Tribute to Sri Nedunuri Krishnamurthy by Sri Lalgudi G J R Krishnan and Sri Abhishek Raghuram

Every time I listen to Vid. Nedunuri Krishnamurthy's music, it casts a spell on me. The striking beauty of every single note or phrase he sang, the camaraderie he shared with so many artists, the passion and verve with which he presented his art -- they will continue to inspire musicians and students of music generation after generation. Vid. Lalgudi GJR Krishnan and I present a humble tribute to the maestro on the occasion of his 94th birthday. I profusely thank GJR Anna for accepting to do this concert with me. We had a great time reminiscing about the music of Nedunuri Sir and learning the compositions tuned by him. We hope you will enjoy this presentation.

सुमधुरगानामृतेन संगीतसम्राट् श्री नेदुनूरिमहाशयं अभिषेकं कृतवन्तौ युवां अभिषेक महोदय! धन्यवादाः। शुभाभिनन्दनानि

[@maheshram7844]

From that brilliant start with Shankarabharanam to the lilting beauty of Adideva, you have both brought forth the beauty and charm of the great man's music. What a lovely tribute...saved for posterity!

[@kalyanaramanraman9145]

We had performed bhajans arranged by Sri Nedanuri Guru Garu. After bhajan, from 9.30 pm to 2 am he sang many Ramadasar kritis for us . Great Mahaneyaru. Pranams to Sri Guru Garu. So simple easily approachable . We were blessed.

[@laya0srinivas]

As a Mridangam student and artist I should say I missed a mridangam here but laya sudhamana singing and violin made the silence so rhythmic. This is Brilliant my take to be around during my office hours. Can we get more of this combination ? Specifically Badrachala Ramadasar kirtis

మృదంగం లేక పోవడం అసలు తెలియనే లేదు.ఇద్దరు విద్వాన్ లు అంత చక్కగా perform చేశారు❤️

[@bhagavanhnbhagavan6994]

Just a glimpse of how great the concert would be if Abhishek and GJR combine!

[@ekrao7966]

Sri Nedunuri was unparalleled in the delightful way he made the ragam permeate every composition with sweetness. Thank you both 🙏 for showcasing his genius. Aaha, adbhutam.

[@nammanur]

So beautiful. Both singing of Abhishek Raghuram and the violin by GJR Krishnan which is also singing. I really wish Krishnan played more accompaniment to vocalists as he enhances the quality of the output by several folds with those Lalgudi touches. Tribute to Nedunuri couldn't have been done any better.

[@joji2907]

Very devoted dedicated tribute. What a selection of songs and blend of vocal and violin melted the heart. Stay blessed.

[@hariharasubramonys299]

Words cannot describe how beautiful your music is Abhishek Raghuram and G J R Krishnan. In time to come people will describe you two as the geniuses of this time.

I am very grateful to you; hope you could do many more of these. Dr Sringeri Chandrashekar
