Sada Sharanam a tribute to the guru and composer,
Shri Ravikiran, aims to encapsulate some of the scintillating pieces of
the master composer through a set of instructional DVDs where the student
gets the benefit of learning various genres of compositions from the maestro
himself. This is apart from learning the background/inspiration behind the
compositions along with insights about the musical and mathematical nuances
intended by the composer. The product includes tana varnams, pada varnams,
krtis and tillanas in entertaining and popular ragas as well as evocative
rakti ragas. Unmai Unarndor, a ragamalika composition and a thought provoking
social critique, enhances the colour of the presentation.
Ravikiran, hailed as an unprecedented phenomenon when he made his debut
at the age of two (in 1969) with an uncanny ability to identify and demonstrate
325 ragas and 175 talas and answer numerous other technical questions posed
by several stalwarts, gave his first vocal concert at five and first chitravina
recital at the age of 12 and is today, one of the most sought after artistes
in the world. The substance and quality of Ravikirans contribution in the
versatile roles of chitravina virtuoso, composer, vocalist, guru and author
are held in the highest regard across the world. He attributes all his success
to his gurus Chitravina Narasimhan and Sangita Kalanidhi T Brinda.
