Abhishek Raghuram - Thiruvarul - Rupakam -Raga Beethovanapriya - Invented by Ramesh Vinayakam

[@pavithrap9495]

I saw an article in Hindu and searched for this video. So mesmerizing😇💜

[@chandrasekaranvaidyanathan1215]

What a stunning creation! Very original and only Abhishek can pull off such a stunning performance with such depth.. as though the kriti in vogue for a very long time.. very beautifully explored by Mylai KarthikEyan and L Ramakrishnan too... Kanjira man is always on top.... Amazing swara korvais that underlines the parallel with Beethoven's original work

[@garytrevino876]

😅 I am very much addicted to Carnatic music. When I saw the name Beethovanapriya, I thought it looks similar to Beethoven only to read in the description.

[@yamunaraju8747]

Beautiful new ragam Beethovanapriya and a Tamizh composition by Vid. Shri Ramesh Vinayakam and rendered very beautifully by Vid. Shri Abhishek Raghuramam with an excellent support on the 🎻 by Vid. Shri L.Rsmakrishnan , and on the Nadaswaram by Vid. Shri Mayilai Karthikeyan and only and excellent percussion support on kanjira by Vid. Shri Sundarkumar. The kalpanaswaras by all the three vidwans are simply simply superb in lingering in our ears.

[@vidyasarma5509]

At the outset I must thank Ramesh for broadcasting on You tube this unique creation of this amazing ragam . His choice of the Nadaswaram instead of Mridangam for this concert is added to this wonderful programme

[@nnaveenzinkumar1694]

excellent...credit to the singer and Ramesh Vinayakam....would like to see this song from other singers..

[@HariMusicZone]

Für Elise meets Carnatic. Beautiful work by Ramesh Vinayakam 👏👏👏

[@r.vinayakam2858]

Ramesh Vinayakam,the composer of this new Raga Beethovanapriya has also made the lyrics of this composition along with the raga effortlessly easily.He is a vageyakara.Very rare one for us to witness.

[@SitaShank]

Thanks for the lyrics &the explanation of the finer points of this composition & ragam. 🙏🏼

[@sunilsrinivas]

Have always loved these innovations in music. For people wanting to hear more of Western and Carnatic fusion music, y'all should listen to Dance with Bach by Punya Srinivas. Many of us would have heard it at least once in our lives, the famous interval music played in Satyam cinemas those days. That song is a tribute to Bouree in E minor by Bach, and she marries her own composition with the song so well to make it sound magical.

[@seshadrisubramanian]

A write up in The Hindu led me to this video. Absolutely beautiful.

[@bhavaniramesh3418]

Marvelous composition in a brand new ragam!!! Congratulations Ramesh!! Brilliantly rendered by Abhishek and others👏👏👌👌

[@jalajaprasad7468]

Very unique raga sir Also very nicely presented sir Thank u

[@jeremiahrajanesan829]

Beautiful. Beethoven contextualised rightfully for South India.

[@yadukrishnanj.5915]

Wow..🙏🤩Sir, this is one of the best example that shows Music a universal language.

[@65siva]

very innovative and NO ONE EXCEPT Abhishek can pull off such complicated one with an ease and also sounds sooooooo good... Very abtly supported by Mylai Karthikeyan and LR..

[@sundaresancv6783]

Thank you for this upload and also for the beautiful introduction to the post. Thank you once again.

Scale a raagam maathrathu beautiful thoughts and it's sounding divine as well❤

[@vineethchakyar]

This is just out of the world.. Brilliant ❤️

[@aparnashastry7761]

Everyone gets impressed by artistes’ talent, but how many understand the hardwork, gurubhakti, humility needed to achieve this kind of mastery? This is possible only by internalising the tattvabodhanam present in Saint Thyagaraja kritis.

[@balajisethuraman8436]

It's very nice. Please share the Arohanam and Avarohanam of the ragam

[@krs4570]

We applaud 👏👏👏 the Height of creativity in deriving a Carnatic classical raga from the Beethoven's classical masterpiece "fur Elise" (means for Elise) 💐. One glitch is that the correct spelling of Beethoven has been changed to Beethovan 😬-- if it can be rectified, it will please the millions of fans of Beethoven. 🙏🙏🙏

[@thivyasubbukutty4396]

Yes I can feel fur Elise and if Beethoven was born in Thanjavur ippadi thaan paatu poturpaaru..yes❤

[@skanchana2002]

Wow! That is quite an impressive work! Amazing team too. 👏

Brilliant performance! Abhishek lead the team very finely!

[@sreenathsastry6996]

Very beautifully sung, and an interesting experiment. But the connection between this raga and Fur Elise does seem tenuous to me.

[@sangeethanarayananmusic]

Superb Imagination and converting the scale into a Ragam!

[@readingallowed559]

Dear Vinayakam ji, Outstanding composition. Tamil padikka teriyadhu. Can you please share lyrics in English script? That would be very helpful in learning the song along with Raghuram ji's rendition. Thank you very much.

[@thiruneermalaimanithavil4265]

[@kalyanasundharamnarayanan7753]

Neither I know Carnatic nor western since used to hindi retro film music... But somewhere this touches my soul so I presume others comments must be noteworthy since leading violinist violin Kalyanam has thanked me for this forward plus 3 class symbols. Innovation can preserve Carnatic music for a long period of time in my opinion as a very lay man.

