Krishna sings for Rama

It was a perfect start for Sri Ramanavami season for me. Couldn't have asked more - Krishna singing for Rama.

It was T M Krishna at Vani Vidya Mandir Sangeeta Mahotsav today.

T M K was in his elements right from the beginning, the start delayed due to inaguration by Chief Minister.

He started with Lekana ninnu in Asaveri, set the tone for what to come. He touched the higher octaves with ease in both alapana and asura swaraprayogam in this.

He followed with Tulsidas Sri Ramachandra Kripalu Bhajman in Neelambari. The neraval in this Krithi was beautiful. Lovely Lathangi alapana after this he sang Apradhamulanniyu took us decades back to remember legend Madurai Mani Iyer. Neraval and Swaraprayogam was good.

Vidwan H K Venkatram in violin challenged him equally during Swarakalpanas.
