Charulatha Ramanujam is raising the bar of her
performance in each and every concert. If it was her Devagandhari last
month during Navarathri concert stood out, yesterday she did held forte
and the onslaught from Abhishek to render a brilliant Ananda Bhairavi
alapana (Marivera gati). What followed was a soulful rendition of krithi
by Abhishek. Started with Kalyani varnam (Vanajakshi). Known for hi
s
speed and swara korvai’s he didn’t disappoint with a lovely Kanada
krithi (Sri Naradha Naadha) with detailed swaras and Purvi Kalyani (
Paraloga samadname) to follow. The main piece was Todi (Emi jesithe)
yesterday and Abhishek did an elaborate alapana showing the nuances of
the raga with, some mesmerizing pidis, sangatis etc. This is the 2nd
Todi of 2012 the earlier one I heard in January by TMK (Dachu kovalena).
Anand on Mridangam showed his class on Tani along with very impressive
Guruprasanna on Khanjira. Asaaveri (maapla velasiki ra), Garudhadwani
(Ananda sagara dhani ) were the other krithis in this concert.
He went on to render a lovely Annamaiyya’s krithi in Sankarabaranam (Navaneetha Chora namo namo) to end the concert
