Note:
This is normally referred to as the "airport concert"- It took place in the vicinity of the Tambaram airforce base and you could hear the jets passing by, even a Douglas DC-3 (Dakota) In the 1970s I recall "The Hindu" used to own 2ea DC-3s and they were housed at Meenambakkam.

[@ramachandranl2485]

Class of different level What a combination Melodious அனுசரனையான மிருதங்கம் Which current days artists should strictly learn Nowadays the mridangams mostly irritate( they make noise of high decibel spoiling our hearing faculty) Sorry to make this which is true Kudos. to the opportunity provided

[@JagannathVijayan]

Such an iconic concert! Mukhari out of the world. Sankaran mama god level.

[@carnaticcentre277]

Audio quality is outstanding

[@srinivasanchanniga]

Please clarify which year was this concert if available. O course you have said 70s.

[@shrikhar]

Undoubtedly one of the the best concerts one can come across.

[@wellwisher537]

Blissful! After.... 55 years...! Can't thank enough the artists and all those involved in recording, preserving and posting here!

[@pushpathangali4122]

lalgudi 's accompaniment is absolutely melodious.Trichy sankaran is also very supportive.Semmangudi inspired these vidwans to be at their best!

[@raghul2k]

What a wonderful concert. All of Sri Semmangudi's all time hits in one concert. Each and every song has the SSI stamp, steeped in raga bhaava with progressive rendition of sangathis. And appropriately placed neraval and swara passages. Great listening and learning experience!

[@raghul2k]

What a great concert. Ahaaa.. every song gets better than the previous. Nice thing is all the songs are fairly well known to the average listener. The marubalka crescendo at the anupallavi is an unique experience. The accompaniment was of the highest order, highest. Masters of their respective art. Thank you sir.

[@MridangamRohit]

So true and sankaran mamas majestic playing is always a treat to rasikas ears especially his misra nadai sollu in anupallavi or charanam is always a bliss and mamas right left balance and the ghumki, sarvalaghu is a bliss one can keep listening to sankaran mama everyday and the enthusiasm to listen will always be the same :)

[@krishnakumarts123]

Superb SSI, Trichy sankaran, Lalgudi and Ks Manjunath sirs - all Maha Vidwans - Amazing combo and each one a master…SSI choice of masterpieces in cutchery is superb !!!

[@bharathysubramanian1943]

Oh what a wonderful names ending lastly with the word ‘Gudi’ Viz., Sri Chemmangudi in vocal music, Sri Lalgudi with his beautiful violin play and Aalangudi performing the rhythmic ‘mrudangam!!! It’s indeed unique!!! - “M.K. Subramanian”.

[@srinivasanchanniga]

Alangudi is not the Mrudangam player. He is playing the Ghatam. It is Thiruchi Sankaran playing the Mrudangam..

So Divine and Bliss....

The songs sung in this cd are wonderful and worth hearing again them and again and gives immense pleasure to all who hear. Divine. Chemmangudi Sri Srinivasa Ayyar lived in our life-time and words are inadequate to praise his singing abilities. Beautiful selection of songs. - “Mandakolathur Subramanian.”

shrIkAnta nIyeDa is a classic of the Semmangudi school. There is a wonderful recording I cannot find of SSI-LS-UKS with this item. Very distinct from this rendering, Mama in a different mood each time but brilliant in both! I've also heard Sri TMT render this with sowkhyam.
