5th December, Margazhi Maha Utsavam
I looked forward to Sowmya for her intelligent approach and crisp essaying of ragas. I was happy on both counts. And the bonus was the earlier kutcheri by V. Shankaranarayanan, who has a soothing voice and clear diction. Nagai sriram excelled in giving support(violin).
Sowmya shared interesting information about 'Swathi Thirunaal'- he has composed in many languages and many genres like varnam, padam, jaavali and thillana besides kritis. Sowmya, together with Embar Kannan, Neyveli Narayanan and Gopalakrishnan presented an enjoyable aural treat.
During the season, the people, the so called 'rasikas' also present an interesting picture. I like watching the different types- those who come because it is 'in', others who come to listen and enjoy and still others who take notes (perhaps teachers?). Then there are 'regulars, who greet each other, discuss about the artist's performance in another sabha and throw some musical jargon for good measure in their conversation. for most of them, kutcheris are great outings where they can show off their finery.
