Attended Carnatic Veena Concert by Rajhesh Vaidhya (veena) accompanied by Mohanaraman & Sriganesh (mridangam), Paramasivan (kanjira) and Subramanian (ghatam) as part of Swara Raga Sudha in Abu Dhabi on 2nd May 2013 with Jayant.
This was the first time to see/hear live veena. Rajeshji uses electric and amplified strings, plays with lightning speed and enjoys playing. He changed horizontal angle of veena to get different sound.
All purcussionists played excellent solo pieces. I felt one mridangam was bit too loud.
The ensamble played a number of western/fusion/light music compositions in 2nd half followed by medley and ended with a fantastic creshendo.
A very satisfying mehfil.
