Harikumar Sivan | Malayamarutam | 7 String Violin

#carnatic #violin #indianclassicalinstrumental

S. Hari Kumar Sivan makes an impressive choice of this Patnam Subramania Iyer kriti, ‘Dhanyadevudo’ in Raag Malayamarutham and peppers it with the versatility of his 7-stringed violin. It is set to Adi talam and has a distinctive lilt to it. He gives a commendable performance of this masterpiece of a composition as the opening piece to his recital at the Darbar festival 2007.

Accompanying him on the mridangam is Neyveli Venkatesh and on the ghatam is RN Prakash. They give a pleasing support to Sivan with laudable wholesomeness, enhancing the recital with an energetic flow.
