Charming Charukesi:
Raga Charukesi, known for evoking feelings of tranquility, peace, devotion, and sorrow all at once, has been used widely across classic and contemporary music in India. This medley showcases the full spectrum of compositions in a modern Carnatic concert, starting with a tanam and weaving into a varnam, submain, main, thukada, and thillana. The brothers have blended the compositions using unique improvisations and transitions, and have used the dual violin to create a seamless harmony. The compositions presented span 5 composers and 5 languages, and are as follows:
0:00 Alaap
1:02 “Innam en Manam” (Varnam) | Composer: Sri Lalgudi Jayaraman (1:02)
2:18 “Samanyavalla” | Composer: Sri Purandaradasa (2:18)
2:54 “Adamodi Galade” | Composer: Saint Thyagaraja (2:54)
3:46 “Kripaya Palaya” | Composer: Maharaja Swati Thirunal (3:46)
5:25 “Karunanidhan” | Composer: Maharaja Swati Thirunal (5:25)
6:57 Thillana | Composer: Sri Maharajapuram Santhanam (6:57)

Perhaps the un understood literature but nderstood and felt ethos makes me want to thank, pray, feel strong and compassionate all at once. While listening to the performance. Thankyou.

[@jacks6423]

I have no idea why the algorithm gave me this, but my morning is blessed for it. Thank you

[@rrajan5476]

Buddy this genre will drown you. Look for Carnatic music. It is ANCIENT

[@shashanks8035]

Charu charukesi!

[@parvatanaya]

Great concept, selection of composers and compositions. Great performance by the artistes. No words to express the beauty of this ragam. One’s heart would just melt listening to this ragam ❤❤

[@MadRasana]

Thank you so much

[@shikaripurmanjunath2433]

So hypnotizing Raga, Charukeshi. Lalgudi’s most famous Varnam sung by Shivasri Skandaprasad.

[@AnanthNat]

Many doyens and wizards have sung Innum en manam... Sivasri one of the last... and many more will.

[@rrajan5476]

Your own Kruthi Vittal(nee Bhatt) has!

[@harsh3391]

It's nice to hear even without accompaniment of Pakhavadyams.

[@bharathraoi5722]

It's nice to hear even without Pakkavaadyas..😍😛😎

[@shaktishastry7206]

Apparently a new concept. Charukesi has an appealing effect. Nicely rendered.

[@prasadpushkar3191]

Finest creation of Lalgudi Jayaraman mama! I wish you had played some base sangathis too! Good rendition!

[@shikaripurmanjunath2433]

❤❤❤Lalgudi’s Charukeshi!! Well done!!

[@akshaypadmanabhan8582]

Nice compilation Anish and arjun. Beautiful! 👏👏👏

[@satyamedicherla3236]

Beautiful piece of peaceful music!

[@SasthaSubbarayan]

I recall my early days of violin learning. It is good rendition and indeed too good to listen to the nuances without pakka vaadhyam . Good job

[@wanderlust0120]

What are those lamp/bulb things behind them which seem to contain fire? Very interesting.

[@RangaprabhuParthasarathy]

Interesting! Both bhargavi and Vishnu have done justice to the raga and paid rich tributes to all the four composers. Wish both of them the very best in their career
