TM Krishna: Raga Simhavahini

[@arjun_ragafanatic]

1:44 TMK asks Rithvik what the name of the raga is. If you take a second to think about it means that this raga is something he sings so unoften that he doesn't recollect even the name. And yet he renders it with unparalleled perfection. I cannot fathom the level of mastery required for this.

[@vaidyalingasiva]

Do they not rehearse before a kutchery atleast the Guru and Shishya(vocal part)? or all these performances extempore? with TMK anything can happen given the genius that he is!

[@arjun_ragafanatic]

@@vaidyalingasiva I remember reading that It is indeed extempore. TMK decides what to sing in the moment based on the feel. This is why he sometimes incurs the ire of purists as he does not stick to the kucheri format. However in my opinion, his choices represent his most honest feelings and that shows in the music.

[@yogeshwarapple1344]

True. Nenarunchara is a lil popular. He wud be aware of arohanam avarohanam. Just name is confusing there are a lot of ragas ending with vahini.But I’m aware that he doesn’t rehearse even for high paid concerts.

[@srikanthramaswamy3976]

Listening to this for the thousandth time.. TMK and Akkarai Subbulakshmi..❤.. best music combination

[@shanthip3987]

Even I listen to this again and again!!!

[@jvsuryanarayana]

The Violinist is a great asset. The Vocalist and the Violinist seem to be conversing with each other!

[@sankhito]

That's the idea.

[@919003725979]

She should be seated behind him so that we can enjoy his singing in full

[@parvathybinoy4703]

Thank you TM Krishna for being you, in the many spaces of carnatic music.

[@rajarapaka]

Mesmerizing performance, wonderful artists, surprisingly everyone is too good. Obviously TM Krishna and Subhalakshni are gems.

[@arjunwarrier1902]

He is really a gem !! love and respect dearest TMK, akkarai . . . the way his gestures talk to her bow . . . thanks fea for these priceless media. waiting for even more once life is back to normal

[@manivannansrinivasan9635]

Ably supported by the violinist who has amazing knowledge. Sruthi suddham. God bless her

[@keshavanand2]

Tm krishna, u think u are blessed to sing as u do? .....you dont even know how blessed i am to hear you ? may your mother be blessed....she gave us this chance in this birth, to have heard you.

[@chitrasundram1459]

I agree...cant count how many times I have heard simhavasini...the music of the Gods...a different dimension...

[@jyotisampat3246]

Only thing I can say about his singing is mesmerizing. Its heart cleansing !!!

[@layadhwaniacademyusa]

Fantastic playing by Akkarai Subbulakshmi

[@srinathcaitanya]

I really can't say what I feel when I listen... it does something to you.....music is priceless...

[@akshaysankarshana2405]

One of if not the best renditions of this Raga and Kruthi. Absolutely amazing. This is my yardstick of perfection to render a short ragam and tanam and also for accompanying the main artist. Akkarai Subbalakshmi is truly the best of carnatic violinists ever. TMK Sir, as always, is the star of the show. His unparalleled Manodharma shows his level of expertise and experience singing each swara in each raga that he sings. Beyond incredible. Shame that it's the same person that happens to occasionally spit useless drivel in the form of political and other sorts of comments.

[@sankarannamboothiri5225]

Krishnaaji, this art is our own culture, your performance is so very good 😊👍👌💐

[@VaibhavTipnis]

The fluidity in his singing!! Just too good!

[@lakiradha]

Requesting first edition arts to upload to more of TM Krishna

[@sunny005ism]

Saint TMK. Saint tyagaraja...salvation to us all

[@arunnarayanan750]

Beautiful Composition and Beautiful Rendering , Thanks FEA

[@ramaswamiannaswami9129]

Excellent rendition and superb violin support by Akkarai

[@sharadaarkalgud5693]

A feast for ears.

[@rakshitm9426]

No words Mr TMK ..genius

[@balajivenkat299]

Heartfelt gratitude Sir ! Gratitude !

[@gopalakrishnaguru4973]

Very nice 👌performance 👏

[@noneedforthis259]

Sir, I am waiting for your rendition of kanthamani....

[@tejasnair3399]

Noneed Forthis aha, truly an interesting ragam harmonically! It really goes to show that if you want to understand why a raga works STUDY HARMONY! 😁

[@SamaGaana]

Blissful! Want to listen to this live!

[@feynman96]

Why isn't this ragas more popular? it is beautiful! Or is it TMK who makes it special?

[@MadhuRaman77]

Shashank Anand have the same question, it’s so beautiful. Never heard this raga before

[@AnoopKashyap]

Raga popularity is usually directly proportional to the number of compositions in it (there are exceptions of course). Simhavahini has only a couple of compositions.

[@layakahmed8586]

So good tm krishna garu

[@abhaytonangi]

At 8:09, when he slips into the composition, smoother than butter!

[@raesh100]

Combination is SUPER

[@lakiradha]

The best

[@sasi.ppulikkasseri7580]

[@maniprakash7734]

Superb classical

[@maniprakash7734]

Fortunate enough to listen these

[@durlavboruah4034]

Cool

[@maheshyadavalli1560]

Bliss !!!

[@vasansrimattirumalapeddint8521]

It kind of sounds like srasaangi (in my opinion)

[@meeragopalakrishnan8417]

It is sarasangi janyam

[@ShreyasGowri]

It is only one note away from sarasangi. Simhavahini doesn’t have the rishabham in the ascent.

[@laharil1657]

Suburban ma is great

[@laharil1657]

Subbu ma is grt

[@sudhirhebbar7363]

This raga doesn't have scope to sing in this pace and for eloberation. In vilambaa it start resembling other ragas like nalinakanti and looses it's identity. If there was a scope trinities would have composed compositions.

[@maniprakash7734]

Too much of " ptch" appreciating sounds in videos is disturbing.

[@maheshyadavalli1560]

It is less often in this video compared to his other videos. But that is their way of expressing how great the sangathi/gamakam etc was. Moreover, this is a live recodring, not a planned recording session where technicians take care of those unwanted noises.

[@geetha1959]

Not going to Karnataka for congress campaign?

[@cibiraj1275]

lol

[@meeragopalakrishnan8417]

Has that anything to do with music here?

[@hariramkumar94]

Love him as a musician!