[@marank225]

Excellent raagam

[@vijaypjacob]

wow....... Out of words.....

[@deepachekrigari5293]

🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@thiruvalluvar]

Beautiful ❤

[@godnathan2648]

What nice rendition of this team for an exploration of musics juxtaposed with traditional nagaswaram and other instruments.But chosen words for lyrics should have been short and simple so that for easy tongue .but the vocalists voice and nuances shouldn't be suppressed.Hence again,some research on multiple instruments can be tried like "arumuganam"like kanjira harmonium,morsing,Veena,jalatharang kadam and miruthuangam Long live music!!!

[@vidmaths_2019]

Excellent. Good innovation.

[@jayanthg6848]

A raga cannot be invented, however it can be discovered or can be called as created if not in any texts. That being said, really appreciate your creation, its really fantastic and Abhishek has marvellously delivered it with bhava and so are the accompaniments. Let more similar stunning creations come out from you through Lord Subrahmanya's blessings!

[@vinayak4201]

Thank you for your kind words Sir! However let me clear a misconception that prevails generally.. that a raga cannot be invented (but can be only discovered’.) Invention is a intended design that’s non existent before while discovery is an accidental finding. invent /ɪnˈvɛnt/ verb create or design (something that has not existed before); be the originator of discover /dɪˈskʌvə/ verb 1. find unexpectedly or during a search. "firemen discovered a body in the debris" If people put forth the argument that the possibility of a raga is inherent in the existence of the swaras and therefore it is not invention then one cannot also call Micheal Faraday’s electric motor as invention since the possibilities already existed in the laws of physics. Intended design that’s new and that which is not an accidental finding - that is what an invention is. This raga is an invention because I have consciously designed the scale and phrases of Fur Elise anew with the appropriate gamakas in such a way that it conforms to the concept of a raga with clear definition of its Lakshana ie. unique features that makes it unambiguously distinct from any other raga and also pleasing to the minds of people. YO ASAU DHWANI VISESHASTHU RANJAKO JANA CHITTAANAM SA RAGA: The meaning of above basic definition of what constitutes a raga is: that which has a special sound colour of its own and that which attracts the minds of people, is a Raga. Thus an original new melody (by Mozart for example) too is an invention. Hope this helps😊😊

A very good creation from RV. I was upset with his mediocre music for Ramanujam. Abhishek rocks in typical BMK style. Hope he sings RTP in this raga soon.

[@barbaraguzik4048]

Dear Mr Abhishek Raghuram, you have some beautiful ragas in Karnatik music, like Todi,Kataharapriya, Nattakuranji to name a few. You don't need a rehassh of "fur Elise',( which by the way is in La Minor) and call it a new raga ! In fact, I have attended some of your recitals and found them brilliant in pure Karnatik music!.

[@vinayak4201]

Dear Barbara, Without taking anything away from your preferences I need to clarify a couple of things in here.. The body of ragas did not come into existence at once. New ragas kept on adding themselves to the pre existing ones. The new ones when they stand the test time become the traditional ‘beautiful’ classical ones. Today’s new ones are tomorrow’s tradition. Nobody knows who invented each one of them nor what inspired or influenced them - they could have been anything from anywhere- but the process of evolution of ragas had always been on, as it should be. Coming back, this however is not a rehash of Fur Elise. It is an assimilation of a classic melody by treating it with aesthetic inflection of South Indian gamakas in the South Indian idiom - to make it stand on its own merits as a raga. Karnatic music simply made the ‘foreign violin’ recognising the queen of instruments as it’s very own, more than a century back! In any case Beethoven himself was greatly influenced by Rig Veda. Beauty Knowledge Wisdom and things…should always be welcome no matter where they come from! By the way ma’am, I am the originator of this raga Beethovanapriya and the composer of this Kriti.

[@drsridharan5228]

@@vinayak4201 Beautiful and impressive explanation. This Krithi is so unique and Divine. Abhishek has brought it's soul in his own inimitable style🙏🏿👍🏼

[@venkataramaniramanathan4220]

Intriguing, melody is maintained without pushing back Fur Elise of the Great Beethoven. RV your work is commendable. This sort of innovation is required to bring in new flavour without spoiling tradition. Keep going.

[@nskdvk51]

I am only a rasika without music background. Please bear with me for asking an elementary question- does it bear resemblance to Keeravani?

[@revathiramani1369]

Neither pleasing nor appealing to the ear Kichidi of multiple swaras

Don't say this..I feel it's deep...it's unique.......azhagaana paadal manase engeyo kootitu poguthu

[@jayanthirajaram3321]

Sounds funny. Good research but not quite appealing. Keervaani swarams with both Madhyamam.

[@Uyou-op7ec]

What is funny in this?What is not appealing here to You?Is this the way You express without clarity,a vague half baked thoughts?

[@ChandraSekharchaganti]

😂🎉

[@ganeshsadasivam5672]

This raag very much resembles Vasantha Bhairavi raag, born of 14th Melakartha Raag Vakulabharanam. Akso Abhishek Raghuram is a drishti parikaaram singer in Carnatic sangirgam field as he has spoiled the original structure of all the kruthis in his all fake carnatic concerts.
