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.
The third piece set to Kharaharapriya is set to Misra Chapu talam. ‘Navasiddhi Petralum’ compares an accomplished man without faith to the husk surrounding a grain - an absolutely useless residue that is thrown away. Composed by Neelakanta Sivan (1839-1900), Ranjani and Gayatri structure this kriti around a magnificent scheme of tunes and rhythm.
