Guest guest Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 GURU VANDANA BY MAESTRO In the Karnatack vocal concert held on 27th last at Nada Mantapa, Nadanidhi Dr. M. Balamurali Krishna preferred to sing mostly the compositions of Sri Ganapati Sachchidanandaswamiji. He also sang two new ragas specially composed for the Swamiji's birthday that is `Ganapati' (Gan Gan Ganapati) and `Anandam' (Sachchidananda Mangala murtin). Among the great composers he chose for rendition Thyagaraja's `Samajavaragamara' (Hindolan) which was quite appropriated for the occasion. He concluded the two hours recital with Swamiji's composition `Shiva Dayite (Reetihovla) which evoked instant response from the devotees. Age has not mellowed his rich, deep and timely timered voice. His open, full kroted voice took in rich hues and subtle shades as it intermingled pleasantly with the violin and mridangam by Datta Peetha Astana Vidwans M. Nagaraj and Dr. Yella Venakateshwara Rao respectively. The Tanivartanam between Dr. Rao and Dr. Karthik (ghatam) was very delightful. In short the concert was a really treat to the ears and eyes of the devotees. Accompanied by Dr. Yella Venkateshwara Rao on Mridangam, Vidwan Mysore M. Nagaraj on Violin, Dr. Karthick on Ghatam and Sri. Veera Raghavan on vocal support. Halfway during the concert, Pujya Sri Swamiji went on to the stage and sat on the musicians platform for the rest of the musical treat.
