MY FESTIVAL ‘Learning should never stop’
MUSIC ACADEMY Laya in a wide spectrum Four percussion vidwans, each master of the instrument he was wielding, showed the nuances of rhythm. MUSIC ACADEMY Perfect diction Vilasini handled rakti ragas with care. MUSIC ACADEMY Rich in melody The high-pitched gamakas did not rob M.S. Sheela’s voice of its melody. MUSIC ACADEMY It was fairytale stuff With Patri Satishkumar and Amrit nurturing laya, the violins of Kanyakumari and Embar Kannan gloriously combined as one. NARADA GANA SABHA Show of concert skills Melody, in the process, took a back seat. Repertoire of rare songs INDIAN FINE ARTS SOCIETY With professional grace Nirmala Rajasekar’s profundity on the instrument was unquestionable. SRI RAMA BHAKTA JANA SABHA Steeped in tradition The recital by Hyderabad Sisters was perfectly classical while that of Aditya Venkatesh was in DKJ’s style. KARTIK FINE ARTS Hinged on patanthara D.B. Ashwin’s recital was in copybook fashion. MUSIC ACADEMY Sung with gusto With their experience Rudrapatnam Brothers made the concert enjoyable, though they had to grapple with their vocal chords. SRI PARTHASARATHY SWAMI SABHA Pleasant, but not great Sowmya was not at her best in this concert. Sikkil Gurucharan proved his mettle once again. MUSIC ACADEMY Weaving a web of creativity It was a delight to the ears for the sheer combination of melody and perfection of timing in the coordination of Shashank and his three accompanists. MUSIC ACADEMY Voice belies her age It was not bland at any point – such was the variety.
MUSIC ACADEMY Sparkling show of style There was never a dull moment in Alarmel Valli’s performance. NARADA GANA SABHA Fresh approach It was remarkable to see Shobana Bhalchandra perform mandi adavus and sarukkals perfectly throughout her recital. |
