            Connoisseur's delight 







             

            Tallapakkam Annamacharya (1408-1503) (?) was the earliest composers 
of Telugu kirtanas and also the trendsetter of the Bhajana Paddhati. He was the 
first ever composer to divide his' into Pallavi (refrain) and charanams 
(Stansas). He composed a phenomenal number of 32,000 songs, out of which 14,000 
are available. They were all engraved in copper plates, and stored in a small 
room within the temple premises of Lord Venkateswara at Tirumalai. 

            His compositions have been basically classified as Aadhyatma 
Sankeertanam (spiritual compositions) and Sringara Sankeertanams (erotic 
compositions). 

            This CD album of four discs gives an introduction to Annamacharya, 
the Rituals and Festivals at Tirumala, Sringara Sankeertanams and Sanskrit 
compositions with scholarly insights into the life, music and devotion of 
Annamacharya by Dr. Pappu Venugopal Rao, who is erudition personified in many 
spheres. His in-depth analysis of Annamacharya's work, is more of a `Tapas' 
than any casual, fleeting interest in the subject. 

            The rendering of rare and popular songs set to music by 
distinguished musicians, by Vidwans Nedunuri Krishnamurthy, Narimella 
Balakrishna Prasad, Balamurali Krishna and Mandapaka Sri Devi with singular 
emphasis on melody, emotion, bhava and bhakti is truly vintage claret. This 
superb effort of Dr. Pappu Venugopala Rao is undoubtedly a collector's item.
