Not only every violinist, but every musician should watch and listen to Dr. Subramaniam. This is a whole different paradigm. 🙏🏼

[@d.cypher2920]

Just, wow... 🇺🇸😎🤝😎🇮🇳

[@nidheeshkumar3426]

This is my first comment on a KZbin video. Dear sir... Ioved it.. tears are flowing from my eyes... Can't explain how happy i am. Felt like hearing the Goddess ..

[@sowrirajans]

thats the beauty of Charukesi and the master of course!

[@randum8774]

Ironically, charukeshi is known as the raga used in a tragic outset. Even this song aada Modi galade is about tyaga Raja lamenting how Rama is never giving him his darshan

[@d.cypher2920]

"Emperor of the Violin" No joke. Padma Bhushan also. 😎🇺🇸🙏

[@kalpanasingh3911]

Its always an honour to listen to the maestro creating magic on those mesmerising strings! Just as enchanting now as it was so many decades ago. The magic just keeps growing richer and richer!

[@surfingsage]

It’s just brilliant how the first few seconds itself sets the stage - the bhavam of the raga is brought out instantly.

[@devendraramanna5193]

This is the gold we should cling to our hearts and never let go. Absolute legends.

[@hrishi9490]

Thank you very much sir for playing this beautiful piece of music 🙏

[@jithendrancs9547]

Charukeshi, undoubtedly the saddest raaga of all. Its the last cry for help. When a man finally loses his battle against life, he turns to God himself and cry out loud for rescue. This raaga atleast for me depicts that.

[@gauthamkrishnan5922]

Subhapantuvarali says a hi !!

[@jaganms62]

Dr. L S is the ultimate in my collection. Brings my mind to peace when I am confused and sad.

[@ravishankartj5749]

I have listened to this rendition several times and never get tired of it. Such pure music

[@d.cypher2920]

NEVER... Absolutely 💯 beautiful. I'm so pissed that his country was conquered by the English, most people don't know that Ireland and India have very similar flags to this day, because of their unified Independence movements at the same time essentially. I'm actually American, but ethnicity is Irish. 😎🇨🇮🤝🇮🇳🤝🇺🇸😎 I have about 12 Indian friends, plus their families. Absolutely wonderful people. Period. Every ethnicity has good and bad people, I'm not an idiot, yet my best and most loyal, honorable, people who possess integrity and love, peace are without question... INDIAN. 🇺🇸😎🤝😎🇮🇳

[@vtba1954]

Awesome performance and I love his music

[@d.cypher2920]

i have no words... Exellant ! Awesome ! Bravo !!!

[@gssarma02]

Just mesmerising and enormously humbling!

[@d.cypher2920]

Amazing. I don't think Paganini could do it. *emperor of sound* Thank you for sharing this.

[@janezpungartnik3149]

Of course he could do it. But if he played this at court he'd probably never played violin in that court again. As for the skill... You just have to look at his caprices to know he could play almost anything on a violin. One can only imagine if Paganini traveled through Asia what kind of music he'd write... But i agree, the sound on display here is so big, it's hard to compare it to anything..

[@d.cypher2920]

@@janezpungartnik3149 i love paganini...obviously a huge fan of caprice number 24, and number 5 of course. *I'm not so sure he could actually play this, without a couple hours minimum of practice.* Not to even begin to mention: Niccolo Paganini was probably the FIRST superstar musician to actually play upon the 'sold my soul to the devil, in return for musical gifts'! I don't believe someone who could do such a thing overtly, at such a time in history would have any problems himself 'playing this at court' or the ramifications that would or would not follow. Who knows for sure... All i know: This man, *Dr. Lakshminaranya Subramanian trained in Carnatic music, and then trained in western classical music, and trained in medicine, and became a holder of a PhD.* That's a very big deal, were i am from. ☀️😎☀️🇺🇸 I appreciate your position, and comment. Be well

[@yoavbueno9656]

@@janezpungartnik3149 The real answer to that is, obviously Paganini could not have done it. But not technically speaking - rather musically speaking. He was not trained in modal music of this form, and to construct a raga such as this brilliant improvised rendering, one has to study this system. In reality, no great musician 'can do' what another one has done or does, simply because it's their unique musical character and expression, and more than that, it's a whole mindset of a different tradition which cannot simply be copied in technical means.

[@d.cypher2920]

​@yoavbueno9656 Been a while since I saw my replies... For that I apologize. Yet, thank you for that advanced semi-tutorial. 🇮🇳😎🇺🇸❤️‍🔥🙏

[@jayaramaraovadada4114]

Really it is marvelous.

[@ramachandranarvind]

[@chell99]

As usual LS mesmerises. When was this performed ? The recording quality is quite poor. This is surprising considering that it is at Royal Albert Hall !

[@vijayshankarm.v.9746]

Could you please give the names of accompanying artists

[@swapnaroychowdhury4187]

Heavenly music.

[@201288balaji]

7 dislikes, rest in peace

[@rajeshmadhavan4422]

This is vey good. But, the real praise should belong to the system( Carnatic aka South Indian classical) . Listen to Master U.Srinivas handling the same Charukesi ragam.

[@kaladwarakanath5503]

He was another genius! Taken from us too soon! 😪

[@hardikjoshinaadbrahm]

I have no dare to watch this....🙄

[@CBMalloch]

Music: wonderful! Videography: well composed and shot. Production: TERRIBLE - cannot watch, as the video portion is entirely unrelated to the audio, so cannot learn from his technique. Very disappointed. I'm listening now with the video scrolled off the top, and it's much better...

[@ramespvpenukonda7485]

Ls is a talented violinist, but his fusions r not that much worth

[@harshahoneymusicchannel5343]

Ni more words 👏 sir
