Raga Chandrakauns
Renowned for the lyrical luminosity and purity with which they continue to present Carnatic music to audiences around the world, Ranjani and Gayatri’s performance from this Darbar festival 2015 video is a firecracker that will be remembered for years. As siblings who embarked on their musical journeys hand-in-hand, they are blessed with an extraordinary timbre and an infectious personality on stage.
HN Bhaskar’s support on the violin is ripe with patient refrains, varied melodic improvisations and a strong sense of rhythm.
Sai Giridhar (mridangam) and Giridhar Udupa (ghatam) interlace the melody with a meticulously woven rhythmic support that calibrates mindfully to the music in delicate and robust crests and troughs.
The sisters end their recital with a resounding abhang set to Raga Chandrakauns in an extraordinary trade of energies between themselves and their accompanists on stage.
