A Day for Two Maestros
Yesterday was beautiful for many reasons, and one was an opportunity for viewing the Malayalam film ‘Nizhalkuthu’ (Shadow Kill-2002) by Adoor Gopalakrishnan, for a second time. The film, a profound statement in Cinema on capital punishment, is a masterly work. After a fruitful day at workplace, I came home and wanted to fill the rest of the evening with any maestro’s voice in order to give the day its logical culmination. Many names were in mind and I have decided to take out Voleti Venkateswarulu’s vocal music (Carnatic style). As a devoted music listener and a dear friend friend, Mr. Kulkarni, wrote on Voleti, his music is like “‘a nightingale hidden among the branches of the tree, proclaiming that all is well with world – by singing for himself.’ (bolg: rasayanakarnatic.wordpress.com).
