Playing as part of Sri Krishna Gana Sabha’s Gokulashtami series, Sriram Kumar provided gentle images of Carnatic music, seeped in grace, elegance and the sublime. The environment he created was a haven of peace. Adherence to values was the building block of his grace in lifting the quality of presentation. The Mayamalavagowla kriti ‘Meru Samana’ was arresting in its artistic format and was a smooth blend of his art with his performing experience. The song rendered with great feeling, heightened the impact of Sri Tyagaraja’s composition.
