kurai onrum illai... ' the one which MS used to usually conclude her concerts.
What gives a modern touch to these songs is the use of different musical instruments. For those who have listened, time and again, to MS sing them in concerts with the traditional `kutcheri' instruments as backup, this version may not appeal at first hearing. But it is sure to grow on you.
