Contents Rave Himagiri Kumari Kanchi Kamakshi - thodi - Shyama Sastri - 00:00:00 - a beautiful slow and clear rendition of this kriti Karunimpa idi manchi tharunamu saami - sahana varnam - Tiruvotriyur Thiyagaiyer ~24:55:00 - this varnam is rendered with correct raga aksharaas in the original lyrics with a taanam in between and some extensions of his own not in the original version - a great memory - and a great and a long effort in sahana exploration - He also explains why he spent a great effort in singing the kalpana swaras and reinterpret the original varNam. ninnu jUci dhanyuDaiti nIraja nEtra - sourashtra - Patnam Subramanya Iyer ~ 48:00:00 The pallavi sakala lOkAdhAra saccitAkAra sakala jIvEshvara sarvEshvara sakala pApa hara sAdhu hrd-vihAra sakala vara dAyaka shrI venkaTEsvara sounds very good. Kaligiyunte Gadaa Galgunu - keervaani - Thiagaraja swami ~ 01:09:45 - Ragam tanam pallavi - singer and instrumentalists takes this song apart piece by piece very nicely - low staayi percussion is amazing. This rendition will a treat for keeravaani afficionados. Kaligiyunte gadaa is also my favorite. I can hear the voices of Ranjini and Gayathri in one male voice here albeit in a slightly slower pace.

What is the Love message that you are sending to your beloved (Kanta)? Oh! Beautiful, tell me, I am being perturbed! Why do you trust this wild parrot? Why would you tell it your inner most secrets?

[@drkrsna]

So beautiful to see TMK asking violinist to play sahana when he clearly needed a break to get his voice and mind to freshen up. Love the quixotic touches in his concerts , be it the order, type of compositions, where to sing thaanam, niraval, tutorial of how to sing swarams using varnam chittaswarams, breaking the artificial norms set by 20 th century musicians. In addition to brimming with bhaavam and cerebral/aesthetic balancing, these quixotic approaches [which some people criticise] are what nurtures real art. This will help art grow without diluting it in anyway. People are always afraid of changes, I am a fan of any change which does not affect the aesthetic/cerebral/paddhathi aspects of this great music. This is why I love TMK. Dhanyasi -Ahiri -Surutti- Devaghandari- Saurashtram thread is a testament of perfect cerebral work of using common prayogams between these raagas as a common link , but also perfectly balancing aesthetically as one flowed into the other making perfect sense. Very rarely he makes me smile when the orders are a bit funny. But this makes it even more interesting. Mahatrupthi. In future would be great to see tradition soaked Senior accompanists like Sangeetha Kalanidhi Kanyakumari accompany TMK. [If only MSG was alive, he would have seized it] Senior mridangist have accompanied.

[@kewlking]

note to self: if you have about 20 mins, listen from 1:09:33 onwards - forget all analysis and expectations - just sit with your eyes closed, let it build up and allow the music to carry you where it wants. you will hopefully get a glimpse into the power of music and why people devote entire lifetimes in appreciation and pursuit of this feeling...

[@ska5711]

...in fact.... start from 1:03:30 mark to not miss the transition from taanam to pallavi... it is so beautiful and seamless... TMK does that quite often....

[@MrLNNETI]

To all the people commenting about how Arun Prakash sir isn't playing half the time - only if you accompany someone who sings at TMK sir's pace with all the bhava, will you know how difficult it is to even touch the mridangam without disturbing the ambience, leave alone accompanying continuously. Please rewind and go to places where he stops playing for a few seconds and the grand effect it has when he resumes ! That is the beauty of silence. If you still don't get it, just pick a different set of artists to listen to and calm the hell down ! PS - Glad to see some bigots and conservatives in the comments section ( more will follow soon ). I wonder why it pinches you'll so much that you take time to hear snippets of his concerts and shame him. May God help you'll !

[@Muthukumaraswamy]

yes. I am also of your opinion.

[@santoshrrrr]

Exactly, there is aesthetic beauty in both style of accompaniment, be it sarvalagu or more filled accompaniment albeit I would prefer this style over the one filled with sollu. Often times the environment surrounding the upcoming percussionists is such that they need to prove their mettle that they need to go beyond Thani to amplify their prowess ending up having extremely complicated solkattu in between sangathis.

[@adarshdatt]

[@MrLNNETI]

[@adityasundar2737]

Mr. T.M.Krishna's kalaparamanam makes me drop my jaw. He must be engaged in grueling sadhana. A purist to the core and avant-garde at the same time...His singing makes us reconsider our usual listening habits and recovers the Thodi that we have long forgotten, thanks to speed

[@Angarayan]

Very-well put. My thoughts exactly.

[@ambareeshiyer]

so true man.....can't agree more

[@giridhartirumalai1600]

"the Thodi that we have long forgotten,"????? Thodi forgotten ... how can any carnatic music lover EVER forget Thodi, of all rAgAs?

