Sri Purnachander garu (violin maestro) has informed me that he attended this concert (a pass given to him by his then guru, Sri Lalgudi Jayaraman) and was sitting around the dais in the Madras Music Academy (MMA) and he vividly recalled that the year was 1966.
Sri Murthy bringing out great occasions to all music lovers. We feel we sat in d audience.of yore. Wish such more justures on Choudaiah' 's special phraces also can b brought to all yearning
Each time I listen to the same concert, I discover a new beauty and creative spark. He has no paralell and has given so much that I can barely soak up 1% to get my high of the day, each day . Blessed. thank you Sir!!
MSG sir use to say you have to Pooja aradhana to each and every swaram you play. Thats what he is exactly doing in kalyani alapana. He does aradhana through his sadhana
My thanks to Sri. Sreenivasa Murthy for the work he is doing in bringing out old recordings of MBK. As usual, no words I am finding to express the experience about the concert except using the word "GENIUS or specially gifted man" who only can sing like this........
One of the greatest maestros of all times of Karnatic Music, Guru Garu at his best of classicism presenting all Thyagaraja's compositions and all in Adi tala, except his own varnam composition. This concert dispels the wrong belief that maestro does not deliver introspective and meditative qualities. This concert also proves that his music is not BMK music (his own false claim, unfortunately) but very much pure and pristine Karnatic Music. I am truly sad to note only 1,892 views and all the rasikas of Karnatic Music must listen to this great offering by Sri Sreenivasa Murthy Garu. Heartfelt gratitude to you Sir.
I am yet to see a musician ( man or woman) who can sing the brigas with the speed and clarity of BMK!! It's that God given voice that makes it possible. And, it's only MSG, another genius, who could match him note for note in every briga with clarity and speed. Lalgudi Jayaraman came a close second in accompanying BMK. It's not easy to follow BMK because most of his stage singing was extempore and the accompanying artists had no way of knowing what and how BMK would sing!! BMK himself has said that very often he decided what to sing only after reaching the venue!!! As for mridamgam the one artist who did full justice to BMK's singing was TVG. Upendran has done a good job here. 1966 BMK was just 36, at the peak of his career.. So, must MSG have been.
I have to agree with everything you have said including that he would often decide what to sing when he got to the venue. When he sang in South Africa he was very unhappy when the host wanted to decide for him what should be sung and he said to me that he normally judged the audience when he got to the venue and decided at that point what he would sing although that was not hard and fast ofcourse. He did sing two of my requests! I am a student of his and sat on stage behind him at this concert and drove him around exclusively for the 8 or so days he was in South Africa. I consider myself very fortunate indeed and especially the 3 years I studied under him in Chennai. I saw a side to his personality that very few people were priviledged to see. My gratitude for those 3 years cannot be described.
Let me share the ecstasy of narration by the Famous Tamil writer Sri Manian during late sixties :- (I try to translate his Tamil write up) If we see a beehive movements of Rasikas , women rasikas in particular, and a tightly parked cars in Music Academy premises, it means there is a concert of Sri Balamuralikrishna inside ! So far I have seen such a crowd , only for Pt Ravishanjarji and now for Balamurali !! I used to wonder what is there for such a crazy followership . To check the same, I attended one concert of Balamuralikrishna. From that day, I have become one amongst that ‘crazy’ crowd of BMK followers. Original Tamil version :- மெட்ராஸ் ம்யூசிக் அகாடமி வாசலில் தேனீக்கள் போன்ற ரசிகர் கூட்டம் , குறிப்பாக பெண் ரசிகைகள், மற்றும் கார்கள் நிறைந்த பார்க்கிங்கும் காணப்பட்டால் அன்று பாலமுரளிக்ருஷ்ணா கச்சேரி என்று புரிந்து கொள்ளலாம். எனக்குத் தெரிந்து பண்டிட் ரவிசங்கருக்குத்தான் இப்படி ஒரு ஆர்வம் மிகுந்த கூட்டத்தைப் பார்த்திருக்கிறேன். இப்போது பாலமுரளிக்கும் அதேபோன்ற ரசிகர் பட்டாளத்தைப் பார்க்கிறேன். அப்படி என்னதான் அவரது இசையில் இருக்கிறது என்று தெரிந்து கொள்ள அவரது கச்சேரிக்குச் சென்றேன். அன்று முதல் நானும் அந்தக் கூட்டத்தில் ஒருவனாகிவிட்டேன் (என் ஞாபகக் குறைவு காரணமாக வார்த்தைகள் மாறுபட்டிருந்தால் மன்னிக்கவும்)
What a concert I have no words to say about this concert how beautiful hindola swarakalpana and kalyani ragam this type of concerts should be uploaded more and popularized more thank you sir for uploading this type of concerts🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😊
I feel that the in between announcements break the continuity of the concert. I find the information related to the concert very informative and thought provoking. My request is to not add announcements in between the krithis.
