The lower Madhya sthayi sancharas, which form the core of a raga alapana for Ranjani, were wound up within a couple of minutes and the foray to the Tara Shadjam made way for briga sangatis …

Vivek Sadasivam displayed fine aptitude in raga sancharas

The Hindu  

Vivek Sadasivam deserves compliments for his confident approach to manodharma in raga alapana and in the display of swarakalpana. While his Thodi alapana was full of grace, his swara phrases for the Kannada raga kriti with variations in nadai had zest and speed. After a brief sketch of Kannada raga, he took up Muthuswami Dikshitar's rarely heard creation 'Palayamam parvatheesa'. …

Ramakrishnan Murthy turns Bilahari exposition enjoyable

The Hindu  

When Ramakrishnan Murthy performed at a concert organised by ARTery in remembrance of legendary violinist T.N. Shriram Kumar’s raga alapana included more aesthetics and went towards the ‘rakti’ components more strikingly. With three charanams and even an uncharacteristic double-speed suffix in the Dikshitar style, ‘Dorakuna ituvanti seva’ was indeed a magnum opus. The niraval at ‘Kamita paladayakiyow seetha kantuni’ was …

The pallavi, ‘Va vennilave mannil va theynthidaamal deepamaaga olira,’ was set to an intricate Chatusrajathi Triputa talam — the Poorvaanga in …
