[@SekharGanpathy]

A definite “Sangeetha Kalanidhi” contender! Thank Abishek! Wonderful rendition.

[@lganimys]

His command over the saptaswara matches to one and only Tiger Varadachari. I think we should call him Tiger Abishek Raghuram.

[@kanaghaks]

Yes absolutely

[@kkchidambaran9435]

His swaraprastharams r unparalleled and unique ,mismarising, soul touching and took me to a different world of music. Both Neyveli and vittal the r not lagging at all in any way the r following Abhishek like a shade but beautifully and cheerfully to.make overall rendition highly successful

[@vijayrk7329]

Seems like mohanakalyani is a stronghold of anybody associated with Lalgudi family .. how superlative is this!

Extra ordinarily great performance, especially the second one from 7:40 to 23:50 . Truly the torch bearer for our greatest Carnatic Classic system. Keep up, learn more, be humble and you will always be a delight for us, Abhishek. The Mridangam and Violin too were very good, even the last beat from Mridangam ended nicely. :-)

[@ShriramVasudevanMusic]

Yes that portion was just amazing! He sang Tamadham Tagadayya so well and he really elaborated.

[@classicuppi]

It's not an easy raga that yields to elaborate alapana and niraval. He is extraordinary

Is there any corner he has not touched in Madhyamavathi? wonderful. Surely he is great.

[@sury39]

Abishek has proved that he has his own style; very enjoyable to listent to his kalpanaswarams;thks jaya tv for the upload.suryanrayanan, paris

[@tyagarajakinkara]

the grahabhedham in sindhubhairavi to mohanakalyani proves his penchant for adventure but should be used with caution,as I noticed that some in the audience didn't understand what was going on

[@atmaninmusic]

I agree audience receptivity needs to be taken in to account. But at the same time it is the duty of the musician to elevate the standards of the audience. While you are receptive to the audience, you also need to go to the next level so that slowly you educate the audience. It is because of so many other contemporary musicians who have stuck only to so called " janaranjakam" that today the audience is unable to differentiate between good carnatic music and a superficial music and is in a state as you say not knowing what was going on

[@ravindrabhatt]

Hari Sudhan In the audience everyone wants different things,, This ghahabhedham is a joy for one section (Me!!! :) ) in the audience..

[@geeteshiyer]

I agree about the audience bit but I think we need such creativity to take Carnatic music forward. Abhishek adds a new dimension to it which is so heartening to see!!

[@balanr1729]

Mulugu neelotpal correction. Not some but many.

[@DevarajanRamkumar]

mohanakalyani raga elaboration made me shed tears of joy,abishek genius raghuram,i request you to elaborate reethi gowla,durga,sahana in future.great going

[@muralimanohar8067]

GREAT HE IS....MAY THE ALMIGHTY BLESS HIM WITH LONG AND HEALTHY LIFE FOR THE WORLD TO LISTEN TO AND ENJOY HIS MUSIC.

[@366574]

I love abishek raghuraman for his wonderful D Singing

[@sreerajvasudevan]

The way Abhishekji rendered various nuances of Mohanakalyani and the agility shown must be lauded at this point!

[@keshavmagge4463]

Neraval starting at 13:44 seems to be a precursor to prepare the audience for the display of greatness coming up. The look of disbelief and amazement on the audiences' faces as the artiste continues to render the neraval and kalpanaswaras is a testament to his wizardry!

[@santajgd]

Ans to Vignesh! AR has done Sruti bhedam, that he has taken diff notes of Sindhubhairavi as shadja and has sung diff songs (Tillanas composed by Lalgudi Jayaraman). Tanpura tuned to one sruti would interfere while rendering the song! And hence!

[@vmindiran3325]

Sir superb rendition along with musicians excellent sairam

[@krishnamurthynarasipur2556]

Mohana kalyani was so sublime it would have made Lalgudi proud.The young genius handled the srutibedam with utmost ease only an instrumentalist could have accomplished A memorable concert indeed

[@subramaniyamhr6492]

[@jayashreebalachandran562]

I hear this concert again and again whenever I am depressed . I just love the mohanakalyani.