Can you please list the ragas sung from the beginning to the end please?

[@giridhartirumalai1600]

Todi; shahana; (dhanyasi-surutu-arabhi) to saurashtra ( Extremely freakish sequence - no value added at all, waste of time); kIravAni; behag; sindubhairavi; khamas.

[@pedavemali]

After TMK's soul-filling Kumara Ettera kriti in Todi, 'Gajavadana sammodita', rich in gandhara-dhaivata samvaada, which am yet to get over even after countless times listening, this new kriti of Syama Sastry has literally pulled me into deep space and that's it...!

There is no political controversy. He is a man with opinions and speaks it out. I think. Yes, thanks for sharing.

[@asubmani]

you are aware that the controversy was initiated by TMK.. right :)

Amazing concert!. Excellent singing by TMK as usual! It takes tremendous effort and skill to play mridangam for a musician like TMK who is truly out of the world when it comes to handling slow tempo songs. And Arun Prakash sir actually does a tremendous job in TMK's concerts - and I am not talking just about this one. The expectations of the bigots/conservatives (not just in this thread but in any other related forum) is hard to understand. I have found TMK's music to be stunning and very unique and there are very few who can perform like that in today's era - I don't think anyone sings slow tempo songs the way he does in today's carnatic music world.

[@aparnack]

Sornalatha looks so cute and has accompanied very well..this was the first time I saw her with TM Krishna! Thank you and hope to see more. Needless to say, no words to describe the classic SSI thodi swarajathi lessons rendered with additional Krishna icing on the cake.

Another Todi gem of Syama Sastry by the inimitable maesteo, Sri TMK... memorable and soulful remdition..👌👌👌 extremely satisfying!!!

[@mohancharlu9153]

I was at this concert In January of last year 😅 it was preceded by a concert of Emmanuelle Martin at chowdaiah memorial hall . 😇 I was late and walked in towards the end of rave himagiri and I was slapping myself for having missed it . I was so smitten just by the last swaram that I frantically looked for his recordings of it online and couldn’t find it anywhere and it left a palpable void in me for a year . I’m ecstatic that I found this after a year and finally listened to what I had missed . And my god , I was right in being distraught for a year , I really had missed a masterpiece . So grateful to SHAALE LIVE for uploading this and liberating me from my year long anguish 😇

[@sairamakoti]

Superb mrundhangam and ghatam accompaniments. Excellent timings. TMK should retain them for all his concerts. Swarnalatha on violin appears to me as some what reluctant. I have seen in other videos, her sibling Subbulakshmi giving return blows immediately for everything TMK strikes and it is a pleasure to watch. Swarna has vidwat, but should confidently hit back. I fully appreciate this team. Thanks to Bharathiya samagana sabha for posting this concert here for rasikas like me.

[@TheShreyas56]

To contrast the negative comments in this thread, I think this concert is very close to genius. The amount of spontaneity and true manodharmam, with the presentation is something I have not seen ever before. I also think that is important to note that just because he is not doing it the SAME as the current concert atmosphere, it is not inherently BAD. I encourage everyone to give this a fair chance before dismissing it as "ridiculous"

[@sixthsense66able]

I disagree. This is not close to genius, this is beyond genius.

[@guran02]

The DVG piece "Yene Sukhabashini" has been superbly rendered...

[@vijayanmukkonath9948]

TMK is unmatchable and amazing in the field of carnatic music. Apart from his political views, I respect him a lot as a carnatic vocalist..Hats off...

[@Ram_Lakshmanan]

A well-executed concert! Sruti shuddham, laya shuddham, and a lot of bhavam. Unusual in parts - but so what? It adds to the overall drama, so it becomes enjoyable. Very supportive and embellishing accompaniment from the violinist Akkarai Sow. Sornalatha; and the two percussionists - Sri Arun Prakash on the Mridangam and Sri V Guruprasad on the Ghatam. Arun's style of playing is very subdued and hence the long pauses. Enjoyed the Tani Avarthanam as well. As rasikas, we need to recognize that there will always be a few who may not like the concert or certain aspects of it; and they have every right to express their views. Any feedback is good for the artists, as it allows them to learn from it and improve.

If the Rasika’s accept SARVAM KRISHNAMAYAM , and it is the Lord who dwells in the Heart of All, this performance is a proof. The Lord Sri Krishna who dwells inside the heart of all , sings thro the Heart of Sri T M Krishna . A wonderful performance by Sri T M Krishna , and by all the accompanying Artists . Listen again and again, and it is nothing but PIPATHA BHAGHAVATHAM .

The violinist - I think she is the best ever. I never thought anybody can match TMK in what he does best IMO which is staying in a particular line and doing enormous decoration with raagam for that line. She just went a step further and showed me there is a mile more that can be done. At places felt like TMK had to step in show his competitive nature !!! to see if he can best that.
