It's all incredible but some moments from the manodharma section for students looking to learn some of the details of the magic that happened here: 36:36 - ending of the neraval in a beautiful, wholesome kanakku 39:13 - an elegant abhiprayam to end the slow speed swaram (repeated in tisram at 39:40). Maths is (6x1)+6+(8x2)+6+(10x3) = 64. 41:25 - the types of "1 swara" endings prevalent in these and 41:40 is a karvai ending (no swara at end) 42:06 - excellent saramathi ending RGS/NDM/NDMGS 43:04 - a brilliant 96 count abhiprayam (7+3+7+3+7)+3+(8+3+8+3+8)+3+(9+3+9+3+9) 52:52 - the mother of all korvais within this performance yet with a simple, catchy construction - all in khanda nadai 2 kalai. Poorvanga = 15x3 = 45. Uttaranga = (5+2+5+2+5) + (7+2+7+2+7) + (9+2+9+2+9) = 75. Total counts = 45+75 = 120. This is 1.5 avartanas of a 2 kalai khanda nadai adi talam. Will try to keep adding as I understand more of this.
What a beautiful performance. Abishek body language is very superb. Not only he makes the audience enjoy the cutchery but he himself is enjoying. Pray the Almighty to give this youth vigour and strength to serve the carnatic music world.
Best imagination, construction and presentation of Saramati I've ever heard. Abhishek's Saramati is the "Queen's Gambit" of the Carnatic scene. Dream team - Abhishek, Patri ji, Vitthal ji and Karthick ji.
Heard it umpteen times. Still not satisfied. Brings out the subtle nuances of the raaga. God bless you. May we get to hear more and more from you for many more years.
When Sri Abhishek Raghuram is on the stage, there is a superior power descends on him, and make him sing. See the expressions on his face, and the body language. I have never seen any accompanying artists expressing their appreciation like the one you see in this concert.Another accompanying artist is Thambura Artist Sri.Vaidyanathan, in the song "SARANAGHATHI" I request the Rasikas to see THEMET in New York, and the one with Sri V V Subramanyam Sir, the Violinist.I am reminded of late Sri Madurai Mani Iyer who has performed raga Vistharam like this. May God Bless Abhishek with Very Good MUSICAL LIFE.
Masterly, lively rendition. Fully brings out his involvement and enjoyment. God blessed artist. Listen to his other gems like Seethamma, Mayamma, entharo mahanu, meru sammana, edayagathi…..May God bless Abhishek with so many years of such wonderful renditions…..
కచేరీ యొక్క అందాన్ని వర్ణించడానికి పదాలు చాలా చిన్నవి. అతని అద్భుతమైన గానం ముందు,ముఖ్యంగా అతని ప్రజ్ఞముందు లొంగిపోవడం తప్ప మరేమీ చేయలేని తాదాత్మ్య భావన అది. నిజంగా ఇది శ్రీ అభిషేక్ రఘురామ్ గారి అనన్య సామాన్యమైన సంగీత నైపుణ్య విశ్వరూపమే.ఆ అపర సరస్వతీ మూర్తికి పాదాభివందనం🙏🏽. వఝల శివకుమార్.
What a lovely presentation!! Even for an ignorant rasika like me who doesn’t know much about Carnatic music except identify a few ragas, this is divine music. May God bless Abishek and the accompanying artists.
An unimaginable saramathi raga alapana with fiery and unimaginable kalpanaswarams by Abhishek Raghuram and a fantastic bowing by Vittal Ramamurthy and a fantastic Tani avartanam by both patri Satish Kumar and ghatam Karthik
What an outstanding performance!!! A wholesome music. All the artistes have immersed themselves in the music with a great involvement is indeed a treat to watch. In particular Abhishek being a mridangist himself, no wonder Patri Sathish Kumar is able to strike a fantastic chord of relationship and enjoy the most. I am sure people will listen this song repeatedly many a times. A blessed youngster. We heartily wish him to scale new heights in Carnatic Music.
Just listened to this again. The final khanda nadai koraippu was special. Very unique presentation and completely new ideas in swaram patterns. The acknowledgement of the percussion artists at the end of the final swara is testament to the vidwat of AR. The applause at the end of it was so well deserved! This is a saramathi that will be etched in history as one of the finest ever rendered by a vocalist.
Guess this is how kutcheris must've been in the golden days of carnatic music, when the rasikhas assemble closer to the mahavidhwans and get literally drenched in the gaana mazhai. For a music illiterate like me, Shri Abhishek Raghuram's raaga aalaapana simply brought tears pouring - literally 😂. He's the Madurai Mani Iyer of this generation perhaps...🙏 Carnatic music is truly alive and kicking through the younger generation (the list is getting longer with each passing year), who are enchantingly - and enthusiastically - carrying forward this great cultural tradition of #MeraBharatMahan. 👌🎼🙌
