The wheel has come full circle
Music mattersWhat is the `ZEN-sation' at The Music Academy? Adding colour to the festivity there, Maruti has displayed two new-look Zen Estilo cars, one in blue and the other in silky silver. The recently launched Estilos just cannot miss your attention as ... LISTENER'S POST SPECIAL RECITALS Respones to the music season from a cross-section of the audience AFTERNOON CONCERTS The poor attendance for the afternoon concerts has been the worry of many for quite a few years now. The solution could be to club these with some lec-dems or quiz programmes. The singer could make a presentation on a theme for about half an hour ... DEDICATED TO MUSIC The Chennai music festival is like our other festivities. We all wait for it eagerly and gear up to attend the various concerts at different venues. The best I have heard so far is that of Aruna Sairam. Her dedication to music is something ... MOBILE ETIQUETTE The Hindu's music tabloid should carry a dos and donts section with respect to mobile phones with a special emphasis on `how to set your mobile in the silent mode'. It can take a welcome initiative, and distribute pamphlets in English and ... SAD TENOR I think Jayashri (at Bharat Kalachar) could have chosen a better raga for RTP than Subapanthuvarali which carries a sad tenor. Her mellifluous voice is her great charm. Her rendition is another plus point. My son and I are great fans of hers. ... UNBELIEVABLE Is she the one who sang the `Gajni' song, `Chuttum Vizhi Chudare'? Unbelievable. This is purely classical which I cannot understand a wee bit. V. Rajagopalan, coffee vendor, Bharat Kalachar. ...
MUSIC ACADEMY Haunting voice, immaculate delivery Sikkil Gurucharan's voice danced around with finesse; Gayathiri Dhevi presented a stirring performance. 
Delightful SarasangiChennai Fine Arts is making its contribution to the music festival — with a tangible difference. Lecture-demonstrations are held on various composers (vaggeyakaras) and on the nuances relating to various instruments (vadhyanubhava), in ... MUSIC ACADEMY The format posed its problems Maharajapuram Srinivasan should have chosen his songs more judiciously. MUSIC ACADEMY Intellectual, interesting experience Charumathi Ramachandran was erudite and fearlessly innovative. BHARAT KALACHAR Accent was on tranquillity Bombay Jayashri's Saveri was like a flowing river, slow but sweet and long but relaxing. A family affair Trichur Ramachandran's Panthuvarali was enchanting, but after that the concert lost is appeal. NUNGAMBAKKAM CULTURAL ACADEMY Moving raga expressions They have the potential but the Mandolin Sisters have a long way to go. INDIAN FINE ARTS SOCIETY Varali comes with all its charm The veena recital of Jeyaraaj Krishnan and Jayasri Jeyaraaj was completely classical. SRI PARTHASARATHY SWAMI SABHA In perfect unison with the sruti The Mambalam Sisters impressed with their diction and bhava. BRAHMA GANA SABHA Supple and soothing G.S. Rajan abstained from shrill notes and extravagant excursions for kalpanaswaras. FROM THE ARCHIVES Krishnan's Tonal Richness T. N. Krishnan's violin solo at the Srinivasa Sastri Hall on Tuesday under the auspices of "Alapana" had distinctive attractiveness for the way he embellished his essentially vocalist approach with the tonal richness and graces of his ... MYLAPORE FINE ARTS CLUB Beautiful raga sketches Krishna's raga excursions were brilliant with the accompanists rising to the occasion. MY FESTIVAL I miss the serious rasika As there were no home recording facilities, one had to wait for ayear to listen to stalwarts. NUNGAMBAKKAM CULTURAL ACADEMY Swinging to the padam It was gentle oscillation as Girish sang padam and javali.
SRI KRISHNA GANA SABHA Refreshing approach Jyotsna simply enjoys herself dancing. And that seems to be her asset. SRI KRISHNA GANA SABHA Blend of classical and folk Padma became the character, never getting out of the korathi's skin. |
