This musical genius, Dr M Balamurali Krishna hails from the direct line of disciples of the great Tyagaraja. He has chosen five of his own compositions for this recording. The artiste has sung the kritis, Needaya Rada in Purvikalyani, Vegamay in Abogi and Bruhadeesvara in Kanada. His composition, Omkara Kaarini in raga Lavangi is a rare piece because it has only four swaras. The album ends with a tillana in Behag. Their inherent appeal allows scope for emotional expression and technical virtuosity. |
