Vid. Bellary M. Raghavendra performed for Sri Nadabrahma Sangeetha Sabha at its premises (Mysore Vasudevacharya Bhavana) on JLB Road in city on Feb. 24. He was accompanied on violin by Vid. Aniruddha Bharadwaj, on mridanga by Vid. A. Radhesh and on morching by Vid. Y.P. Vikram Bharadwaj.
The concert was marked for perfect shruti alignment, crystal clear sahitya, a rich, vibrant and resonating masculine voice that produces perfect pitching and tunefulness, breath control, expressiveness, bhava and tristhayi sancharas. The concert was appealing right from the varna ‘Vanajakshi’ (Pallavi Gopala Iyer) in Kalyani set to Khanda Jati Atta Tala. The vocalist rendered two rare compositions of his uncle Sheshagiri Achar - ‘Omkara Swaroopa Sri Gajavadana’ in Hindola and ‘Sri Purandara Gurum Vande’ in an unheard raga Hradini. A janya of 64th melakarta Vachaspati.
