Pristine and Pleasant

A harmonious blend of sampradaya and creativity marked the vocal concert of Sikkil Gurucharan featured by Nadabrahma Gana Sabha at Vanaprastha in Vadavalli, Coimbatore. The greatness of the kutcheri lay on the choice of kritis — ‘Thiruvadi Charanam’ (Khambodi), ‘Chalamelara’ (Margahindolam) and ‘Karunai Deivame’ (Sindhubhairavi). A lilting tillana closed his musical agenda. Sanjeev’s violin presentation with aesthetic grace and elegance was impressive. Ananthakrishnan’s tempered mridangam accompaniment and relevant technique to suit the vocalist’s artistry was enjoyable with a vibrant thani.

Your reviews make me come closer to music and dance . Some of the ones are so engrossing that I really wished I had known earlier about the concert / I wish I hadn’t missed it. Hence I would appeal to Margazhi to upload at least part of the same video’s of the concert described on Youtube. I have made this request several times on face book as well. Hope someone will listen and do the needful
