Mr. Coolkarni, Sir: I request you to upload the TKR-TNK-PMI concert with the following items:

1. Anandasagara-Garudadhwani
2. Nannubrova-Abhogi
3. Birana-Kalyani
4. Neebhakthi-Jayamanohari
5. Tillana-Jayanthasena

This is not available anywhere. Once Kalgada(Sarma)uploaded this per the previous posts. I don't think this is MA-66-Live as there is another one listed as 02-1-66-Ma-Live. Please post the above cited pieces, Sir. God bless you. If possible TMT-RTP-Hamsanadham and OST-Hamsanadham also, Sir.

Regards

P. G. Aiyar

Mr PG Aiyar

It will be quite appropriate if you make your requests and leave some time for the request to pass through our systems-before being answered.
Especially since you are not satisfied even if a small four minute bit is left out-from a 90 minute request.
Please go through your first request under post 80 .Now after I take the trouble to reupload it , you bring up this Ikha naina track from nowhere.
And Now as I was searching for this, you dont even leave 24 hours to remind us again.
Please Please go a bit soft on this kind of followup and rest assured that someone will be working on it.
Regards.

Dear Sir: Thanks for the upload of Ikanaina. I fully understand your views and was bitten by the bug of TKR's music and hence this nuisance of mine. I will be patient henceforth. I also understand you have a tight schedule in India. I thank you very much for the patience. May God bless you and your family, Sir.

Regards

In the recent concert of bharath kumar,Ashtika samAjam narasimhan in his usual speech always encourages the artist . But as usual in his trademark style he will recollect one of the songs and compare with an artist ,atleast 50 years back to his home town temple therezhendur near mayavaram.

While comparing the artist of today , his memories raced back to TK rangAchari's bhairavi in the same upachAramulanu and he said that TKR's bhairavi is simply too good. Any help or pointers(uploads, sangeethapriya) to know about TKR and his bhairavi is welcome . I wish Smt Neela rAmgOpAl can share her gnaanam of her guru TKR.Any old timers can also recollect about TKR.

Today is the Birth Centinary of Mahavidwan Sangeetha Ratnakara TK rangachari Avl.
His Nayaki niraval still lingering in my mind. His concerts with vocal support of his prime disciple Vairamangalam Lakshminarayanan were all memorable. Let us seek his blessings today.

Truly extraordinary musician , I am listening to him in the last few years beginning with his extra ordinary tatvameruga tharama in garudAdhwani , he is just too good. May I have access to the nAyaki niraval, if you have the same or pointers to sangeethapriya .

+1; a great musician; what a voice. He was one of the great musicians who could not get the slots in the prevailing golden generation of musicians.

TK Rangchari, Sattur Subramaniam and many other Annamalai university graduates (KS Narayanaswami (veena), ... ) had a same predicament. Annamalai university music department in 1930 - 40s can be thought of as equivalent of Stanford Univ in terms of the quality of grads.

* I just saw in the Hindu "centenary remembrance "insertion from his family.
* AIR has relayed his concert promptly today. Why the same concert is broadcast everyyear? :!:
*Why his name not included in this year's list of artists for centenary events? :( (Or have I not noticed!)
*I suppose We should transfer this thread to one under"Vaggeyakaras". I wish some of his disciples will popularise his thillanas &release his concerts. :^)
* What should I do to download of mediafire contained in this thread.It is not happening for me.

TKR's daughter Mallika telephoned me last December to mention about the centenary celebrations to be held in Chennai in 2012 December.She said 'ippove invite pannittom'. Her son Aswin,works in US,will be in Chennai to perform for the centenary.Shall post the programme details once I get it.

link to Aswin's website http://www.ashvinbhogendra.com/

Thank you , it is lovely, also nice to hear Tanjore Upendran in mrudangam. I have heard a recording of BMK singing the same two ragas as pallavi. Few years back when I heard Manakkal , I did spot a lot of overlap of manakkAl and GNB , similarly I feel TK Rangachari is having a lot of overlap with GNB. Unfortunately TKR passed away in 1979, a lull decade of CM.

There is quite a lot of info about TKR in this charsur link below

His 'Vagadeeshwari' alapana perhaps is the best one can hear and I doubt if anyone has come anywhere near it.
It is said that to develop a raga one has to assimilate/internalise sangathis in various krithis of that raga.
There is only one by Thyagaraja swami and hardly few by others. Yet TKR weaves a magical swaroopa of the raga
on a wide canvas. Mind bogling how he could do. Simply great :clap:
Pity that he did not get due recognition.

Dear all,

Please find in this youtube link (Thanks to the uploader) a wonderful Garudadhwani .. 2 minutes in to the kriti TKR takes off with swarm! the next 18 minutes is bliss.. With ragamalika swarm in kAnada and gAnamUrti … the way he gets back to garudadhwani is too good!

https://solvanam.com/?p=22892 a good write up by Arun Narasimman, long read, in Tamil.

Now to prove that an idle mind, at least at present, is a devils workshop - is that TMK the performer on that day?

TK Rangachari is an extraordinary vidwan, not an ounce of intense classicism is ever lost. His grandson DB Ashvin has written a nice pdf about the doyen

https://dhvaniohio.org/wp-content/uploa ... tenary.pdf

Also few great disciples of TKR which is a relevant snippet

"He trained many musicians including the late Vairamangalam Lakshminarayanan who accompanied him in several concerts spanning three decades. His other disciples included Neela Ramgopal, Neyyatinkara Mohana Chandran, Malini Kasturirangan, Jaya Krishnan, Palghat Ambi Iyer, and Sadagopan. Heis survived by five daughters and three sons "

Finally one grand son DB Ashvin is taking up pristine carnatic after his grandfather, after possibly no takers with 7 kids of TKR and may be all other grandchildren. I see one of TKR daughter Mallika Jayanth Kumar did take up some thing in cm ,not sure what that is.

On a sidenote Trichur Brothers paramaguru is TKR as their guru is Neyyatinkara Mohana Chandran
