If there is God here He is! in Sri MDR 's music !

[@rkrishna1965]

I never heard Endaro with neraval as well as kalpana swaraprasthara. Thanks for the upload Shri Raj.

[@samyamaacademyofyoga9960]

By far the best Endaro I have heard. Being among my favorite compositions, I have listened to almost every leading artist rendering this. Yet, MDR surpasses everyone, in my opinion, by a distance. Absolutely unhurried and elegant; feels as though the music is urging him to render while he takes his time... Deep gratitude for uploading these gems. You are rendering great service to music listeners. Thank you.

[@VinayakVRBPHC]

Hear Balamurali, Chembai's versions of endaro... You will seriously consider your opinion of this being the best ever...

[@rajagopalacharisrinivasan5335]

True and excellent comments.

[@suseelakumar7917]

This layavinyasom[elegant word for uncouth Thani coined by Shri M Chandrasekaran saar]is a testimony to Shri TVG's love and respect for eMDeeyaaR; he poured his Thripunithura heart for his friend Manjapra Devesha Ramanathan as his fellow Keralite from Chalakkudi [now town] man "Narayanaswami" listened on !!! ha ha ...

[@suseelakumar7917]

Shri Chalakkudi never got the accolades he richly deserved while living; being a Kerala-native living in some distance from Madras[nowadsay'a Chennai] did not help him achieve them. But -- he lives for ever in the minds of serious rasikas.

[@koncheriunnimenon9575]

I am a banker by profession, but love Carnatic music. MDR is incomparable, a true Naadopaasaka. None can reach his Bhava or the tranquility while rendering. Even a layman can pick each and every word of the lyric, as it was his habit to sing in his own unique slow pace. In this fast paced world of quickies with Twenty Twenty cricket and Chetan Bhagat's fiction, his music takes us back to the era of 5 day Test cricket and Leo Tolstoy's novels. The faithful followers to his unique style of music is increasing, because like all maestros he was versatile and transcends time & generations to come...Thanks a lot Mr.Namboodiri for making this available, I am blessed by your effort.

[@rajasbt]

yes ,,he is the one only musician i have ever seen as a honest to his mind while singing,,may be our well known present singers i doubt ,little bit add a sort of techniques to impress audience...mdr....i can say..the only man who always sing for dedication..

[@sudhakarartphotography9223]

MDR has squeezed every drop of nectar from the raga...

[@ashrithharith3474]

Very true

[@sunildutt7275]

Only one mdr

[@chetankumar-on7jj]

The Sahitya Vinyasa was mind blowing. MD Ramanathan was truly a great musician.

[@gopakumar87]

My generation is so unfortunate that we could never hear him live.

[@pskaranth]

The best singing of Endaro Mahabhavulu, I have ever heard. No singer can beat this rendition 🙏🙏🙏

[@sunildutt7275]

Congratulations

[@jayasimhakuggimedunagaraj6134]

i cannot forget his mesmerizing concerts even after 35 years.

[@carnaticcentre277]

Great vidwan, chalakkudy Narayana Swami. Nice to hear his violin.

[@suseelakumar7917]

Shri TVG is a singer making his easily repeat the song phrases, words, syllabi in pure fashion on his mridangam which was self-taught!

[@SkandaTejasw]

One of the most sublime renditions I've heard!!

[@sraghunath7423]

The 'neraval' starting at 38:45 is out-of-the-world!

[@rmgnair]

Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No words can explain the brilliance of this greatest aritst, the great MDr Sir. Never heard any other musician singing, past, present or future this brilliantly. I might have heard this performance more than 25 times.

[@dhakshan]

38:46 the most unexpected moment in the history of Carnatic music

[@sanjaygollamudi7197]

true

[@adithyaashok6343]

Really

[@padmakumarl4935]

it is not music in the mere sense but it is philosophical music that it transcends samsara., what a bhava!

[@jackskankojam]

MD ramanathan sir is the real gandharvan what a powerful and soothing voice

[@arkay292]

The Neraval in Endaro is sublime and unsurpassable. The way TVG has accompanied is absolutely incredible. Both MDR and TVG had a soul connect.

[@nimnit]

Fantastic rendering. What a great exhibition of manotharma style of singing ! The bhava of MDR while singing " EndarO" is particularly mind blowing and amazing. Absolutely mesmerizing total bliss for the full 58 minutes

[@ajaisharma844]

So full of rasa.. love TVGs accompaniment, Modern style is much lighter on drum

[@26jyothiramesh]

The best ever heard till date. 👌👌Thanks for posting

[@grsrathnam5335]

I bow my head with all humility and most respect before his atma. I never heard such rendition of this raga. I listen with most devotion and respect. Marvellous. I find short of words. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@konalisa123]

MDR sir is Mahaanu Bhavulu..... That is all I can say....

