What a wonderful concert. All of Sri Semmangudi's all time hits in one concert. Each and every song has the SSI stamp, steeped in raga bhaava with progressive rendition of sangathis. And appropriately placed neraval and swara passages. Great listening and learning experience!
What a great concert. Ahaaa.. every song gets better than the previous. Nice thing is all the songs are fairly well known to the average listener. The marubalka crescendo at the anupallavi is an unique experience. The accompaniment was of the highest order, highest. Masters of their respective art. Thank you sir.
So true and sankaran mamas majestic playing is always a treat to rasikas ears especially his misra nadai sollu in anupallavi or charanam is always a bliss and mamas right left balance and the ghumki, sarvalaghu is a bliss one can keep listening to sankaran mama everyday and the enthusiasm to listen will always be the same :)
Class of different level What a combination Melodious அனுசரனையான மிருதங்கம் Which current days artists should strictly learn Nowadays the mridangams mostly irritate( they make noise of high decibel spoiling our hearing faculty) Sorry to make this which is true Kudos. to the opportunity provided
Oh what a wonderful names ending lastly with the word ‘Gudi’ Viz., Sri Chemmangudi in vocal music, Sri Lalgudi with his beautiful violin play and Aalangudi performing the rhythmic ‘mrudangam!!! It’s indeed unique!!! - “M.K. Subramanian”.
Superb SSI, Trichy sankaran, Lalgudi and Ks Manjunath sirs - all Maha Vidwans - Amazing combo and each one a master…SSI choice of masterpieces in cutchery is superb !!!
3 hours and 30 minutes ..what a concert..what an energy filled with enthusiasm. Sriranjini, Mukhari, Kharaharapriya, Thodi, Varali and Shanmugapriya all under one roof ...The Neravals and swaras bore the special mark Semmangudi Mama ..Lalgudi sir and Sankaran sir what an understanding and respect to Semmangudi Mama is very much evident. So Divine and Bliss....
The songs sung in this cd are wonderful and worth hearing again them and again and gives immense pleasure to all who hear. Divine. Chemmangudi Sri Srinivasa Ayyar lived in our life-time and words are inadequate to praise his singing abilities. Beautiful selection of songs. - “Mandakolathur Subramanian.”
@@vintageaudio54 My pleasure. Musicians, rasikas and students will be eternally obliged to you for your selfless work in making our classical music heritage freely
shrIkAnta nIyeDa is a classic of the Semmangudi school. There is a wonderful recording I cannot find of SSI-LS-UKS with this item. Very distinct from this rendering, Mama in a different mood each time but brilliant in both! I've also heard Sri TMT render this with sowkhyam.
