Gayathri Venkataraghavan’s recent concert at RR Sabha was a celebration of her aesthetic sensibilities and technical prowess. She delved deep into two ragas, Gamakakriya (Purvi Kalyani) and Gowri Manohari, showcasing her remarkable balance and creative flair. Her rendition of Muthuswami Dikshitar’s ‘Ekamranatham bhajeham’ in Gamakakriya was impressive, with a beautiful niraval and kalpanaswaras. The highpoint of her performance was the RTP in Gowri Manohari, where she displayed her understanding of rhythm and explored diverse nadais and speeds. Accompanied by talented musicians, Gayathri’s concert was a lovely showcase of both tradition and creativity.