[@carnaticcentre277]

Absolutely correct. Same here also. Also Abhisek anna's Mohanakalyani excellent

[@ramakrishnan2247]

Such a splendid mohana kalyani rendition . Truly divine !

[@jayanarayan7475]

Rama Krishnan e

[@santajgd]

Two of the ragas by Srudti bhedam are Mohanakalyani and TIlang!

Excellent performance by Abhishek!! Vittal Ramamurthy's response on Lalgudi is inspiring. How very humble.

[@tyagarajakinkara]

as a grandson of laya vidwan palghat Raghu , abhishek revels in mathematical kanakku at the cost of bhava.this aspect comes to the fore in his rendition of 'thamatham tagadayya' you can gauge that the arthi(pleading) tone of the song is lost in technical gimmickry there is a chance of audience mistaking the meaning to be a celebration,which actually it is not,but a plaintive outpour of the soul for the true bhava listen to the rendition of the same song by Bombay jayasri by the way this is a composition of LALGUDI GOPALA IYER and NOT of LALGUDI JAYARAMAN

[@RamLakshmanan]

You are correct in your observations - very perceptive indeed! Abhishek is brilliant in the clarity of his brigas as well as the precision in his laya. What he lacks is maturity. As he gains experience and contemplates on the kriti's meaning and bhavam, he will realize that this is not the song that requires vocal gymnastics. Bombay Jayasri's rendering of course is on the dot - I agree. Singing a composition of his father's is something that Lalgudi Sri Jayaraman would have considered a greater tribute anyway!

[@nivasrini]

Well said Mr. Neelotpal.. Sometimes breakneck speed results in loss of Sowkhyam.. But, what a bright future for him.. one can only imagine

[@tyagarajakinkara]

Srinivasan S yes sir,he has definitely a bright future but his art should mellow down a bit there are some critics already stating that abhishek plays to the gallery, but the sowkhyam comes from maturity in middle-age,perhaps as the great DKP AMMA felt

[@balatv44]

Sir I need a help, Can you give me the names of Ragas of all the songs. Please.

[@tyagarajakinkara]

Bala Thiru sure! KANDAN SEYAL ANDRO-NATAKURANJI RAGA- LALGUDI JAYARAMAN THAAMATHAM TAGADDAYYA-MOHANAKALYANI-LALGUDI GOPALA IYER DEVA SRI TAPASTIRTHA NIVASA-MADHYAMAVATHI-SAINT TYAGARAJA TILLANA-SINDHUBHAIRAVI(WITH ABHISHEK'S OWN INDULGENCE IN GRAHABHEDHAM TO MOHANAKALYANI)-LALGUDI JAYARAMAN he might have sung many more compositions in the actual concert,but these are the songs that appeared on jaya tv programme of MMU 2013

[@gayathrichakrapani2632]

[@ravindrabhatt]

Mohana Kalyani followed by Devashri - Madhyamavathi

[@manuelpillaifrancil7933]

Absolutely wonderful. Abishek Raghuam must be congratulated for the way he has rendered carnatic ragas in his own style.

The legacy of Palghat Raghu, a legend himself, is unquestionable. But I find Chembai, K.V.Narayanasswamy, the greatM.D.Ramanathan and many more from Palghat (who laid their lives for music) in Abhishek at this young age. What an exubarance voice. His kalapramanams is next only to Madurai Mani iyer. I cannot comment more as his music is beyond divinity. May lord give him many more laurels. In my 5 decades of I could find only a few youngsters like him singing with dedication, ofcourse I cannot supercede Sanjay Subramanyan,a bit elder to Abhishek. -V.S.SIVARAMAN, age71,HYDERBAD 9-9-2015

[@GeetaSeshadri]

I share both views,that Abhishek's prowess is par excellence and that,even though it evokes awe in me about his musical knowledge, it does not tug at my heart strings or cause tears to stream down my cheeks with bhakthi as the voice of M.S or Jayashri does.

[@saivamuthu]

His gestures are not gimmics. They are very natural. See the face of the audience. While listening I found my self doing the same gestures while enjoying. He is very great. Of course Bombay Jaysri sang Mohana kalyani in her inimitable way. But Abishek surpasses her in some sangkathis. I bow myself before his jnana.

