Dear Rasika, The wonderful thing about Ragas in the Indian Classical music system is that they are unique, and each one of them have something that is typically only associated with them, that which is irreplaceable. It is easy to fool an average listener in a little game of "Identify the raga" in a post-dinner Carnatic music party, and chuckle as he identifies a Sri raga as a Madhyamavati or a Pharas as a Mayamalavagowla..but how many of us self-confessed aficionados of this great system really have a fool-proof method of unambiguously identifying, each time, every time, the raga correctly? I doubt very many of us do, and this includes the smug critic or the know-it-all mama-mami duo next door. Lets face it - there are many factors that go into identifying a raga - the musical intelligence of the person who is playing or singing in the specimen recording, the level of sophistication of the music system, the extent of deafness of the listener or the lack of it, peer pressur

Isai Payanam DVD Vol #4, not #2.
ReplyDeleteNagumomu, Thyagaraja kriti in Abheri ...need correction ?
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Can you please advise on whether the Nagumomu rendition in the Isai Payanam Vol #4 DVD is the exact same recording as appeared on YouTube for Jaya TV? I was thrilled to listen to that piece for a couple of days before it was taken off of YouTube - I believe it was the 2012 Thiruvaiyaru program(?)
ReplyDeleteWhat I am looking for is the same video Jaya TV telecast that was temporarily on YouTube, where you sing Nagumomu. Can you please confirm that the video in the DVD is the exact same one?
Thank you!
Nicely described
