Vs ji..I r so lucky to be his nephew..they were all maestros. . This raga has so much Hindustani shade... this is a very spl raag....so divine..serene rendition....hats off to these Carnaticians...
Wow. 51 years after George Harrison led me to Ravi Shankar, Allah Raka, Ali Akbar Khan, I’m now led to the source of it all: the Veena and her prime disciple, S Balachander. I’m a very lucky music lover. Thank you for the upload. I’ll be hearing lots more, that’s a fact. Words fall short to describe the beauty of this music and instrument and its interpreter.
You must hear Thanjavur k p sivanandam andsarada sivanandam veena duet. Then k.b. narayanaswamy veena and Karaikudi Samba Siva Iyer veena records sir. Real music is not too much sound . He is not prime disciple.
I am impressed with the Anchors pure Tamil Speech, now it is fully moderated and no one is able to speak like her. Then the music played by the legend is bless to hear.. Heavenly moment!
I fell in love with this song 'Krishna Nee Begane Baro...'. First time I'm hearing this detailed rendition. And what a melodious detailing it was....!!!
Carnatic music focusses on laya, by means of the system of talam. Through the expressed music ( ahata) , it deliberately tickles the anahata nadam residing in the heart of every man. The rhythm inside each soul is established in synchrony with the rhythm of the universe. It is clearly evident in the expressions of Sri Balachander garu that he is a true nadopasaka, who is getting into layam. A music that comes from such a nadopasaka floods every corner of us with bliss!
Sir, is this thing written in somewhere like Sangeetha sastra? The best explanation that gives me complete satisfaction. "Synchrony with the rhythm of the universe philosophy" permeates all of Indic culture. What an advanced thought that no other cultures have. Only now physicists are talking about the tuned universe. th-cam.com/video/yDqny7UzyR4/w-d-xo.html Ahata and Anahata explain why I am not taken much to Hindustani music. The same thing goes for harmony versus melody. When I listen to harmony-based music, my brain becomes uneasy. I believe this a trait we all south Asians have, otherwise our music system would have incorporated it.
The term 'All Rounder' , primarily used in cricket, has one of the best personifications in S Balachander. An Absolute Genius in the true sense of the term ! Mastery over so many fields in film making, such as direction, story, production, music (of course), etc. Also, the creativity was so well reflected in his making of completely different set of movies. Also, we should measure anyone's achievements by the times in which they lived in and the challenges and limitations of such times. Considering these factors, SB was truly an outstanding All Rounder in every sense of the definition !! Salutes to SB !!!
The mridangam is so subtle n not roaring like in the concerts..obliterating the singer's voice! We are able to enjoy each swar because it is clearly audible however softly he is playing it. ..the shuddha madhyam is soooo divine.... appearing in between the other swar and teevra madhyam... it gvs a heavenly aura to this raag
riding on asuurrey cariage thru the streets of belfast hearing the cry of the belgian stork i came upon arow of apple trees the taste was sour the pips were like sri lankan coffee grounds.
Most beautiful piece of art! I am so honoured to have known him as my grandfather Sri Salem G desikan's great friend! One of the greatest self made musician and an artist ever lived.
s balachander was a great musician trained in piano very well. a very handsome man in his younger days. he comes from an illustrious family let us salute this great man for his outstanding talents in many musical instruments...
He was also a great innovative movie director, writer, actor, music director (Anda Naal, Nadu Iravil, Ivana Avan, Bommai). Man of many parts! True genius blessed with many talents!
Only when a musician enjoys their own music can their music move others. Sri SB is ecstatic with his own music, so by virtue of his ecstasy, the listeners are also moved. Greatly blessed soul ❤️
Absolutely unimaginable and mindblowing. Such rendition can be possible by the one and only S.Balachander. A must watch for all veena players and even those interested in pursuing research about this divine instrument to have a glimpse of a number of new innovative techniques still remaining hidden and unearthed.
I have never heard someone play his instrument with such love. It seems like Sri Balachander is making love to his veena and is engulfed in a divine orgasmic bliss. Listening to this again and again and again. This composition brings tears to my eyes. Thank you Sri Srinivasan for uploading this jewel.
I grew up listening to Guru Shri Veena S Balachander. While we do not have him in person, those who are interested in his style of playing may want to check out Ramana Balachandran - young with the same kind of passion. Krishna Nee Begane - when there is so much bakti poured into rendition - Krishna will surely come fast. I have heard Guruji play this so many time and it is new each time.
i don't know why 56 people disliked this, as it was a live program once and also a reality by a great personality and not created any artificial message or sensitive information to anyone...
Most of the ornamentations are not possible in Veena with electric pickup. Especially krintan and zamzama, very typical surbahar and sitar.The lateral meend is very similar to surbahar, a dhrupad instrument, also the predecessor of sitar. His penchant for space and atmospherics is very unlike a typical carnatic concert. He must be inspired by many musical genres beyond our comprehension. And yes, the mridangam accompaniment is outstanding and carries the subtle music with utmost care.
Sri Balachander is truly mesmerizing to both hear and to see! The long alap sounds more Hindusthani to me than the Carnatic form, to which I have far less exposure, so this may be due to my shortcoming. Also interesting that he plucks the tala pakkareku strings with his thumb, not the usual technique for the vina. Can someone speak to his style and influences and whether the long alap and its style is atypical for Carnatic music?
Tears in my eyes every time I listen to this. The greatest musician to ever hold the instrument.
Lovely! Am proud he was my maternal uncle! A real genius! Yaman Kalyan, 65th Melakartha, has an uncommon beauty.

