After the concert at Brahma Gana Sabha, Shri.SRIRAM GANGADHARAN, followed suit in the next concerts at Narada Gana Sabha, Valayapatti Nadhalaya, Parthasarathy Swami Sabha, Music Academy Madras and the same evening at Panchamuga Anjaneya Festival. These concerts deserve special mention.
I would like to draw attention to the numerous rasikas who listen and appreciate to the greatness of Carnatic Music. Listening to SRIRAM GANGADHARAN will leave many on a greater note of absolute ecstasy!!!
At Naradha Gana Sabha: The audience were awestruck by the brilliant rendering of RTP in Shanmukapriya, the soft handling of Saveri, or the vibrant Kalyani with the excellent support of Akkarai Subbulakshmi on the Violin, Sri. J.Vaidhyanathan on the mridangam, Bangalore Sri.Purushothaman on the Ghatam left many wondering on the MANODHARMA which were very superior !!!!
If it was RTP in Shanmukapriya in Narada Gana Sabha, it was the great rendering of Karaharapriya in Parthasarathy Swamy Sabha... One could close his eyes and still listen to the subtle rendering of a rare ragam called SRUTHIRANJANI where Shri. SRIRAM outshone by the IMPECCABLE alapana rendering, followed by the krithi EDARI SENCHARINTURA as an authentication of his repertoire, thereafter the neatly packed swarams are to be commended a lot. As an avid listener, I would like to recall his Karaharapriya in Kapali Fine Arts, about a couple of years back with the able support by Violinist. Shri.Sathish Kumar... The difference that Shri. SRIRAM GANGADHARAN made at Parthasarathy Swamy Sabha with the same supported violinist was something extraordinary!!!
What was in store at Music Academy was something very different: RTP in Thodi. It is said that Raagam Thodi is like an ocean and this is where the artistes are tested especially during the Season.. Shri.SRIRAM GANGADHARAN's delivery of RTP in Thodi not only resembled the Prince Charming of music GNB, (whom I believe is alive still with the kind of reverence and respect he demands even many decades after his death) but also showcased Shri.SRIRAM's skillsets and creativity. By and large, many would agree with me that this man who has come by virtue of sheer hardwork deserves a special slot in the Music Academy Madras by way of his innate quality in him. There were no repetitions, it was a class act by a humble and quality musician.
We eagerly await his next concerts at this season.
Let us conclude by saying: CREATIVITY THY NAME IS SRIRAM GANGADHARAN.
