Yes. I have such a deep place in my heart for Indian music and the world it opened up for me. I had never heard any music from India until I heard MSS in or at Wesleyan. I fell in love with her Karaharapriva alapana and Bhavayami ragamalika. I was hooked. Absolutely hooked. Several years later, in or I was sitting in a coffee house in Lenox, Massachusetts where the Boston Symphony Orchestra musicians and the young musicians who come to study with them in the summer often frequented. So there was Leonard Bernstein, the famous conductor and composer, just two tables away, holding court with his young proteges, regaling them with stories about Mahler, no doubt. He saw that I was starring at him, but my other eye was on the mandolin hanging on the wall. I asked the proprietor if I could play it, and he said fine, and then I slowed tuned it up like to my sruti, 1/2, sa pa sa. Now Lenny was getting very interested. Fortunately at this coffee house, they had beverages stronger than mocha, which helped me get up my nerve. I approached the maestro and asked him if I could sing him some Indian music. He said, "Indian music, I INVENTED Indian music." What an ego! (
Description
This documentary is a fine tribute to the late Ramanathapuram Krishnan, an artiste whose life was full of music and whose music was full of life. It faithfully and reverentially captures the man and his music with their myriad dimensions. His personal and penchant for music, his virtuosity and the vicissitudes of his life, his aspirations and approach to music have been documented in an arresting and authentic manner. Even after 3 Decades, Ramanathapuram Krishnan music is modern and inspiring to the budding artists. The film has a sprinkling of interviews with his acolytes, associates, kinsmen and some illustrious artistes- both his contemporaries and the current crop of musicians and is backed by intensive research.
A melange of tastefully shot visuals, silhouettes for suggestive representation of the subject, custom-made paintings for re-creating events in the maestro life, deft use of his recordings and limpid narration make this film a great aesthetic experience- for both the fans of Ramanathapuram Krishnan and lovers of documentaries.
