Raga Kaapi - Aalap and Thanam

@ThePeninsulaStudios

One can sense the synergy between the Veena and Piano in conversation, developing one of the most beautiful ragas which is common to both Hindustani and Carnatic classical music. Its a raga filled with a lot of compassion. The strings of the Piano and the strings of the Veena draw the sketch of the typical phrases of this raga, thereby setting a mood for one of the great masterpieces by Saint Thyagaraja which is to follow. Both the raga aalap (melodic improvisation) and the Thanam (melo-rhythmic improvisation) are extempore and they create an ambience that is esoteric. Dr. Jayanthi's Music is a true blend of the traditional and the innovative in terms of content, technique, virtuosity and expression. Poise and grace in presentation and soulfulness in rendition are the signatures of her style.
