sindubhairavi is indeed a very beautiful rAgam. When I was a little boy that cared little for music, I remember being stunned by madurai maNI's brilliantly original swaram in sindubhairavi - sa ga ma pa da pa pa; sa ga ma nI nI da da; sa ga ma pa da pa~ ma ga ri sa ri ga~ ga. Yesterday's manamE post was not about originality. It was just a beautiful composition in a beautiful rAgam rendered in a beautifully relaxed tempo. In that concert, MDR followed the slow manamE with a catchy, superfast, self-composed tillAnA in the same rAgam. MDR's music is often not associated with speed, but that is one of the many misconceptions about MDR. Here, with pAlakkAD maNi's brisk, but measured, rolls to keep him company, MDR chooses a quicker tempo and we have a wonderful tillAnA to savour.