Geniuses at work. Accompanists doing a outstanding job by responding to the intricate patterns woven by the genius Abishek Raghuram. Team work at its best
Abhishek: Pranams to the Goddess Saraswathi, who has come alive in your Saramathi exposition. Hats off to your passion for giving us soulful music! May the Divine Mother bless you!
i feel blessed to have witnessed this masterpiece sitting in front of satish garu...witnessing this awesome team work featuring abhishek's soulful rendition from the left of the screen
A great composition nicely rendered by Abhishek Raghuram. I used to listen to this kriti from Dwaram Venkataswami Naidu. Abhishek's rendering takes me back almost 60 years. Thanks for posting this concert.
One of my favorite Krithi. Thank you very much for taking me an inch closer to the god. Hope god will bless me with MOKSHA.🙏🙏🙏 From my childhood till today at 63 years, this is one Krithi which has always given me lot of peace. Thank you very much for rendering this fantastic krithi so melodiously.🙏🙏🙏
Words are very small to describe the beauty of this concert, except to surrender his magnificent singing. GODDESS SARASWATHI bless him throught his musical journey.
As rightly requested, kindly upload the full concert, he is carrying the legacy forward, great maestro, brilliant, master piece, creative, the piece then goes on to achieve superlative levels of excellence overall, it is divine, the accompaniments Shri Vital Ramamurthi on the violin unquestionable, Shri Patri Satish Kumar on the Mridangam, Shri S Karthick on the ghatam, both of them at their best, finally our fear of carnatic music dying is negated by such vidhvan, our best wishes and may all the Almighty bless all of them, thanks for uploading
Wonderful rendition. He is definitely a very complete musician - possessing excellent voice culture, manodharma, strong laya sense. Equally adept at Raga presentation, rendering the composition and neravals, and fantastic swara singing in multiple nadai. I wish there were violinists of equal stature who could reply to AR's creativity. A Lalgudi reborn would be the perfect accompaniment for this genius.
Vittal Ramamurthy is equally adept and a great sishya of lalagudi Sir. He has seen Abhishek growing as a musician. Vittalji just supports and encourages Abhishek. That's how I take it.
Extremely involved. Great artist born to sing. One is reminded of the genius BMK in his younger days. Abhishek is very innovative in his approach. A child prodigy never ceases to amaze me. God bless Abhishek who is destined for greater heights. He is doing full justice to Lalgudi mama and Raghu mama whose lineage is an influencing factor in his Pedigree. I have not heard Saramati raaga sung this way. Hats off to Abhishek and the coartists for encouraging Abhishek.
I need to dissect and study each neraval and swara line in Abhishek’s rendition - what a colossus of laya and improvisation. A masterclass on how to lead 🙌🏽🙏🏽
Same here. I was fortunate enough to heat the programme live. If you hear the raga alapana whatever he is singing in the kalpana swaram has been hinted in the raga alapana especially the phrase thathakida thakathaka thimjom. Such a wonderful imagination and great presentation.I have heard his Saramathi thrice live and Whenever I hear his Saramathi it is different and special.
It's all incredible but some moments from the manodharma section for students looking to learn some of the details of the magic that happened here:
36:36 - ending of the neraval in a beautiful, wholesome kanakku
39:13 - an elegant abhiprayam to end the slow speed swaram (repeated in tisram at 39:40). Maths is (6x1)+6+(8x2)+6+(10x3) = 64.
41:25 - the types of "1 swara" endings prevalent in these and 41:40 is a karvai ending (no swara at end)
42:06 - excellent saramathi ending RGS/NDM/NDMGS
43:04 - a brilliant 96 count abhiprayam (7+3+7+3+7)+3+(8+3+8+3+8)+3+(9+3+9+3+9)
52:52 - the mother of all korvais within this performance yet with a simple, catchy construction - all in khanda nadai 2 kalai. Poorvanga = 15x3 = 45. Uttaranga = (5+2+5+2+5) + (7+2+7+2+7) + (9+2+9+2+9) = 75. Total counts = 45+75 = 120. This is 1.5 avartanas of a 2 kalai khanda nadai adi talam.

