Re: NADAYOGI LATE SRI M.S.G'S BIRTHDAY
Thank you Sri Nageswaran!
Mohana is sweetness personified.
BrindavanaSaranga (strictly Brindavani as there is no Ga) is dynamic.
KHP, Keeravani and Nalinakanti are spell-binding.
I remember a Nalinakanti of MSG and MSA that went on and on in Mysore in 1960s- a once-in-a-lifetime experience in a house concert!!!!
Thank you, sir. This is perhaps the best collection of clips I have heard in recent times of MSG.

Re: M S Gopalkrishnan
The things MSG could do with a violin -- God even Paganini couldn't have played on one string on one finger like that (ok we are comparing apples to cauliflowers, but still). He had every bow technique mastered -- even the ricochet. And his tone was something else too -- thick and rich like pure honey, the intensity and viscosity of sweet chocolate. Of violinists of those days, I would probably compare only Jascha Heifetz's skills to MSG's. Just the greatest. ever.
The last time I ever got to hear him live was in a concert at Ananta Padmanabhaswamy temple. He needed a chair by that point, but unmindful of the impact of age and health, in his brief alapana passages he sometimes made my hairs stand up with some sweet and simple phrases soaked in raga hues that showed me the whole raga in a new dimension in those brief seconds and I was like "What was THAT?!!"

Re: M S Gopalkrishnan
Dear Carnatic Music Connoisseurs,
NEVER compare Western Classical Violinists with Carnatic Violinists! Did Paganini play Carnatic Music or MSG play Western Classical Music?
Paganini was such a great Violinist & Composer in his own genre and our MSG stands high in our Carnatic Music. LEAVE AT THAT!
Why should one equate Jacha Heifetz to MSG? Again, I ask, did Heifetz play Carnatic Music or MSG play Western Classical Music?
Western Classical Music & Carnatic Music are like OCEANS! DON'T COMPARE THE TWO MUSICS or the musicians!

Re: M S Gopalkrishnan
Today Jan 03,2016- I saw in The Hindu where there was a notice of the great MSG given by his family on his death anniversary . I only had just one chance to hear his solo violin in Nungambakkam Cultural Academy(how can i forget his last dazzling fast tirruppugazh in hamsanandi and kamas jayathi jayathi, that day it was a bhairavi main). I have attended few of his concerts where he accompanied but i was too young then -cannot recollect that much now. Of course more than anything how can we forget maestro MS Gopalakrishnan when he came to our nageswaran sir's previous house in west mambalam.
Mods
Change his name to M S Gopalakrishnan , he is very much a carnatic gopalakrishnan musician even though he had forays into hindustani gopalkrishnan land. Add that a plus to his name

Sri MSG's 86th birthday
Namaskarams, all.
Yesterday (10-6-17) was the 86th birthday of our Guruji, Sri MS Gopalakrishnan, Naa bhootho, naa bhavishyathi.
It is impossible to forget his music, his demeanour, and his utter simpleness, humility.
Let us strive to emulate his perfection and perseverance.

Re: M.S. Gopalakrishnan
belated wishes
A magnificent Gladiator of our times , with a violin for a Sword.
Always arousing thunderous appreciation , teary feelings ( like here )
Precision of a tracer bullet
Softness of demeanour that belied the harshness of practice
A bridge between two banks , that many other could only cross , but not stay on for long , as he dared

Glory be !!

Re: M.S. Gopalakrishnan
A very delectable concert of Sri MSG and Sri TS in Cleveland 1975.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxOok6f-8dM
The announcements kind of reflects his outreach to who could be some unknown audience. The nalinakanti svarams are absolute delight.