[@shyamasundara2061]

[@manjunathmysore9969]

AbhiShek cannot be Shaken by anybody because his Roots of singing are so strong. I missed his programme when held last year in Mysore at JSS Mahavidya Peetha. Iam eagerly waiting for his programme at Mysore Soon. In one of his performances, His Shanmukahapriya ragalapana which I heard is still lingering in my ears. In my teens, I was a fan of DR. MBK. and now at my 65, Iam Abhi's Fan. I pray the almighty bestow Abhishek long healthy life with his continued mellifluous voice.

[@vasanthichandrasekar4430]

I must have heard this many times. Abhishek is a genius. His great uncle Lalgudi was a maestro .most amazing concert

[@viswanathanvenkateswaran5456]

Abhishek is a phenomenon. Each time I listen to him, I get a feeling his talent is not normal, but way above human capabilities. In this concert, see those lower octaves in the Sree Raagam piece-scintillating! And to "tame" Lalgudi's thillana through voice is something tremendous. You could pick out those swarams in each brigaa. Awesome and brilliant. The Mohanakalyani was outstanding!

[@aravindarangarajan1999]

[@varshasatya9029]

Abhishek is a singer par excellence. No one can surpass his skills. What he has performed here is a revolution in carnatic music .Its easy to Criticize. It demands "Asura sadagam " to perform to this extent...His facial gestures and gimmics may be irritating. But his music has left the audience spell bound. He has done complete justice to Both the ragas Mohanakalyani as well as madhyamavati by exploring the most melodious combination of the swaras. Technicalities apart... At the end of it , music should touch ones soul.. And Abhishek's music exactly does it .

[@swaps5108]

இந்த மாதிரி கடாஷ்சம் செய்வதற்கு இறைவனும் தன்னை develop செய்து கொள்கிறானோ.?

[@RamLakshmanan]

Abhishek is a brilliant singer with a great felicity of voice unmatched in recent times! Particularly enjoyed "Kandan seyal andro" in Nattaikurinji - what lilting melody! - the swaraprastaram in Sri, the brilliant piece with graha bedam from Sindhu Bhairavi as the base, and the thillana in Khamas. Sri Vittal Ramamurthi and Neyveli Sri Narayanan have performed with great anticipation, grace and elegance thus embellishing the concert in many ways.

[@tyagarajakinkara]

the piece that you mentioned is in MADHYAMAVATHI not SRI you could have noticed that abhishek cleverly rendered swarams with gandhara varjyam(without using gandhara or 'ga' which is a static note in madhyamavati but oscillated orsung with gamakam only in sriragam) this kriti forms one of the five lalgudi panchkam which TYAGARAJA SWAMI COMPOSED WHEN HE VISITED LALGUDI SAPTARISHISWARA TEMPLE he also sang on goddess SRIMATHI 'gati nivani' in todi was also popularised by VidwanLALGUDI AND HIS SCHOOL hope you notice the difference between madhyamavati and sri regards

[@tyagarajakinkara]

Mulugu neelotpal

[@forestswaras]

Mulugu neelotpal I think you mean Ri, not Ga. Madhyamavathi has no gandhara in it, but Sri does in the avarohanam. Ri is oscillated in Madhyamavathi and is static in Sri.

[@tyagarajakinkara]

Achintya Prahlad yes indeed ! thank you for the correction MADHYAMAVATHI 'S phrases are 'srmpns' in arohanam and 'snpmrs' in avarohanam I was a bit confused thank you for the valuable correction yes its 'ri' which isoscillated in madhyamavati

[@krisi7562]

As long as Abhishek Raghuramans, Vishaka Haris and many other younger generation of Vidhwans are born and living in Chennai / TamilNadu, Chennai will remain the Cultural Capital of South India. I hope the politics of Anti-brahminism, does not drive out all Tamil brahmin families from TamilNadu. If that happens - God Forbid - we will have to look to the USA's Tamil brahmin immigrants. Therefore, I ask those Indo-American families to interest your children in Carnatic Music, please. Build a good Music Library - quality recordings in digital form as well as books in all Indian languages and in English. Please train and support your own music teachers, support them financially.
