Another KVN masterpiece
With extensive discussions on KVN music, I would like to add this song too in the discussion. In my music directory, file titled
KVN Bageshree
Sagara Sayana vibho, in raga Bageshree, sung in a relaxed, trademark KVN style with a lot of sowkhyam.
The other interesting thing about this song is that it was composed by MD Ramanathan. It is said that MDR never listened to Hindustani music, and as principal of Kalakshetra he also used to remark, "Oru Sankarabharanam, Todi pola varuma". And then he went and listened to a Hindustani concert by Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, who sang a elaborate thumri in Bageshri, and MDR was so moved, that went back and composed a song in the same raga.
Very nice song! Enjoy!
