Sri Balasubramanian gave a concert in a very faithful fashion to his school of music. To say it was very enjoyable, isnt enough. There is something more, once cant express.
The concert began with a nice short sketch of sAvEri and the varNam. The rudrapriyA piece was rendered well with a nice set of svarams completely portraying the rAga bhAvam. Then nIlambarI piece was rendered with a lot of bhavam and was a moving rendition. The phalamanjari piece was rendered very well.
The first elaboration of the evening was a beautiful suruTTi. Sri Balasubramanian began with a punch in exposing the rAgam with no ambiguity. And the elaboration was done very well with a rare kriti to follow. The svarams were good and showcased the ragabhavam. The Anandabhairavi kriti was rendered well.
The pUrvikalyANi AlApanai was very differently structured from what one gets to hear in a normal concert. It was very beautiful elaboration with the kriti to follow. The kriti was rendered without the percussive sangatis and aggressive brigas. The neraval and svarams at 'madurA puri nilayE maNivalayE' were good.
The rAgamAlikA viruttam was very good and the Thiruppugazh, which one usually gets to hear in hamsanandi was rendered in hindOLam in catusra nADai. The gauLipantu padam was just amazingly rendered. The bEhAg and sindhubhairavi jAvaLis were rendered showcasing all the classicism that are hidden in the rAgams and are not usually hearable in a concert, where these ragams are picked up to sing a popular, light, plain tukkaDa. khamAs jAvaLi was good also.
Sri Gopinath was good in all over the concert. He was very accomodative of the style of the vocalist and proved very good support in all parts. Sri David Nelson on the mrudangam was very anticipatory. His non aggressive style of playing for the gamakka filled music, was very embellishing. The sensible usage of thoppi wherever needed, a speciality of his school, was very nice. Overall the concert did leave an impact in one's mind.
