Sowmya displays her musical acumen through her intelligent choices

The Hindu  

The nuances of nishadam in Surutti make it a rather tricky note to navigate. Senior vocalist S.Sowmya’s Surutti alapana interwove choice phrases of almost every kriti in the raga, as she explored the rishabam to nishadam portion in the madhya sthayi before focussing her creativity around the upper nishadam. If one closely observed Sowmya’s Natabhairavi alapana, certain phrases from ‘Sri …

After almost 16 months, it felt nice to sit in an auditorium and listen to a kutcheri. Vidya Kalyanaraman’s concert at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan’s Navaratri music festival brought alive the delightful experience that a live performance can be. Even though Kalyani raga and Pallavi Gopala Iyer’s ‘Needu charana pankajamule’ were technically the centrepiece, a refreshingly rendered Kedaragowla alapana followed by …
