[@shankarprasad5767]

This is beyond everything. Music of the highest philosophy.

[@pnarayanannampoothirisoupa1639]

Excellent concert , thanks very much for the upload

[@nagarajant3404]

Superb excellent marvellous niraval anð swaraprastharam

[@arvraghu]

Some concerts and Musicians were never made. They just happened. How deeply one misses Ramabhadran Sir's honey-soaked accompaniment!! The vAdhyam tuned to razor precision, valam-idam balance, the "podi" phrases akin to peacock dancing in the rain... Just beautiful❤

[@sowrirajans]

atleast 100 times , and it still fresh and amazing!!!

[@vaidyseshan7021]

🙏தெய்வீகம் 🙏. இந்த அனுபவத்தை விவரிக்கிறது மிகவும் கஷ்டம். God Bless you for uploading.

[@ganeshmoorthy9641]

Lalgudi sir Vera level. Out of the world. Thanks sir for the upload

[@MrSivakris1]

Vellore Ramabhadran playing is magical.the tone of the mridangam. .it just blends with the mood of the singer and rhythm

[@kalyankumarmuthurajan5693]

rAga tALa gatulanu pADucunu : lyric meaning is "singing (pADucunu) to rAga, tALa and gati (gatulanu)"... how sri mani iyer picks up the concept and employs his prowess to deliver it, is brilliant, just out of the world.. variations in raaga bhaava, variations in taalakattu, variations in tempo or gati, all built in a silken passage of niraval... pure bliss

[@MrSivakris1]

Lalgudi Sir.. Music comes like a waterfall from his divine soul.. 🙏

[@neyvelisanthanagopalan8817]

Pure bliss

[@nagarajrajaram7727]

Absolutely heavenly! The mridangam beat is mesmerising.

[@baskarsathya9300]

The accompaniments are either just wooed/captivated by the mood of the singer or it’s just that the spirit of music (the raga aka the bhakthi) has simply swallowed these stalwarts to create such an impactful and wholesome rendering of the queen of Carnatic raga the Kalyani.

[@babus9111]

Your comment is also charmingly phrased like MMI's Ramabhakthi

[@vishnuramprasadvasudevan2668]

For many years my mother used to listen to this vasudevayani on a daily basis.

[@raghavanrajuiyer8311]

MMI is immortal so also this particular rendition. Glory to God.

[@ananthanarayanankrishnamoo8612]

Madurai Mani Iyervaal ❤what a beautiful singing. Accompaniments equally superb !!

[@subramanianramamoorthy3413]

Fast sarvalagu with mirdanga naadam of VR Sir synchronising with fast swaras MMI ji and subtle acoompaniment of LKJ Ji, nothing more one can ask or expect in carnatic musical arena !!!!!

[@profvenkataramanikrishnamu1710]

One can listen to MMI anytime & enjoy the absolute pleasure every time 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@arvraghu]

Yours truly once happened to meet Ramabhadran Sir during his morning walks at the Marina beach, played this recording in my walkman and asked if this was him or PSP. He did confirm that it was him and thanked me for this doubt saying that this doubt was indeed a great compliment! Never before, Never again shall we see Vidwans of the caliber of Ramabhadhran Sir ❤

[@srinivasanshivakumar6616]

A while ago, I spoke to Shri Kalidas, a direct shishya of PSP, and he told me that Mahavidhwan Sri Vellore Ramabhardran came closest to PSP. And that is why he was preferred by MMI after PSP's untimely demise. Shri Ramabhadran was so popular that he would have concerts booked for 3 months in advance. His play was masterclass that was able to handle the likes of Alathoor Brother and Nedanuri, who indulged in lots of laya intricacies. I have a thani of his in misra chapu that lasts less than 4 minutes from a concert of Sangeetha Kalanidhi , Veena Vidwan Brahmanandam and his wife Sharada that is as wholesome as a thani can get - a true showcase of his vidwath. He was a very witty man.

[@srinivasanshivakumar6616]

Brothers and brother

[@srinivasanshivakumar6616]

In the 1980s I had the opportunity to meet Shri. LGJ, while on a foreign concert. Swaragnani is how LGJ started describing MMI. Tears rolled down on LGJ's cheeks while listening to a hindolam krithi of Thyagaraja.

[@MrSivakris1]

Such captivating music.. Pranaams to the legends

[@veeraraghavanthiruvenkatac4080]

God description of jow the concert bing enjoyed

[@sowrirajans]

Is there full recording of this concert available?

[@shreeraam_22]

Yes, but unfortunately a better quality version does not exist.

[@varadharajanranganathan3761]

Dear shriram sankar ji - this is cleqrly one of the most enjoyable musical experiences... The mrdangam is played by the great pazhani... Not vellore..

[@shreeraam_22]

This is from the 1962 concert held at Jamshedpur with Lalgudi Jayaraman and Vellore Ramabhadran

[@varadharajanranganathan3761]

@@shreeraam_22 thank you sir.. isnt this the kutchery that starts with ninnukori varnam? And has classics such as manasA srI rAmacandra, mAkElarA vicAramu, and a grand tAyE yasOdha undan?

[@ganeshmoorthy9641]

Yes sir
