Musiri Chamber - Divine Nagaswaram Concert of Desur Selvarathinam and party

Usually I do not write the notes on concerts that are webcast live, especially, if it will be available online for a while for everyone to enjoy for themselves. No 3rd party commentary (mine) is required for the rasikas who view such concerts. However, in this case, I would like to bring the outstanding concert to the notice of the rasikas who may miss this one. Here are the simple concert notes, while the rest is available for you to enjoy direct from YouTube.

Kanchi Kamakshi Temple Vidwans Desur Selvarathinam along with his sons Shri Shanmugasundaram (dressed in red) and Shri Sethuraman (sitting on right hand side of Shri Selvarathinam, in white) performed on Sunday morning, 22 December 2019, from 10 AM, along with Vidwan Velliambakkam Palanivel (blue shirt) and Vidwan Pondichery Saravanan (olive green shirt).

Simply put this was a divine concert with amazing shruthi alignment of all 3 Nagaswaram vidwans, very well supported by the Thavil vidwans. In the words of a parama rasika of Carnatic Music, especially Shri Muthuswami Dikshitar kritis, the Musiri house was converted into a temple by their music. In conclusion - don't miss watching /listening to this - if you don't have time, do so in parts. Full stop.
