PRELUDE THAT HAUNTS VIEWERS & LISTENERS NO END

PRELUDE THAT HAUNTS CONNOISSEURS



This is a benchmark prelude song penned by renowned Kannada poet
H S Venkateshmurthy set to a beautiful tune by our own pride, composer Praveen D Rao, very mellifluously rendered by Talented singer Vijayaprakash for ace Director T N Seetharam’s fresh endeavor ‘Magalu Janaki’.
Prodigal talent, versatile singer and flutist Varijashree Venugopal too has lent her vocals for the same song in her mellifluous voice
An epic serial or a magnum opus ought to have all winnable contributions else the plot falls flat. The discerning must note, each composition is unique in its own way, not to compare or  judge merits and demerits of the song with our Masterly Legends, be it,  C Aswath, Mysore Anathaswamy or H K Narayana, albeit there's an absolute fragrance of freshness.
Each one of them were as unique and exemplary as contemporary musicians, singers and composers alike. Just imagine how techno excellence comes to our rescue in today’s context, to set any faulty, flat or ‘Besura’ renditions right there, point blank, prior to mastering the track.
It’s here, true character of composer or the singer shall be put on acid test to come out trumps. Praveen D Rao not only brings forth the memory of C Aswath’s Legend in the wonderful composition, so also Vijayaprakash who puts gamut of prerequisite emotions in his baritone belts a soulful & most talked about robust song of the decade, in contemporary context, in my opinion as a true blue connoisseur. VP has virtually lived through the song exactly as per the aspirations of poet himself.
None can discredit as this is perhaps the best ever song composed for a tele-serial in recent times without an iota of doubt. I shouldn't be mistaken would I hasten to add, 'MAGALU JANAKI' song is the best prelude song of all that were composed for early endeavors of TNS.
My heartiest congratulations to the entire team😀
