Here is the rendition of kshitija ramanam in devagandhari (with a lovely short alapana) by Sri Voleti Venkateswarulu. I think this kriti is also rendered by Dr. S Ramanathan. Let me check.

He used to run the canteen at Pachaiappas college Kanchipuram. Students got bored of idlis daily and refused to eat them one day. Next day, the "spoilt" idlies were "converted" into a dish called "masulipatnam uppuma" and the chutney made with oats was called "kakinada Chutney". It was an instant hit. DKJ used to say that CM musicians need to do something like this - old music with a new names ...

The idli anecdote was part of his lec-dem on Papanasam Sivan. He said 'Paattu pazhamaiya otti paadinaadhan adhukku madhippu, illena madhippu kadayadhu'. He used the idli story to say that even though it was transformed into another dish, the basic idli flavor still remained, and thats why it sold like hot cakes.

DKJ & DKP popularized some compositions of gaurIShankar sthApati, of which "vEnkaTEShanAthaM" in brindAvana sAranga and "guruvaruLum" (AbhOgi) are popular. Does anyone have any more renditions? I think AnjanEyam namAmyaham (darbAr?) was penned by him, as well?

Dear Rasikas

Please listen to this clip below.

http://rapidshare.com/files/115588649/1 ... b.mp3.html

It takes such a lot of guts (masculinity if I can call it) to sing at such a kalapramana with Palghat Mani Iyer on Mridangam. How well has DKJ sung. Its amazing..the kinda of Patanthara suddham that DKJ has while singing any keerthana. Purandara dasa to the recent composers like Sri.Madurai Srinivasan. I feel blessed to have even known about DKJ.

the amazing way in which he has sung shouldnt be a surprise at all,, for not everyone will get to sing with mani iyer and that is why he is dkj ... and also the fact is mani iyer was first of the greats to observe the inherent talents in youngsters of his time like dkj and kvn and he encouraged them a lot... i feel dkj was one of the very few musicians who had the capability to make a lighter krithi sound like a heavy piece with his beautiful imaginatine sangathis and azhuthamana sangeetham(an hallmmark of smt.dkp ofcourse)

Amen, Amen, Amen!!!

DKJ Sir could sing at any kAlapramANa with such clarity, azhuttam and abandon. Kulkarniji has posted his recording of Sri Venugopal's sadA nI pAda which is a majestic piece in 2 kalai chaukam. The same man could sing this and then reel of a razor-sharp, super fast amba vANi and lock horns with LGJ in a swara duel while maintaining a steady flow of balEs and bEshes!!! :-) An amazing vidvAn - our loss that he passed away way too early.

Prashant - How right you are.

The kalapramanam at which he sings 'Devi Brova Samayamithe' or a 'Ranganayakam' just enthralls me. On the other hand, like this 'marivera', just comes out with so much authority.

I don't know if you have listened to this commercially released concert (with lalgudi and vellore) of DKJ. He would have sung his hallmark "Sree Mahabala" in ragam Saranga malhar. The depths he would have plunged and the heights Lalgudi would have reached during the alapanai was enthralling. And so was the swara prastharam. The concert ended in a lovely lovely DKJ rendering of Lalgudi's Mohanakalyani Thillana.

Hail DKJ.

I have a superfast Kalyanarama in Hamsanadam with Raghu Sir's accompaniment. The swaras with such precision at such a high speed is something in itself !!. Immediately in succession, one must listen to his Arunachalanatham in a very relaxed vilamba kalam, sung with the same effortless precision, to really appreciate his mastery over various kalas. For intermediate speeds, his Shri Raghuvaraprameya or Raksha Bettare are good examples I can think of.

Wow cool, thanks again...

Is this video from Kalakshetra? I don't know any other place where you can have an outdoor concert like that with birds cooing (like during the Kaligiyunte!).
If that is JV putting tambura, then wow, he looks REALLY young in that.

I dont recognize the violinist, is it V. Thyagarajan?

thanks cienu, looks like I'm getting better at this.. i guessed it was V. Thyagarajan based on the resemblance to Nagarajan and Papa.

The other thing to observe is that even with one mike, look how balanced the sound is naturally. The balance gets screwed up when we introduce amplification and all that.
