| Video Discription | This rendition is an excerpt from the Academy of Music festival held at Chowdaiah memorial hall, Bangalore in the year 1982. The concert was also being telecasted then via a CC TV for all those who could not get a place inside the hall and I think, this was the first time that I saw a CC TV arrangement in Bangalore for Balamuralikrishna’s concert. Together with a friend, I was sitting in the side wings with the camera crew. We were rendering service as volunteers and were assigned the task of preparing the title cards (Details such as, Name of the Rāga, Composer, Tala.. ) with crayons and a black slate for the telecast and we were thoroughly enjoying every minute of the work that was assigned to us. Sri. T G Thyagarajan was playing the violin and Sri. Vellore Ramabhadran and Sri. H P Ramachar were playing Mridangam and Khanjira respectively. This piece in Rishabhapriya came up in the second half of the concert. When BMK commenced the Rāga Alāpana, we could not get the Rāga immediately to facilitate displaying the same for the CC TV. We were both anxious and felt that we had failed in our assigned task. My brother noticed our state of being and came to our rescue and then we proudly wrote the name of the Rāga in big letters, as if we invented it. This was the first time that I listened to this captivating Rāga – Rishabhapriya and liked it immensely in its first appearance itself. As we recovered and again started enjoying the rendition, sitting a few meters away from the stage, in the side wing, we witnessed something which I can never forget. As Balamuralikrishna was singing the line “murajā rava sammodam” (the one who is enchanted by the rhythmic sound patterns of tambourine), he observed a second Khajira (kept as a stand by) just behind him (on his right side), near Sri H P Ramachar and spontaneously reached for it and took it. He played the Khanjira for a couple of cycles while he sang. Witnessing the rare event, our excitement transcended the limits and we have been speaking about this event for many years. Whenever I listen to this rendition, the vivid picture of BMK playing Khanjira stands in front of me and I feel so blessed to have witnessed this rare event. While I was looking for a song requested from this concert, I chanced upon to listen Rishabhapriya again and thought of sharing with all of you. Enjoy listening to it and do share your reflections. |
