Here goes a rejoicing and rare ocassion of
watching India's 4 proudest contemporary Violinists namely Mysore Nagaraj & Manjunath alongwith Kumaresh and Ganesh who kept the audience in ruptures
all through.
Imagine the audience mood when four of them
performed first time ever, in front of Octogenarian violinist and
melody personified, Dr.M.S.Gopalakrishnan - conferred with 'Nadashri"
Award mooted by Bangalore Gayana Samaja on the occasion.
I have been witnessing these four stalwarts
performing since almost 3 decades, often catching them young. Today each one of
them is a global performer par excellence.Watching them live on such an
occasion reminds me of "Aasthana Sangeetha". Such was the
power, purity and devotion, with each one of them complimenting the other note
to note. All of them were on a roll.
May be, their performance haunts themselves each
night for it's impact and bhava. It was an extrordinarily electric
performance Bangaloreans shall remember always, longing for
more......I compliment organizers, Bangalore Gayana Samaja for creating
such an iconic moment...of course, my heartfelt gratitude to Sri Kumaresh for
having chiselled out a novel idea. Rest is history..!
