Superb Sankarabharanam
Rajeswari Satish sang a superb Sankarabharanam alapana for Tyagaraja’s ‘Endukupeddala vale buddieeyavu’ with well executed neraval and swaras at ‘Vedasastratatvarthamutelisi’. Rajeswari has a soft and malleable voice. Her selection of songs was praiseworthy. She showed fine diction while singing ‘Sadachaleswaram’. After a comprehensive alapana in Pantuvarali she sang Mysore Vasudevachar’s ‘ShankariNinne’. The neraval and swarams at ‘PankajakshiNeedu Mahima’ were classy. The sparkling swaras at ‘Manamohanananda’ in Tyagaraja’s ‘KanuluTakani’ met with right answers from the versatile Jayalakshmi.
