This rendition brings out all the bhakti and emotions of the song that would make Dikshitar proud. TMK clearly has put all that he has got in every note, pushing himself to the limits emotionally and physically which moves and directly touches the audience. The "gap" was him collecting his energies, thoughts, emotions before unleashing it again musically. I was waiting in anticipation and bated breath, as did he co-artistes on stage who were also clearly moved as well. While the "gap" may be unorthodox, the comments on its inappropriateness is profoundly misplaced.

[@anuragshanker9696]

I have always found such a stand out seperation in TMKs performance of krithis. He is really trying to explore the depths of the subliminal nature of the composition and its place within the raga through his own vulnerable and exploratory nature. Truly moved to tears in certain parts of this rendition.

[@kalpanarangachari7606]

This rendition brings theflowing river to the mind's eye Can confidently say that this is a musical expression of the flowing Ganga or Cauvery in all their grace & serenity What a singer!

I wish I could hit the like icon for each audio-visual moment of most of his concerts, especially those presented by FEAC. Yeoman service to music and music fans. Thankful, deeply so.

[@subukaundinya4007]

Enjoy the music for what it is. Not for sharing with some friends, for likes, not for measuring any rendition based on your knowledge. All these are nice if you have something to offer. Otherwise refrain from generslly grabing the mic because it is accessible. There are too many voices in this world that are not expressed, not all the expressed voices are meaningful. I think this is a terrific rendition by the team...

Thank you and congrats for your excellent concert keep it up I need more if you believe in God it may bless🙏

Would be lovely to have a chat with TMK about this krithi and Yamuna Kalyani and the million intricacies in this rendition, including the original notations used[ likely]. That would be a treat which only his Shisyas and co-artistes have got! Maybe a LecDem if we are all lucky enough?

[@shalinivastarev2779]

D K Jayaraman s rendition of the same song is very nice full of Bhakti and very melodious

[@amoghk.m.6769]

I agree that there is a failed experiment or two (maybe the almost-nerival and whatever tadarananana he does at anirvachaneeya nada bindo to disturb the flow of the kriti) in this rendition, and there is definitely a lapse of musical judgement. There is, however, nothing preposterous about him having giving it a go. The rest of the composition- it felt beautiful. The sensitivity of TMK's accompanying artists-- especially, Vid. Akkarai Shubhalakshmi and Vid. Arun Prakash-- makes this rendition touching. Those comparing this rendition to those of Vid. DK Jayaraman and the other musicians who refer Vid. DKJ's notations must be mindful of differences the same composition can embody across baaNis. Here, in particular, we should be mindful of TMKs adherence to the SSP when it comes to Deekshitharu's kritis (which is probably as close to the original composition as it can get).

[@kewlking]

+1. Could not agree more with you. Wish however that they had edited away the part from 13:00 - 14:47, prioritizing the composition and performance over the performer.

[@YashRakeshGawade]

A respectable opinion worded elegantly 🙏. I, for one, found this rendition to be resoundingly majestic and extremely memorable. The reason for this reply to you is about the point you make about 'Anirvachaniya Nada Bindo'. I think that part is one of the highlights of this performance and many other fellow viewers have appreciated it. It is quite beautiful in its own way. Krishna's personal and unorthodox touches are one of the things that make him a unique artist. It reminds me of Pandit Kumar Gandharva of the Hindustani tradition who was also known for similar experimentalism. I am not comparing them at all of course, please do not misunderstand 🙏. Finally about the 'almost neraval' comment, as per my observation, Ragam Yamuna Kalyani is almost always sung in such a manner. It is sung with mostly sangati based expansion. Very rarely you see a full fledged Neraval and Kalpanaswarams in this Ragam. It would have been a treat if Krishna had done that but it's fine enough. I think the best way to describe T. M. Krishna and his music is 'quite odd but hauntingly beautiful'.

​@@FirstEditionArtsChannel That's a flippant remark to a valid point of feedback. Also Google or KZbin search does not prioritize descriptions as much as it does titles. Insulting instead of thanking the person for their feedback, demonstrates very poor attitude and utter lack of character.

[@sreekrishnasaikolipaka7020]

I found Sikkil Gurucharan's rendition more connecting. TMK may be technically superior or something but his renditions are difficult to keep our focus and devotion with especially for novices in technicalities of carnatic music contradicting his own idea of taking carnatic music to the masses.

[@sreekrishnasaikolipaka7020]

When I share this with my friends, it elicits the usual reply of this being boring and lengthy. They may be wrong but we gotta respect FoE 🙃. Many see beauty in the way he renders the raga but for someone who's not deep into technicalities this definitely should seem boring.

[@shravanravishankarkousik9491]

@Shreyas K Agreed! IMHO, his best rendition of this composition was in the film 'One'. It was a visual treat as well.

[@avinashchalam]

@@sreekrishnasaikolipaka7020 I understand what you mean. But, my personal opinion is that, when his slow moving phrases and the beautiful improvisations meanders through the alapana, thanam and pallavis, the real essence of the raga truly shines through. His music elicits emotions in me and that is art to me.

[@AnoopKashyap]

I don't think one is 'technically superior' over the other. Each artist makes an aesthetic choice on how they sing, few sing it slowly, many sing in madhyamakala. It's completely fine if you like one over the other. Also if you listen to what TMK says about art 'reaching the masses', he says it's only the duty of the artist to take his/her music to the masses, the masses may completely reject the music and that is okay as well.

[@sixthsense66able]

@@sreekrishnasaikolipaka7020 I think the beauty of TMK's music is that without going into ANY technicality, without knowing anything about any raaga, his music is mesmerizing. You don't have to share with your friends if you don't appreciate it. I feel sorry for your friends. His idea was not to take music to the masses, per se, I would say, but to break a monopoly that exists in this field, and expose it to the masses. Whether or not they like it should NOT be any artist's concern. To his eternal credit, TMK went beyond that concern and we listeners have benefited immensely. I agree with Shreyas K, though I lack his expert knowledge. Once TMK has transformed a composition, difficult for others to match it, to my ears and emotions.

[@sj-8365]

Mr.TM Krishna can explore the Raga to his heart's content but certainly this style of concert does not evoke devotion in the listener as it is originally meant to.These compositions are divinely inspired. Accomplished carnatic singers like Krishna must remember to pay homage to the composer which is very sadly missing in his style of concerts.

[@pranavkaushik8925]

Though there is a miniscule of truth in ur statement, ur very far from truth. Tmk's rendition of jambupathe is most authentic with respevvt to sangeetha sampradaya pradarshini. Each minute gamaka included. He has preserved music better than the entire community of musicians. He goes overboard in some places. Thats true maybe
