Learn more about the music:
The sisters perform six pieces beginning with a kriti composed by Saint Purandara Dasa (1484-1564), the devotional singer, composer, philosopher and devotee of Lord Krishna. ‘Jaya Jaya Janaki Kantha’ is set to Raag Nattai and the hymn praises Lord Vishnu’s human avatar Rama. Pegging short tonal sentences (swarakalpanas) around the composition, the duo gives a lively start to their performance.
The second composition set to Raga Arabhi, was written and composed by Saint Thyagaraja (1767-1847). Ranjani takes the lead to introduce the alapana in crisp and steady rapid notes accentuated by oscillations. Each note is welded to the other in smooth switch-overs as they flow and ebb in a series of synchronised, rhythmless melodic tides. ‘Nada Sudha Rasam Bhilanu’ gives a stunning metaphor of Rama as a personification of the supreme, divine medium of music.
The third piece set to Kharaharapriya is set to Misra Chapu talam. ‘Navasiddhi Petralum’ compares an accomplished man without faith to the husk surrounding a grain - an absolutely useless residue that is thrown away. Composed by Neelakanta Sivan (1839-1900), Ranjani and Gayatri structure this kriti around a magnificent scheme of tunes and rhythm.
Thereafter, they pivot to the ragam tanam pallavi in Shubhapanthuvarali. A detailed alapana followed by tanam preludes the pallavi. The sisters explore the raga extensively and perform the pallavi set to Chatusra Jati Triputa talam in 16 beats. An engaging ragamalika ensues followed by a percussion duet that lends exponential beauty to this performance.
The next piece, a Tamil ‘viruttham’ (sanskrit hymn with no rhythmic accompaniment) set to Raga Sindhu Bhairavi flows seamlessly into a composition in praise of the duality of Lord Shiva by Maha Vaidyanatha Iyer (1844-1893).
The sisters end their recital with a resounding abhang set to Raga Chandrakauns in an extraordinary trade of energies between themselves and their accompanists on stage.

I have never in my life have heard such good musics, its a blessing to hear such blissful music . Ranjani and Gayatri are the best carnatic voclaist, we must consider them for Bharatha Ratna award . I hope Darbar festival releases more of Ranjani and Gayatri. RaGa for life. Darbar has improved a lot over the years too.
I thought of buying the darbar player subscription , but its extremly costly for an individual like me. Its heartbreaking to know how expensive it has become inorder to hear good Indian classical music being an Indian myself. I am extremly saddened by my situation of being unable to buy Darbar player. I hape my wishes come true.
@itachiincoming6751 , global travel is to serve music to hungry people around working communities to give them more spiritual space for them to stay in the west out of india for a needed life or money. They will pull in more music teachers to get their word around, which is more I telligent than accolades and awards for them to show case
Atlast the full version is here ❤
I close my eyes and I am transported to a land of peace and tranquility as I listen to universal language that touches my soul.