none like him. veena spoke throuh him. people have different opinions but he is the ultimate
Sad, in those days there was no stereo recording or broadcast. Also all analogue, pre digital.
One of the greatest renditions of any ragam in carnatic music stages. Marvelous. A writing in my ❤️
I am impressed with the Anchors pure Tamil Speech, now it is fully moderated and no one is able to speak like her. Then the music played by the legend is bless to hear.. Heavenly moment!
Yes, it's a real thrill to listen to the Thamizh speech of the lady introducing the programme.
That's an almighty dynamic squeeze on the Veena unpararelled in human history and never to be repeated anywhere or by anybody ever again!!
true
In a fight between him and a boa constrictor, he would win.
What a great performance concentrating on every note. He was a crown jewel of Carnatic music. Thanks for uploading.
a full octave on one fret..!!! its such a bliss to listen
The sound from this veena is so pleasing to the ears when compared to today’s new Veena instruments plus the way he is playing is out of the world
I fell in love with this song 'Krishna Nee Begane Baro...'. First time I'm hearing this detailed rendition. And what a melodious detailing it was....!!!

Awesome! Glad I came across the legend's recording. My humble pranams to the late maestro.
Absolute perfection. What mastery of Veena. Amazing is the only word comes to mind.

Full credit to the then young Tiruvarur Bhakthavasalam - a class mridangam performance, perfectly complementing the veena play!
he absolutely demanded mridangam artist to be as subtle as they could be.
Well said !! Today in all the concerts … the mridangam is very loud and overpowering the vocal / veena or violin…it’s so annoying

@@divyavarad9611 yes. He is my cousin.
I can't recall ever experiencing a player more at 'one' with their instrument. ! absolutely perfect melding of heart and hand.
Excellent service by uploading Veena Balachanders music 😊😊
The essence of India, and of the thought processes in the mind, emerging and submerging.
What a genius!! Good to see a young Tiruvarur Bhaktavatsalam
What a treasure. No words to say. Just tears.
Genius who also directed Andha naal !
Also

All are superbly entertaining.
He only introduced yesudas.

This is indeed a treasure! Thanks to the person who has uploaded this video here.
SB sir, you will live in our hearts forever.
Yes
Long live sir for uploading such a great piece
The Veena cried tears of joy as each note was caressed out of her.
Missing such legends....seeing him dance for the movie Sangham........i like watching his calm side now.....while playing his Veena
Absolutely unimaginable and mindblowing. Such rendition can be possible by the one and only S.Balachander. A must watch for all veena players and even those interested in pursuing research about this divine instrument to have a glimpse of a number of new innovative techniques still remaining hidden and unearthed.

Such rare genius character, no one to fill his place 🌻
great playing veena like hanuman ji for Rama !
the veena was his voice. and he, the voice of the veena
A master, prodigy above all a genius performer
Balachander IS Veena! Legend!
My father was named after him by my grandmother. I am glad she did
a great master creating beauty

This makes me so happy to be alive.
Thank you so very much for sharing this piece.
very nice.....i don't have any knowledge about music......very lovely.....salutes to all veterans playing: )
Ming boggling string bending. Really how on earth does he play like that. Amazing mastery it seems to me.
What a treasure! Please post more of his live performances if you have. Thank you!
i don't know why 56 people disliked this, as it was a live program once and also a reality by a great personality and not created any artificial message or sensitive information to anyone...
It is a lovely song too. "Krishna Nee Begane Boro" I think.
Hans Fried
U rightly think !!!
Wonderful stuff... Thanks for the upload.
oh no word is suffice to express and get the real meaning
Is this a Yaman-Kalyan equivalent Carnatic Raga? This is absolute soul-stirring. Every touch seems to come from the soul.
DIPAYAN BAIRAGI, umm you could call it yamuna kalyani...
Due to evolution ..names and other things hv undergone slight changes...for the common music lover..it sure is yaman kalyan
A legend!!! Have nto seen anyone else play the veena like he did
Most of the ornamentations are not possible in Veena with electric pickup. Especially krintan and zamzama, very typical surbahar and sitar.The lateral meend is very similar to surbahar, a dhrupad instrument, also the predecessor of sitar.

Colour transmission started in in 1982 itself. So silver jubilee must be colour transmission only.

@@TejasM14 super said
Yes you're right, the alap is very much influenced by Hindustani music and long alaps rather rare in carnatic music.
கற்றோருக்கு செல்லுமிடமெல்லாம் சிறப்பு.
Am proud that veenai balachander sir son sri.Raman was my collegemate
Super 👌
A great Maestro's great contribution
The music is lingerining in the mind even after is over

Not as traditional like Vidwan Sri KS Narayanaswamy. Over gamakas spoil beauty of raga & keerthana

We have a saying in Tamil that loosely translates to, "an ass knows not the fragrance of camphor". Describes you quite aptly.
Thanks for the compliment. It was a joke. Of course i respect spirituell feelings and the taste for music of everyone.
