Why do we not move the discussion on BMK to this one and let the other thread discuss concerts in UK?

To kick it off :

I have heard Sundari Nee Divya roopamu - Kalyani - Thyagaraja sung by BMK and I am yet to listen to a better rendition. Of course, in the same album ( Krithis in Kalyani raga ) he has two of his own compositions plus the Adi tala varnam. He has taken a few - :-) - liberties with the varnam and, in his inimitable fashion, many more liberties with Kalyani - the ragam.

All said and done, I feel that his music is overpowering, in more ways than one.

All yours.

The raga Chintamani, like many other ragas, has sevaral scales- one each in 7,26,51,52,56 and 59. I think that is where the problem lies. It seems to me that I had posted the scales of Chintamani earlier on some thread. IR might remember where.

I had written : "it was whether to place vasanta under sooryakantam ( as is the practice now, with chatusruti dhaivata ) or under mayamalavagowlam ( with suddha shaivatam )".

It seems this was because some manuscripts in the Dikshitar family had listed both Vasanta and lalita under mela 15. Even the red book of Sundaram Iyer ( towards its end ) classifies both under mela 15.

Lakshman, do u have any other song ( apart from Devibrova ) in Chintamani in ur lists ?

PPN :

I have heard a kriti Paripoornamayee in the raga Sunadavinodini ( I think it is composed by NS Chidambaram ). I have also heard Dr N Ramani's tillana. I think there would be other contemporary compositions in this raga too.
