Saveri Varnam - K S Gopalakrishnan (Flute)

[Raji7800]

Wonderful pure Carnatic music devoid of gimmicks. However the violinist has to learn how to accompany! For that basically he/she should listen more and be heard so much!

great reference!great recording!

Violin is not needed for a flute concert...both are same sounding instruments..In this violin is above flute...

[harilalmn]

The violinist should have been careful not to sound the violin far above the flute.... Now it sounds like a Violin Solo.... Its disturbing....

Nice to hear the flute and artist that I grew up hearing every day as my neighbor!

KSG is a great flautist, and it is a pity he is not known much outside Kerala...and the violinist needs to tone it down a bit, so that the flute is prominent, don't you think?

Transcendental meditative music ... "The silence between the notes...It's the silence between the notes that makes the music" – Zen proverb

It is sad that the violin accompanist doesnt allow flute to be heard once the varnam starts. But the raga alaapanam was awesome.

[deepujs]

its sad that he is not doing concerts to the public.

There was a temple in Ernakulam where KS used to come every year to perform. I nearly missed it this time when I visited Kerala. It makes me nostalgic about it. KS is an amazingly great artist who shuns publicity. Of course my favourite too. Ragas like Revagupti(gopalaka pahimam) have a rare appeal when KS plays it