Y uh
Although all Greek to me, nevertheless find the vocalist arresting, immersing and riveting
What a beautiful performance. Abishek body language is very superb. Not only he makes the audience enjoy the cutchery but he himself is enjoying. Pray the Almighty to give this youth vigour and strength to serve the carnatic music world.

Vrile Sarumathi raaga rendition.
Masterpiece. No body can match Abhishek. Best best best rendering of Saramati and mokshamu galada I have heard.
What an artist. Mesmerizing Kalpana, swaraprastaram, control of rhythm, in all splendid performance
This is the best Saramathi I ever heard in my life time. May God bless Abhishek a very long and healthy life to render similar concerts.
Abhishek R is gift to karnatak music lovers from the God/ Goddess of music . let us always pray for his welfare 🙏🙏🙏
Heard it umpteen times. Still not satisfied. Brings out the subtle nuances of the raaga. God bless you. May we get to hear more and more from you for many more years.

Yes Sir. You are 110% correct in pointing out that 'there is a superior power descends on him....' and that power is Devi Saraswati.
Excellent rendetion god bless all who performed this concert
Yes

Best ever rendering of "mokshamu galada"
Words are very small to describe the beauty of this concert, except to surrender his magnificent singing.
GODDESS SARASWATHI bless him throught his musical journey.
Really amazing...I don't know how many times I watched this concert...
What a scintillating sArAmati! There are no words to describe this!
Just stumbled upon this ... beautiful! Thank you all!!

This smthng out of the world
He is someone extraordinary. His manodharma and ragalapana is unpredictable. Genius.Reminds Muraligaru in ragalapana.
Very true and sometimes like madurai somasundaram.
What an insanely advanced performance! Just, wow!
Wonderful rendition. He is definitely a very complete musician - possessing excellent voice culture, manodharma, strong laya sense. Equally adept at Raga presentation, rendering the composition and neravals, and fantastic swara singing in multiple nadai. I wish there were violinists of equal stature who could reply to AR's creativity. A Lalgudi reborn would be the perfect accompaniment for this genius.
And as you would like, Vittal sir on the violin is Lalgudi's disciple haha
Vittal Ramamurthy is equally adept and a great sishya of lalagudi Sir. He has seen Abhishek growing as a musician. Vittalji just supports and encourages Abhishek. That's how I take it.
It makes me to forget the "self". Such a Divinity in his music .
True.
Extremely involved. Great artist born to sing. One is reminded of the genius BMK in his younger days. Abhishek is very innovative in his approach. A child prodigy never ceases to amaze me. God bless Abhishek who is destined for greater heights. He is doing full justice to Lalgudi mama and Raghu mama whose lineage is an influencing factor in his Pedigree.

Genius of future Carnatic Classical music for next generation.
A Devine concert with excellent support.thanks for uploading the video
Just started crying like a baby 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼Nalla irappa 🙌🙌🙌
Junior Balamurali krishna. Great. Heart melting music.
I need to dissect and study each neraval and swara line in Abhishek’s rendition - what a colossus of laya and improvisation. A masterclass on how to lead 🙌🏽🙏🏽

Unheard of aalapana in saramathi! Kudos to the great artiste.
Same here. I was fortunate enough to heat the programme live. If you hear the raga alapana whatever he is singing in the kalpana swaram has been hinted in the raga alapana especially the phrase thathakida thakathaka thimjom.

Alapana very good.
Awesome! The liveliest performers. That Raga alapana in Saaramathi is sheer genius. Hats off to this Master