[@kidambikasturi4992]

Simply superb and brilliant kasturi blr

[@psychesp]

The best presentation and exploration of Endaro. Wonder why 24 people dislike this. To each his own I guess.

[@ramsubramaniank.sathyanath8322]

Superb sublime rendition of Sreeragam by the great vidwan Sri MDR. Excellent team. TVG in his elements. Thanks for the upload 🙏

[@melarcodeseshadri]

He lived for Carnatic music alone

[@shyamravidath]

This is my all time favorite!

[@raveendranmadappattu5881]

The Ultimate rendition in Sree raga. It is the great great MDR Sir. The accompanists have attributed greatly to the beauty of the rendition. I haven't heard the krithi so beautifully presented by any other musician ever!!!!!!

[@rajagopalacharisrinivasan5335]

I am really very fortunate. I had the opportunity of hearing his direct concerts at Chitrakootam Radha Kalyana Vaibhavam held in Nungambakkam some years ago. Very happy and pleasant memories.

ഇന്ന് രാവിലെ മാങ്ങാട് രത്‌നാകരൻ ഏഷ്യാനെറ്റിൽ അവതരിപ്പിക്കുന്ന യാത്ര പരിപാടി എം ഡി രാമനാഥ നെ കുറിച്ചായിരുന്നു. കവി സച്ചിദാനന്ദൻ അതിൽ പറയുന്നു, ഹിന്ദോള രാഗത്തിൽ സാമജ വരഗമന എംഡിആർ പാടുന്നത് കേട്ടപ്പോളാണ് ആ ഗായകൻ എത്ര വ്യത്യസ്തനാണെന്നു തിരിച്ചറിഞ്ഞതെന്നു. ഇപ്പോൾ ഞങ്ങളും അത് കേട്ടു. ഈ ലിങ്കിനു നന്ദി. This morning we watched Asianet News Yathra programme on MD Ramanathan. In it poet K Satchidanandan says it was when he first listened to Samaja Varagamana in Hindola by MDR he recognized how different he was from others. Thanks for this link, we listened to it with utmost attention, in silence.

[@carnaticcentre277]

സമൂഹത്തിൽ നിന്നും, മുഖവും, ടോണ്ടയ്ക്കും വൃത്തിയില്ല എന്ന് തള്ളപ്പെട്ട ഒരു മഹാ സംഗീത പണ്ഡിതനായിരുന്ന MDR. എന്നാൽ അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ കച്ചേരികൾ കേൾക്കുമ്പോൾ ഉള്ള. ഒരു സുഖം വേറെ തന്നെ an. അതിൽ യാതൊരു സംശയവും വേണ്ട.

[@venugopal2347]

[@dhakshan]

The recording is cut in certain places. Can u rectify that?

[@ashrithharith3474]

I love his balance and clarity. But I have a serious conflict of opinion - no body has the rights to add words into the works of the greats like Tyagaraja Swami or Dilshithar. In this Kruthi, he sings - (poorna)chandudu and has done similar things with Meenakshi Memudam Dehi } he would have added Rajamathanga (Thanaye). Nether of the words in the brackets are part of Sahityam right, I look at it as a Gayaka Dosha to do such a thing.

[@raveendranmadappattu5881]

You may be right from the perspective of traditional vocalists. MDR was quite different, he always tried to improve/refine the composition. If you hear his recitals, each time they are different, making each recitals unique, even for the same composition, one example is "Samaja Vara Gamana" in Hindolam. I am not an advisor. But, if you are hearing MDR for the first time or only a few times, make it a point to hear his recitals with utmost patience and as many times. The great MDR is probably one amongst the rare musicians who took pain to study the South Indian languages to gain more understanding and grasp of the "sahitya" or lyrics. You will understand that his small additions to each composition are the most apt, and has not distorted the meaning or intention of the composer of the "kriti" in any way. Many music lovers admired his depth of music and rendition style, and that is the reason why the great comments appear below this video. If you closely watch the program you could hear the "wow" gestures from the audience showing its great acceptance. MDR Sir has to his credit over 300 compositions in South Indian Languages and Sanskrit, and some are recited by great vocalists and have become popular.

[@ashrithharith3474]

@@raveendranmadappattu5881 namaste. After 3 years I’m happy to stand corrected in my opinion. I heard this one comment on him recently - when he sang he was completely with the composition, the composer and the deity to the fullest sense. More than anything MDR knew what he was doing, what might be wrong when others do is very appropriate and apt when MDR does this, at least I’m convinced why. No more complains 🙏🏻🙏🏻
