Review



Carnatic-Vocal

Price: Rs 40
A mellifluous voice, perfect with sruthi alignment and clear diction. These are the hallmarks of Geetha Raja's audio cassette for Kalavardhani. The entire 60 mtrs is kriti oriented, there being jus one item for elaboration - Sharavana Bhava of Papanasam Swan in Shanmugapriya Geetha Raja has sung a sedate alapana with no frills whatsoever. Neravel taken up at the Pallavi itself Is chaste and swaras are just the usual. The tape begins with Varada narada in Vijayashree - a kriti well chosen to set the tempo. "Nee Bhajana Gana' which follows is a shade mechanical, perhaps because in a raga like nayaki a slow tempo is required to bring out the bhava.The 2nd side is entirely devoted to kritis. The song 'Veena Pustaka' in vegavahini is a typical Dikshitar piece and Geetha has handled it well. "Alagithe" - Kshetrayya's paddam in useni which comes next is a real treat tot he connoisseur since the vocalist's fluid voice is able to interpret the sancharas beautifully.The other lighter pieces are attractive, "jaya jaya deva" - an ashtapati in Hindolam is prefaced by a good Visutham. In this Hinodolum piece, the vocalist gives many light touches which please, thanks to her malleable voice.The evergreen favourite - Krishna nee Begane, a Devarnama in Valaji and a Kavadi Chindu complete this pleasing cassette.In her accompanists, Geetha Raja has had excellent material, Vittal Ramamurthy (violin_ has followed like a shadow. His Shanmugapriya is exquisite.It doesn't long to identify champion material - the thani is testimony to that of Vaidyanathan (mridangam) with his musical beats provides great sukham even in the midst of rhythmic patterns and Adambakkam Shankar (ghatam) is up to all that the mridangam has challenged him with.On the whole, this cassette makes for a soothing session.
