Ramakrishnan Murthy: Raga Ritigaula

Here's another kriti, Badalika Tira, composed by Svami Thyagaraja that Ramakrishnan Murthy performed at the FEA-curated A SOUTHERN TURN concert.
Murthy was accompanied by RK Shriramkumar on violin, Manoj Siva on mridangam and BS Purushotham on kanjira.

[@nagarajansridhar7457]

Kanjira vidwan shri.B.S.Purushothaman is enjoying the reethigowla more than anyone! See his reactions second by second. A nice feast within a feast!

[@Samskrithii]

FEA is the one and only channel posting videos with excellent audio quality................. Most channels on you tube are hardly listenable and hurting to the ears. Thanks to FEA a million times.

[@kb3dow]

Yes, FEA does an excellent job both in the audio and video fronts with a multi camera setup. Many others videos look amateur setups compared to FEA videos. A great service to all music lovers indeed.

[@soraiyurvraman]

Even for a novice like me, I was able to identify the Raga as soon as he began. That shows his talent. 🙏

[@Justin2cu]

That shows Ilayaraja's mark

[@ranttilucant]

@@Justin2cu please explain to me how ilayaraja is relevant to this?

[@user-io7sh7nx7c]

​@@ranttilucant I think he meant Tyagaraja

[@subbuv3257]

@@ranttilucant Listen to the movie songs composed by Ilayaraaja based on Reetigowlai raagam, it is too good, I have learnt atleast 15 raagas based on this movie songs based on carnatic raagas

[@vijayanand-sd4go]

Magic of Reetigowla, that start of khanjira at 11:00, so sooothing!!!

[@eytonshalom]

Srikumar is most def one of my favorite Carnatic violinists. Always a sweet tone, never hard on the ears. Did not realize till today that he played, as a a young man, for MS Amma.

[@ramsundaram4615]

Amazing RKM. What a lovely rendering of Rithi Gowla. .you are a gift to Carnatic music. Totally blissful.

[@pkrishnamurthy19]

This is my lullaby every night before I go to sleep. If you are suffering from insomnia or stress listen to this before sleeping. I guarantee you 8 hours of peaceful rest and relaxation. Such a divine voice and rendition

[@ranganathansrinivasan7244]

Very true. I always listened to ranjini hebbar before i go to sleep. Very soothing raga.

[@kowshikchalla]

Interestingly! This krithi also says to sleep until feeling relaxed to rama😅

[@josephpalackal2366]

The bass tone of the Kanjira adds marvelous beauty to the performance. Never knew that Kanjira is such a powerful percussion instrument.

[@guran02]

Shades of Santhanam in this Ritigowla - that's some accomplishment!

Me! I am chasing all of this Young Master's exciting performances over and over. Can't get enough of his soulful Shasthriya Sangeetha. May the Young Star Ramakrishnan Murthy be the Ambassador of Karnataka Classical Music all over the World. May he grow from strength to strength in his quest for perfection.

[@drharitam5613]

Very beautiful rendering of the raga with a very chaste presentation of the kriti. The pronounciation and the clarity was so good that we can even write down the notation. The percussion was more than perfect and took the entire presentation to a greater height.

[@natarajanchandrasekaran5504]

Marvelous. Good voice. Bright future. God bless you brother

[@sivaramanv.s.6043]

If you want to test the talent of a singer the scale is RITHIGOWLA & if he/she sings this Raagam with good San gash is, they are great. This boys Alabama is superb than the main Kriti as pakka vadhyam dominates. This boy has a high potential. My best wishes.

[@Nandakii]

To all those commenting that Sri RKM sang the kriti in a faster pace, i urge you to listen to Sangita Kalanidhi Sri GNB's recording of the same. It's my personal opinion that Rithigoula rendered in any pace will yield pleasure if Bhavam isn't sacrificed.

[@5849sam]

Excellent. Very melodious. Rendered beautifully.

Saketa Rama! Rest on your downy bed and be free of fatigue, erasing my inexhaustible sings, root and branch. Having exerted yourself so much, Lord, you need rest. Relenting at the pitiable plight of Brahma, you incarnated in the solar race, all the way down from your celestial abode. You had to trek enormous distances in the frightful jungles with Sita. There you shot down a Rakshasa who had assumed the form of a golden deer with the evil intention of separating you from Sita. Then you engaged yourself in relentless war to humble the might of arrogant Ravana and bestowed on his brother Vibhishana who was loyal to you the kingdom of Lanka. Thus you accomplished the onerous mission of protecting the Devas. What a lot of exertion all this must have meant, Immaculate Lord! Lie down and sleep soundly

Raaga aalapanai is very brilliant!!.... but Kriti is rendered in a fast pace which has spoilt the beauty of Reetigowla... Didn't expect this from a very traditional singer like Ramakrishnan Moorthy

[@yakeshwaran7346]

Okay

[@chitrayudhghatak]

He sang the alapana better than the krti.

[@rachanamuralinarayanan7391]

Percussion was suppressed too much in favor of vocals. It would have been more enjoyable if percussion too was given the importance it deserved in recording. Even so, a thoroughly enjoyable rendition. Great future to this young singer!
