Sri Ranganathasarma’s elaborate exposition of the each and every part of the kriti as well as the Raga Bhageshwari in a beautiful and a masterly way ,puts him top of the signers I happened to listen, who have rendered the same , number of times.Sarma totally justified his selection of the greatest devotional composition of Sri MDRamanthan ; Really its a ful fledged rendition.
Dr Sharma excelled once again. The violin is great. Dr Babu is simply at his best. I wish all the artistes all the best and pranams to all. MDR's memory is revoked the most appropriate way -- a surrender to perfection beginning with the sweet and brilliant alapanam. Narayanakurup Kanthikumar/Post Falls/Idaho/USA / 11/20/16
(kshIra) sagara shayana vibho prabho.... MDR's famous kriti in Bageshri ragam, originally a Hindustani classical ragam which was said to have been first sung by Mian Tansen, the celebrated court singer of the Emperor Akbar in the 16 th Century ! By 20th Century Bageshri was found popularity in Carnatic Music form. Here the vocalist Ranganatha Sharma's rendition with the requisite devotion is excellent in deed! But he skipped the Chittasvorams which rightly adds value to the kriti. Now a days vocalists think that they have the preemptive right to ignore Chittiasvorams!..what ever be the reasons.,say lack of time or even their appetite! Are they not aware that the great composers have penned their keerthanas with their prerogative to praise the deities mentioned in it and those who use the same for any recitals have a moral obligation to ritually follow the composer's doctrines? The ragam Bageshjri was used by Music Director-Ramchandra Narhar Chitalkar, known as Just C..Ramachandra initially in Hindi films......for example the popular song-'Radha na bole' - in Film-'Azad'/of 1955. In a 1978 interview at BBC studios with Mahendra Kaul (a Kashiri Pandit, famous Radio Presenter with Radio Kashmir , then with VoA in US and later on at BBC), he ascribed the reason to Bageshri's simplicity.! Ramachandra similarly provided a memorable musical score accompanying a competition between two dancers whose roles were played by Padmini and Vyjayanthimala for the song Kannum Kannum Kalanthu lyrics penned by Kothamangalam Subbu, sung by P. Leela and Jikki in the Tamil movie Vanjikottai Valiban (1958). He remade the song in Hindi as "Aaja Tu Aaja" from Raj Tilak (1958) written by P. L. Santoshi where Asha Bhosle and Sudha Malhotra rendered their voice.
Where are the chittaswarams?I could not listen either in SriMDR’ s or Sri KVN’s rendition’ of the sagarasayana kriti , who had popularised the same and so many Vidvans rendered the without any chittaswarams.
Sir I am big fan of yours .....namaskaram

Heart touching krithi by Ranganatha Sharma sir......
