Thanks for anticipating the clip request.
Sam
Have a Nice day.It was great watching your brother -today morning-teach his disciples and then prepare for a Concert with DurgaPrasad in the evening at Nanganallur.
Oh ! the sincerity with which a disciple learns from His Guru.
I am sure if the Guru had asked them to jump off the LIC building , they would have done it without batting an eyelid.

It was great to watch a Vidwan prepare his instrument for the evening.So Much care is taken with everything..

DRS- In the book "The HINDU Speaks on Music", there is an article on Asthana Vidwan Belakavadi Srinivasa Iyengar, published in Hindu paper on 04 Jan 1959
( Author- TB Narasimhachar). In this, it's mentioned that , I quote
" It may be pointed out that it was he ( Belakavadi) who set the tune for the popular Purandaradasa Devaranama "Jagadoddharana" in Kapi raga."

( It may also be mentioned here that Belakavadi has composed songs in all the 72 Mela ragas and won the prize of Rs 5,000/-(remember it's value 70 years ago) instituted by Mysore Maharaja. Belakavadi was a disciple of Veena Subbanna.)

That is very interesting Manju.

BTW- beLakavADi Srinivasa Iyengar(senior I presume as his son has the same name)- have his kRtis been published?

dEvi Sthuthi- A kannada book of 108 songs by Muthiah Bhagavathar is compiled by Belakavadi. I don't know whether it is by senior or by junior. I really don't know about his mela krithis. It will be interesting to know about his compositions, his mudra etc., Even Mysore Musicians have not popularised these compositions. RKS or Mysore Rama Ratnam are the right vidwans to tell us about Belakavadi's compositions.

K-ji

The DN concert is just brilliant, the violin is so sweet, thriving in the flute's company....12 minute Kapi alapana is Oh So Wow!

coolkarniji & padren68: thank you so much for the wonderful clips of Smt. gOpAlaratnam. What divine music, how much puNya she must have accumulated to be bestowed with abundant vidyA from the goddess of music. Please do post more clips (if you have) of her renditions.

Vidwans of thanjavur [ less known ]

Duraiappa bhagavathar: Gottu vadhyam vidwan. civil engineer turned artiste.

Mylattur Samy Iyer: Mirudhangam vidwan and f/o Ramachandran
mirudhangist and subramaniam violinist.

T.D. Sanakra Iyer: Violinst

Thanjavur Lakshmi naryanan : Known as thanjavur nanu younger b/o Lakshmi
Devaraja bhagavathar an harikatha exponent.
Intially were singing together and when his
brother took up harikatha started performing alone.
In early 50s karnatakam's review in kalki along with
Mali's cartoon was widely applauded .

L. Venkatesa Iyengar: He is known as musician's musician a disciple of
thanjavur Nanu. .
His disciple was radhakrishnan and nothing
known about him .

Pozhakudi Bros. Ganesa Iyer and Rama Iyer. Along with O.V. Subra
maniam and T.K. Rengachari were running a music school.

Udhaya Shankar joshi : A disciple of Ganesa Iyer, an expert in rare ragas.

Prema Also a disciple of Ganesa Iyer.

Since these Vidwans were opted to stay in thanjavur itself their identity is less known to music world. There are more artistes and I have brought in only few in this .
