Summary:
Another bhava-rich kriti of Tyagaraja, ‘Nannuvitachi’ in Reethigowla, wherein the composer prays to Rama, was also presented in the same wavelength. Opening with Balamuralikrishna’s rare but melodious varnam ‘Omkara Pranava’ in Shanmugapriya, the duo proceeded to another rare kriti ‘Namami Vigna Vinayaka’ of Krishnaswamy Ayya in Hamsadhwani, which had interesting swaraprastharas. Taking up Vasantha as the main raga, they scaled new peaks, in their elaborate description of this melody. Gifted with sweet voices, the Trichur Brothers, Sri Krishna Mohan and Ramkumar Mohan, held their audience in Palakkad spellbound with their application of vocal dynamics and flourish in presentation. The swaroopa of the raga emanated in entirety, in their vivid portrayal and in the masterly prayogas in the thaanam..
