Recently there has been a lot of discussion on Lalgudi Jayaraman on this net. I am a big fan of Lalgudi's and have many concert recordings of his.However of late,in his concerts there are some signs of apaswaram and there has been some talk that he has been suffering from a mild arthritis for some time now.
However I must add here that this hasnt taken anything away from the standard of his concerts,but for the rare lapses.As someone pointed out,I too heard that he is giving quite a few vocal concerts these days.
Anyway let me come to the main point of this post-his compositions.Besides the numerous thillanas that he composed that have become so popular now(for ex.
Mohana Kalyani,Sindhubhairavi,Brindavana Saranga)I recently heard a concert by Maharajapuram Santhanam in which he has sung a most beautiful varnam in Charukesi-I havent heard such a beautiful varnam in a long time and I was told that its composer was Lalgudi Jayaraman.I do not remember the Pallavi but the charanam goes as follows:-
Kuzhal Oodhum Azhaga Kanna Kurai theerayo
The varnam just "puzhinji yedukka"fied(for those who dont know Tamil this means "squeeze the juice out of")the rasa in Charukesi and Santhanam's renderingjust left me nonplussed.Are there more varnams by Lalgudi Jayaraman out there?
I have heard the cassette of thillanas that he released but I havent heard any
cassettes of his other compositions.Do any exist?Could some kindly net soul post a list of his compositions?
