Sowmya: Lack Lustre

Sowmya's Bilahari was passable despite the repetitive sancharams. A lack lustre Kalgada (Parvati) followed. Dwijawanthi (Akhilandeswari) was rendered well. Next to follow was Gangeyabhushani (Evvare Ramayya) Sriramkumar's version was more filled with more bhava.

Kalyani (Ini elam) was the immidiately followed up with Sankarabharanam (Sarojadala Netri). What a waste of experience. This makes me wonder how she's got a slot for herself in the music season. Is it because there's no other female singer to displace her ? Hey ! You young female vocalist(s) here's your golden chance to get a slot. The lesser I talk about her version of Sankarabharanam the better it is.

At the end of this piece it felt as if Sowmya was providing the vocal support to a violin recital. I better conclude.
