They were supported by Akkarai Subhalakshmi on violin, Praveen Sparsh on mridangam and BS Purushotham on kanjira.

Kudos to T M Krishna for giving the pride of place to the majestic nadaswaram. Hope we get more such shows from other artists too.

[@FirstEditionArtsChannel]

Anantheeswaran Iyer we at First Edition Arts are doing a big 3-day festival called CUSP in Luz House, Mylapore, Chennai. On Day 1 we are having the mridangam player Praveen Sparsh performing with his troupe, A Carnatic Quartet. Included in this line up are violin, nadhaswaram and tavil. If you live in Chennai, please come and encourage these young musicians. The festival is on January 31, February 1 and 2.

[@reddevil1417]

Kaleeshabi's music is electrifying! That introduction to Dvijavanthi had TMK excited like a kid in a candy store :) And that Sahana...Ufff...A real treat, thanks again @First Edition Arts Channel :)

[@rakheeshenoy7007]

Gautam Kutty I agree wholeheartedly.

[@kalavathyranganathan4678]

I agree!!!

[@tejasnair3399]

The greatest carnatic singers have learned to project as the nadhaswaram does, yet another considerate move by TM Krishna! ♥️

[@r.radhakrishnan3501]

What an amazing combination! "Jugalbandhi" of voice & Nadhaswaram. Jugalbandhi of religions. Jugalbandhi of gender. Hats off to T.M.Krishna.

[@manishravi8665]

It feels as if experiencing a beautiful rainfall on a summer day... The unexplainable beauty of the music tends to sway my mind away...

[@drkrsna]

Best moment 41:29 TMK stunned by the typical naayana sangathi by Smt Kaleeshabi , which has inspired every great musucian from time immemorial. Nadhaswaram and Veena are two eyes for carnatic music. Thanks First edition

[@malavikaganesh9970]

It was a goosebump moment!!! 🔥

[@nkrama]

Just pure magic. One of the very best collaborations I have been privileged to watch and listen to. Smt. Kalishabi and Subbalakshmi’s Sahana is a divine treat. TMK and Sri Mehboob lead the way and hand the baton over to these magical set of artistes. Sri Raga and “endaro mahanubhavu”, a fitting tribute to all of these wonderful performers

[@Rajan34615]

Music is divine, there is no better communal harmony than this! Well-deserved Padma Shrees. I don't see any reason why TMK is being ostracized..!?

[@venky1973]

He should do all the reforms but without hurting anyone. This is only a request.

[@sivakumarvakkalanka4938]

Thanks so much for posting this. Sneakily listening to this at work with the volume turned down :) . Pleasasantly surprised to see the usual hate comments missing ( so far ) .

[@adarshdatt]

Fantastic!! Magic of tmk and the nadaswaram felt like a real aradhana to thyagaraja swamy with this Krithi. @FEA awaiting the complete concert. As always you guys are the best in this circuit, covering music concert in audio visual glory.

Kaleeshbee --no doubt is a legend. No match for her notes in Nadaswaram. So wonderful performance of all the artists.

[@mgchandrakanth]

What a pleasing, devotional, spiritual, concert this has been. Nadaswara needs to be listen to, as it is the mangalavadya. Great compositions, great musicians, great performance. God bless them all

[@kausthubh_chandramouli]

Anyone else feel like Pravin's Mridangam tone and quality is different from before? It used to be more muffled and soft, whereas now it's more ringing and resonating...

[@raghavendarramesh1492]

It's the other type of mridangam named kuchi

[@anjupanch2694]

Yes, I felt the same way too

Hats off to first edition arts for such a quality content. The crew behind the sound has done commendible service in mixing the vocal and nadaswaram without loosing their essence.

[@RaghavendranRaman]

Yes I second that thought. Great technical team. Only thing that I wish is if a wireless mic was fit at the end on Nadaswaram itself it would have been an excellent music throughout. With static mic at the stage, the musical sound goes up and down due to the spatial mic. 👌

[@sridharseshagiri2514]

40+ mins drenched in nAdAnandam. What to say of that starting dvijAvanti by Smt. Kaleeshabi Mahaboob.. and the lovely saveri from Akkarai Subhalakshmi.. Prostrations to Mother Sarasvati who lives in the hearts of upAsakA-s of sangIta. Sincere thanks to FEA for organizing this and posting a recording.

[@yashbhardwaj4026]

Exactly! I am a student of North Indian classical music, but to my uncultured ears too, that dwijawanthi was the highlight of the whole concert. Each time she stopped on Rishabh, woah chills!

[@ramaprabhuprabhu337]

[@madhvamunirao.sandhyavanda40]

Initiative of great significance to revive the rasikatva of Nagasvara and maestros of Nagasvara of the present to receive the patronage, they richly deserve. I had requested Sri TMK for initiative of Veena concert with vocal accompaniment with aim and objective remaining the same. Great/Maestros of Veena and their Vidwath going unrecognised, honored and missing the patronage of all the stakeholders of Karnataka Samgita. Please accept my appeal to FEA for yet another Aikya special concert of Veena-Vocal with percussion support.

[@drkrsna]

Venna and nadhaswaram two eyes of carnatic music. We need to keep these alive and encourage them to thrive. Otherwise we will lose our identity.
