A benchmark Kalyani for now and forever - Tyagaraja's 'sundari nee divya rUpamu'

[@sudhakashyap9697]

After listening to this,kalyani..no OTHER..kalyani...its the highest quality level...Dr.balamuralikrishnaji..is the highest institution...pranams to him..

[@venkatpv83]

He takes the alapana, which is already an abstract form of the raga unlike a composition, and takes it to another level of abstraction! And Lalgudi responds to it with an equally abstract and brilliant Kalyani! Having heard this Kalyani many many times, I feel this alapana is so brilliant because it doesn't seem to borrow ideas from any existing compositions... or if it does, there is some great dexterity in the robbery!

[@sekarsanthana84]

Sir, I have heard it live in Shanmukananda hall, and hearing it again yesterday, after almost 58 years through you, I feel greatly blessed. Anantha koti namaskaram Sir.

[@raghugk09]

No body has worked on length and breaths of Kalyani as Master does. This is a classic example of one of them. Thanks Murthy sir for taking so much pain in re-doing work on recordings of yesterday for better audio quality.............Masterpiece!!!!!!!!............

[@c.v.r.murthy7899]

It's a beast service music for lovers by Murthy a contribution of music Mistri MBK.

[@rajusrinivasan476]

Master at work

[@gunturusubbarao4555]

Sri BMK supremo does it again and none above him

[@krishnandandapani6092]

Srinivas Murthy Sir, unable to have enough of this Kalyani. Embellishment like no one else. Devinity personified. Only God could have brought us this close to sublime Ecstacy. Can't thank you enough Sir.

[@nuranichandra2177]

I hear this every time I want to feel, touch, and hear god. It infuses exuberant energy in me that keeps me ticking for a while until I start missing it again. Dr. BMK is my energy.

[@t.v.v.nageswararao2072]

Gaana rishiki namassulu.we can visualise the dance of maa saraswati in his voice.A great unique personality.we are indebted to sri srinivasamurty to keep sri Balamurali alive in our minds every moment.🙏

[@ramlaljs5284]

Thanks for sharing this concert. That's in 1963, when the maestro Sri Bala Murali was just 33 years. Here accompanied by two other maestros, Sri Lalgudi and Sri Umayalpuram.

[@ravisarvepalli1539]

Sri Srinivasa Murthy garu - exceptional praise and admiration for the work you are doing towards all the music fans. Absolutely impeccable rendition of Kalyani. Searching for words to praise this rendition !

[@indras1890]

Namaskaram, SRINIVASAMURTHYGARU, Can't count how many times listened to Kalyani,Amuthavarshini and all ur post of BMK.NO Musician can match him.Thank u so much.Pranans.

[@SreenivasaMurthy]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and reflections.

[@jayachandrahatwar4431]

Simply a superb and inimitable rendition.

[@balukrishna54]

Excellent write up Vinaya Srinivasa Murthy for outstanding Kalyani.each and every second of this rendition is simply amazing.every time I listen i will have new experiences and find some thing New.

[@csbalachandran]

He has just *danced* all around Her and made Her his own! Tyagaraja would have been pleased! I, too, had listened to 1 or 2 different recordings of this concert here and there. But this audio clarity was not available there. So, thanks to you for providing this good quality audio.

[@raghul2k]

This audio is a great service to the music community. I hope this gets preserved for later generations to listen and learn. Thanks a lot, Sir.

[@SreenivasaMurthy]

+Raghul S Venkatesh : Thank you. The main objective is posterity and we can facilitate this by listening and sharing it others.

[@srmallu12]

This is truly divine... in all humility rivals the best of the legends incl Semmangudi, MS, Madurai Mani Iyer MD and Yesudas Who all had a majesty of their own.

[@srmallu12]

In fact never realised the range he had until I heard the you tube recordings from 60s. His rendition of hamsavinodhini RTP is even more breathtaking.

THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENDABLE JOB AND WE ARE ALL GREATFUL TO YOU

[@vinayaspai2619]

Standing on a sea-shore, one sees waves rise and fall. A cool breeze, moist and welcoming wefts across, a Kalyani blooms in the mind. The rAga -AlApana is as calm and warm as sea-breeze, both the mind and heart feels at peace. With waves rising and falling, all notes in Kalyani do the same in the AlApana. A mood of reverence and divinity sets-in. With a voice dipped in honey, made from the flowers of Spring, with an appeal to a mother from her child, with such an intimacy yet devotion in nature, BMK gAru sings the AlApana. With a natural flow of abundant brigAs and modal shifts and pure bhAvam, the long-detailed rAga -AlApana fills one’s heart and eyes. A fitting follower on the Violin is Lalgudi gAru, who glorifies the appeal of BMK with all melody and grandeur. With melodious thuds and sweet lyrics, as one progresses through the listening to the rendition, one cannot help but imagine what it must have felt like to witness the same in live! When BMK sings the sAhitya-vinyAsam, there is no mistaking the longing of the child, for the grace of his mother. Saint Tyagaraja says, one’s birth is fulfilled, all the thirst is quenched, all riches are obtained, on seeing you, Oh mother of the world! The same can be said about this Kalyani, all music thirst is quenched, all melody treasures are obtained, all hearts are filled, all eyes are moist, all minds are in resonance, all hands are folded in prayer to Her, all ears ringing with BMK’s music, all riches obtained. It seems like there is no greater joy to be experienced in this world. Such is the offering of BMK to his mother, such is the joy of Saint Tyagaraja on seeing Tripura Sundari. Following this blissful rendezvous, the calm sea, rises high with the svara-tides and washes over the listener with intellectual joy. Both the violin and mridangam unite with BMK in bringing out, what is to many, THE Kalyani, THE Sundari nee divya roopamu, THE essence of music.

[@csbalachandran]

*Very* well-said! I agree totally.

[@saligramvishwanath1]

This one rendition is worth many hours/days of study. While Dr.BMK and LGJ are glaringly outstanding, I think some of the touches from UKS has enhanced this whole piece. The laya sukham UKS provides to pick up "mandagamana"(32:15) is one of the numerous examples of the rapport between BMK/UKS as well.

[@csbalachandran]

I agree totally! To see BMK and UKS (and MSG) on stage is to see true sahrdayas having a grand old time in front of us. They always showed amazing rapport. This resulted in a unique kind of anticipation of each other, and a profound sensitivity to the whole process. Each knew what buttons to push to draw out the best in the others.

[@shankaramaranathan7392]

Spellbinding. Thank You,Thank you.

[@sujathafan]

Wonderful writing. Captivating style bringing the essence of music with Grace and Glory. Thanks !!

[@ajayaprabha]

[@krishsubramanyam8480]

BMK was no doubt great !To keep up to the challenge we had some great violinists like LLG,MSG who could produce their own vintage stuff .We r all blessed to hear such great music

[@sampathmv56]

What a start 🙏🏽

[@raghavendranch7332]

Top class... No words to explain.. grahabedha to Mohana, hindola and Lalgudi Sir responding with his class is a pleasure to hear. I also remember BMK-MSG combination Kalyani where the great MSG just produces the same what is sung. People who have seen this live are blessed

[@SreenivasaMurthy]

I will post that version after sometime. :-)

[@bangaloredwarakanath2090]

I commend you for your great service in restoring many old recordings of our great musicians. As listeners we owe a deep gratitude. My one observation on this recording of Dr. Balamurali Krishna's Kalayani exposition is that during restoration process some aspects of his voice may have been modified/distorted and the voice seems not his.

[@Srihari.K.R.]

Brilliant, Dr BMK Sir 🙏🙏🙏

[@sadanandarao5679]

You have done an excellent job and made me hear this beautiful krithi sundarinee divyarupamu in kalyani sung by a topmost artist Sri.Balamurali Sir. hats off you Sir. Is there any live programme of this krithi.your efforts is commendable Thank you Sir.

[@KanchanaManyam]

Dear shri murthygaru, even the screen design is great!!! And in each video.. U r great! How do u get all this done!?

[@SreenivasaMurthy]

[@devadhideva]

without Murthy garu, music will be deaf

[@vanisreebhasyam9586]

Thanks for excellent kalyani. But it is not mangalampalli balamurali voice

[@satyanarayanayerubandi.9283]

It's Bala murali itself in early 60s. He used to sing each raga differently from on each occasion.if you could hear 50to60AIR performances you could realise it.

[@balukrishna54]

Yes it's not Balamurali, god is singing in form of Balamurali.

[@AnandKumar-fj6it]

The brigas in alapana resembles the brigas of Nadhaswaram chakravarthy T.N.Rajarathnam pilly. As per my grandfathers opinion.

[@2341950]

It is Balamurali sir, who can sing the gamakas like him

[@mohanbala3743]

Honestly this doesn't sound like Dr. BMK...infact quite a lot like Ramnad Krishnan. Could I be mistaken?
