This is a reupload as I was missing the last 11 minutes of the concert. I thank Sreekanth Sampathkumaran sir for digitizing and sharing his copy (until the halfway mark of manamE rAmanai) and Raju Asokan sir for sharing his copy which had the full version.
Since today is the anniversary of this concert, I felt it was high time to reupload it. MDR's music just soothes the soul. His distinctive style contains so much intelligence, alacrity, depth and gurubhakti towards the past masters especially his own guru Tiger Varadachariar. His vilambit kAlam is a perfect antidote to our fast paced lives. Every krithi he has rendered here is sublime.
Many people I know lament that artists like him and Voleti Venkateswarulu never received the recognition and accolades during their lifetimes. But my reply to their anguish is they were beyond any award. They believed in and sang music for music's sake. And guess what? They are still remembered today. And like Voleti and Dr. Mangalampalli Balamuralikrishna, MDR was an inimitable trailblazer whose style can never be replicated, though Rama Varma can do a good impression!
Lalgudi and UKS are brilliant as always and uplift every moment. Shyam Sundar provides good support.
Here are some comments I'd like to preserve for posterity from the other upload:
HN Bhagavan, a notable rasikA and active participant on rasikas.org: Oh A Very energetic Concert indeed! Great accompaniments! Item 9 Sivananda lahiri is so moving and touching. Listened to this repeatedly!
Srikanth Hariharan, a fan of MDR and Dr. Sriram Parasuram: MDR the 🤴.
Mahadevan Parameswaran: Excellent concert.
kaippancheri krishnan Lakshmynarayanan: so mesmorizing
A rasikA from Kerala who goes by the name Sunil Dutt and wrote in Malayalam script: ഇതാണ് സംഗീതവും ആലാപനവും. ഇടയ്ക്കുള്ള തൊണ്ട ക്രമപ്പെടുത്താന് ഉള്ള ചുമ പോലും മധുരം. അതിലും സംഗീതം. ചുരുക്കി പറഞ്ഞാല് സര്വ്വം ശുദ്ധമായ സംഗീതം.
Smt. Kalavathy Ranganathan, an octogenarian rasikA and sishya of Ahobila Matham: WOW! What a voice!!! This is the first time i am hearing his clear voice.
Rajamani N V: This grand master should have been awarded sangeetha kalanidhi. he very much deserves highest awards.
Narayanakurup Kanthikumar, a septagenuarian rasikA from River Islands, California: This is the first time I am hearing the great man sing the Varali Ne pogdakundene. What swaroms! I first heard this song way back in 1981 in Manhattan when I listened to a tape by Ramnad Krishnan Saar. This lovely Khamash -- swanta sahityom -- is new to me. How beautiful! His takes on Khamash -- Sitapte -- is exquisite, I am proud that I have it in my collection. Brocheva is also there. Musiri mahavidwan and his prime sishya, my dear friend, Govindarao saar's great versions are in there too. This new song is indeed a treat. I salute the gentleman for the post. "Saraswati sarasavani sarasija bhavaniki rani Narstuti jeyakanannu bovavamma Kamadi sammardani Bhakta kama suposhini (Ambike!) Samadi Vinodini Samadi Sammodini vibhuhashani Sarasa"Varadadasa" poshini." How lovely Manipravalam(Sanskrit+Telugu) sahityom by the grandmaster musician himself!! The gaps filled brilliantly by Sri UKS and then -- Lalgudi saar. In the neraval characteristically MDR adds new words such as "Dushkami" to our delight. What a great singer the best of the best. Khamash at its very best! Pranams to his illustrious memory.
Long live this concert!
