I hv met her on 3/4 occasions and hd conversations with her ....no airs! Down to earth ...gentle human being.....

[@mrramaswamy7636]

I just want to add.....that am a senior ctzn music teacher based in Delhi , a postgraduate in Music , under TRS mama Delhi Univ.....but hvng a strong penchant fr GNB style of music.....so hv heard MLV Amma both in Del & Chnni. I hv gvn a few performances at Chnni too before 2005!

[@mrramaswamy7636]

MLV Amma ws equally at home with pure Carnatic / Film play back singing / Semi Classicals / Folk music / Bhajans / Abhangs / Tillanas & wht not ???...A rare quality among musicians!....& what a repertoire!

[@mrramaswamy7636]

Peronally witnessed Raga alaapana Mohanam 29! ...mnts.....fr a Chnni concert RTP Pallavi ....Kadaikkann vaithennai aalamma!.....still ringing in my heart.....with all gruhabhedas.....

Her intellectual band width was something extraordinary.

[@mrramaswamy7636]

Very well said she ws the only musician with an adventurous date devil attitude , but not compromising on our basic principles & rules.......I wd say she ws a walking talking library ...Colossus Genious Legend with immense contribution to the music field as such & yet a great human being......

[@mrramaswamy7636]

Finally , I liked wht she said in her 60th hbd Celebrations 1988......that one must respect all senior musicians!.....& take good points from all..... Guruvukku minjina Sishyai! Pranaams at her Lotus feet

[@mrramaswamy7636]

Can someone please explain what MLV amma was saying in her lec dem about the hindustani-carnatic debate ?

[@drkrsna]

To add, her inprovisation in Abhangs was the most suave of the lot. And the voice production and accent for abhangs were out of this world : kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnaVeZapmqZ_kKM

While the presenters did a great job, I felt they missed many nuances that someone like Sudha Raghunathan or Kanyakumari could have provided.
