Soulful rendition mam.what a mesmerizing voice mam ! Thanks.

[@padmaanand1719]

What a melodious n soothing voice,May God bless her with healthy long life.

It's demeaning that almost no one cares to identify the accompanying artistes although they are as important to the concert as the main performer. The violinist is the immensely talented HN Bhaskar. The mridangist is VV Ramanamurthy (Vankayala Ramana Murthy), a former child prodigy. On the ghatam is Giridhar Udupa, one of the most versatile young accompanists around.

[@anulakshman2025]

Completely agree with u

[@enrichingexchanges]

I agree. That is because of the so-called draw is toward the "main artiste". The spirit of offering often gives way to drama, decorations, and display. That is why the rendition of the majestic varAli is given a light treatment.

[@malathynarayanan6078]

Yes.They are also equally important for the concert.good rendition by them.Thanks

[@tmadanmenon]

In olden days Gurus will not teach thisVarali ragam to any disciple due to some superstitions that by doing so the Guru-sishya relationship will be strained and thus it can be learned only by listening cutcheries.Probably it may be due to its asymmetric nature by the vakra prayoga in ascending scale,which is considered as not good teaching! It is a vakra-sampurna-sampurna ragam (sampurna meaning containing all 7 notes. Since the madhyamam used is slightly higher than the prati madhyamam, and is also called as chyuta panchama madhyamam/ Varali madhyamam ! Many compositions in praise of Lord Ganesha are set to this raga. Bombay Jayasri presented rendition skills with powerful base voice entailing good range but at the same time sings with controlled tone...Thats the professionalism!.Having sung so eloquently with the needed phrased singing in Charanam she should have earmarked for a detailed improvisation @ the concluding line- 'karunyaamrtha paripurani kama krodhadi nivarini kadamba Gaana viharini' ..say The phrased words can be set within their original place in the tala cycle with letter higher level of pace to challenge pakkavadyams!!! .

super super super

[@rangarajan9080]

Can anyone post the full concert? Thanks

[@enrichingexchanges]

This is a majestic rAga with an incredible feeling. Unfortunately, this rendition falls flat in many ways. Listen to this Smt. MLV's rendition (kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIDalZVuaMSNlck) or this rendition by Sri Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer (kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3Pceoeue7p7qdE). The hallmark of a rendition of varAli is the continuity in expression of the motifs that feels like one continuous thread. To me, this rendition feels chopped up in awkward places. I am a fan of Smt. Jayashri (I have experienced tears flowing down my face listening to many of her songs, one in particular is the "kanden kanden kanden sitayai kanden raaghava" in vasantA). I am saying this so that the groupies don't jump on this comment. She is an outstanding vocalist, richly deserving of all awards and whatnot. My comment is strictly limited to this rendition of this krithi.

[@gauthamkrishnan5922]

Kanden seethayai is in Bageshri

[@enrichingexchanges]

@@gauthamkrishnan5922 You are absolutely right....I am confusing two different versions of the same song. Smt. Jayashri sings it in Bageshri but a whole bunch of others sing in Vasantha....Here is by Shri Neyveli, kzbin.info/www/bejne/epPNnpiVaJtsabM...and here is one by Smt. Sowmya....kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5uxmJaHmdefZ9U....clearly my mind is playing tricks. What I remember is how I felt about Smt. Jayashri's presentation...In any case, thank you for helping me recognize the conflation

WHAT IS RAGA AND COMPoSER NME

[@ThiruChembai]

I cannot believe such a quality composer is compared with the other two. There is only one Moorthy that is Dixithar and no one else. Shyama and Thiagaraja are in the distant second.

[@vsn79]

***** Dont be stupid to pass such comments! you are too small to make judgements about the people that you are talking about.

[@trc108uma]

+Belson Devarajan that shows your ignorance about Carnatic music and vageyakaras
