Swaralaya
was inaugurated on October 12th 2001, with Bombay Jayashree`s
convert. She was accompanied by Sri Ramkumar on the violin and
by Arun on mridangam. Dr.Gnana Shanmugam gave a brief inaugural
speech before the concert started. Jayashree opened the concert
with Vallabhanayaka, a composition of Muthuswami Dikshatar in
the raga begada, an auspicious song for an auspicious beginning.
She sang Sankarabaranam elaborately and rendered the Thyagaraga
Krithi 'Enthuda Nilachithi Ve' majestically, with swara elaborations.
Her rendering of Sri Balasubramaniam of Dikshatar in bilahari
and Sakalam Brhmamayam in dharabrrikanada were very melodious
and touched the clouds. A few other thukkadas were presented
which were very good. The concert was marked by sruthi, shitya,
swara and laya suddam. The accompanists gave excellent support.
It was a faultless performance, Although there was a general
feeling that it was a bit short. |
