[@padmakumar6081]

He himself is immersed in his voice...no in the divine spirit of music.When he sing no song and singer... Song and singer melt into one...Advaita

[@sandeepkalathimekkad4771]

Lost in the noises they call voices Then resonates again languid MDR Then you realise the closest lump Of glowing dust to sun's hot lust Is reason for a poet to compose His verse thus in grave grammar Then sung with that same ardour Rare is such a lamp in such cold Dead darkness, hence the width Where notes are all noteworthy And pauses with pensive poise Thus unraveling wisdom's depth.

[@shrikhar]

Superb!

[@anuradhakrishnan4406]

Lovely !

true.. well understood and expressed.. that too such a profound divine genius difficult to capture in words...🙏🙏

[@josephthommy4888]

I’m very lucky to watch this concert live

[@ganeshpn6916]

Just five concerts I could attend. But the words he spoke to me still remembered. Glad to see this video

[@pgn4nostrum]

No defects... ✍🏻✍🏻 the perfect lyrics ... Raag... Bhaav bhakti.... MDR sir... 🙏🏻🙏🏻✍🏻🙏🏻

[@sivaramanv.s.6043]

MDR the genius has no comparison. His unique way of singing is something wonderful. His Rethigowala, I challenge nobody sing "PARIPALAYAMA* I forget myself likewise in Sahara , Husein etc. What a synchoranising of sruti. Perfection personified...He is not for masses but for know led gables. UNIQUE MUSICIAN NOBODY TO REPLACE HIM..THOUGH HE WAS THE DICIPLE OF TIGER VARADACHARY, HE EXCELLED HIM.

[@srinivasanjeya]

indeed sir, he is a musician's musician.... not for novice..

[@sankarramanathan690]

Reminds me of Thomas gray. Full many a gem of purest ray serene The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear Many a flower is born to blush unseen And waste its sweetness in the Desert air. MDR can create poets just by singing.

[@srirangamr933]

wonderful. there is nobody who could sing soulfully like the great MDR :)

[@krrahulraghavan9495]

Ranganathan Sir Thank You So Much . I am a staunch fan of MDR

[@krisnalove7576]

What i just saw here was pure completion. 100 Percentage. There is nothing left to express.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@ravichandransr3434]

A musical genius 🙏

[@akhilpattamatta3626]

They say old is gold. Can we get to hear such musicians today?! See his expressions. That dedication to nada. He is a rishi. These invaluable treasures will continue to be discovered by budding yogis of ages to come and then his music will shine more than ever.

[@tmadanmenon]

M D Ramanathan was so unique by his style of singing... with extremely deep, booming voice totally different from his appearance and rendered songs at very slow pace, thus the audience can catch every phrase of a composition and gauge its meaning. Class rendition of the Dokshitar kriti - 'budhamaasrayaami satatam' in nattikurinji ragam. Presented a wonderful Charanam, and the swarakalpana . Pranams to the soul of erstwhile maestro MDR. Reminded of the Swathi Thirunal Kriti - 'jagadIsha sadA.. mAmava paavana ' in the same ragam .

[@vishnushanbhogue7882]

While Listening MDR another GRT artist comes to my my mind...Ustad Amir Khan...

[@blenditlikethat9158]

Vishnu Shanbhogue Agreed

[@climbeverest]

umayal sir looks so young, look at the gentle touch of his mridangam, incredible.

MDR Mama with other Maestros ! What more one can ask for ! Budhamasrayami Ragam natakuranji jumpa Talam Muthuswami Dikshotar Krithi This is the 4th Navgraha Krithi on Planet Mercury Angaraka, the son of Shiva and Earth, as 'born of Earth' Constellations Gemini and Virgo Symbolic of the intelligence and wisdom of Budha P budhamASrayAmi satatam suravinutam chandratArA sutam || I seek refuge in the planet Mercury always. He is adored by Devatas. He is the off-spring of the moon and Tara. AP budhajana vEditam bhoosurairmOditam madhura kavitApradam mahaneeya sampadam || Scholars respect him. Learned people are delighted by him. He bestows talent in producing sweet poetry and prosperity. C kumkuma sama dyutim guruguha mudAkrutim kuja vairiNam maNimakuTa hAra kEyoora kankaNAdi dharaNam kamaneeyatara midhuna kanyAdhipam pustaka karam napumsakam kinkarajana mahitam kilbishAdi rahitamSankara bhakta hitam sadAnanda sahitam || Planet Mercury is bright with saffron colour. Guru Guha is delighted to see his form. He is enemy of Kuja Graham. His ornaments are gem-studded crown, armlets, bracelets etc. He is the lord of Gemini and Virgo Rasis (constellations). He holds book. He belongs to neuter gender. His servitors respect him. He is devoid of sin. He is benefactor of Siva's devotees. He is ever cheerful. A raga that is most suited for bringing out sringara and karuna rasas is Nattakurinji. A pleasant raga, its phrases are very graceful and when handled tastefully, this raga can be quite a treat. Mostly suited for singing in the evenings, Natakurinji is easily identifiable owing to its unique Aarohana-Avarohana pattern. A derivative of Harikambhoji scale (28th Melakarta), Natakurinji features the Sadja, Chatusruti Rishabha, Antara Gandhara, Suddha Madhyama, Pancama (on rare occasions), Chatusruti Dhaivata, and Kaisiki Nishada. The order of notes in ascent is usually SRGM / NDN / PDNS, (sometimes SRGMDNS) the jagged pattern adding spice to the arrangement, and in descent SNDM / GMPGRS happens to be the natural flow, although SNDMGS also finds place. Natakurinji accommodates two types of Aarohana and Avarohana patterns. Natakurinji is best heard than written about, as is the case with music in general! In Classical music, several special pieces, including ‘Manasu Vishaya’ by Tyagaraja, ‘Budhamasrayami’ by Dikshitar extolling the virtues of the planet Mercury, ‘Parvati Kumaram’, once again by Dikshitar, occupy places of pride. ‘Nachai Vidavakura’ of Mysore Vasudevachar, the varnam ‘Chalamela’, and the Tamil kriti of Oothukadu Venkatakavi ‘Paal Vadiyum Mugam’, are spirited and attractive.

What a majestic voice

[@bgraju7031]

the music very soothing repeated listening is a must

[@raveendranmadappattu5881]

Rarest of rare collections!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a great blessing for those who have not been fortunate to see the great MDR Sir or attend his concerts live. Kodi pranam for sharing this video, Ranganathan Sir. Look where the microphones are placed. That is the peculiarity of his sound, and rendering style. The violin and mridangam maestros enhanced beauty to MDR's performance.
