Re: Brilliant musicians who couldn't climb further up the la
I think placing certain persons like MDR under this title category only EXPOSES THE UTTER IGNORANCE OF not only various organisations like M.A. ETC but the persons who are not objecting to it.. He does not need analysis & approbation frm ANY ONE. HIS MUSIC speaks for itself. If he was not given S.K. by the M.A. it just shows that either IGNORANCE or ABILITY to recognise the OBVIOUS. It must not be surprising because Mali& LGJ were not awarded the recognition at the PROPER TIME. ITS to the credit of Sri.Murali HE IS AT LEAST TRYING TO straighten OUT THE DOG'S TAIL....VKV

Kindly include TNR also in the list.

A more apt title would be Disgrace / Loss to Institutions who could not apreciate good music and honour artist at the appropriate time.
First in the list would be Music Academy (though they have done a tremendous service to the Art there has been a Huge failing or fall out)

The word famous is subject to perception based in this case at least on ILL CONCEIVED & IRRELELEVENT(MOSTLY) CRITERIA....May be: Brilliant but not fully recognised as such by public perception or words to that effect. VKV

Re: Brilliant musicians who couldn't climb further up the la
Listening to this piece is one of those rare times when time stands still.... the mark of a true artist. First she draws you in by sheer virtuosity and you stop thinking about other things. Next you are trying to guess what she is going to do next at every turn but she keeps surprising you at every step. Now you are hooked as surely as a fish on bait and cannot let go. Then the music pervades your being and you are on a cloud, not wanting to come down. Suddenly some forty minutes have gone by.mankuthimma wrote:http://www.esnips.com/doc/2c450358-a768 ... harmavathi
A great phase from a concert in Hubli , 17 years ago.Will come back with the name of the artists , if someone is interested 8)
Thanks again, Coolji.That was spectacular.

Ps. When the violin went to mantrasthAyi in the AlApana (somewhere in the vicinity of 8:45 and again around 9:40), there was a certain roughness that made it sound like a flute. Quite an interesting but fleeting effect. I had never heard it before.

It will be more apt to include that as well!

Thanks VK . We can squeeze in more worthy names now.
Pristine Veena . Will bring in the artist's name a bit later just to give the artistry an unconditioned look.

Re: Brilliant artists not fully recognized by the public&sab
Dear mankuthimma,
As someone who has benefitted immensely by several unknown people recording and archiving music, I must first of all thank you for all that you have done and continue to do.
My question in this thread is "what exactly is the problem with obscurity"? If some musicians are forced into dire circumstances because of economic reasons, it is one thing. But fame and fortune and public approval of thousands or hundreds or whatever the right number is for CM, anyway comes to very few, and that is probably how it will always be? That is why I would hope that the art thrives in many more forums than the concert stage and that rasikas can be found in places other than auditoriums. In fact, obscurity, forced or chosen, can play a big role in peaceful development of a style away from the public pressure of having to please instantly. Only strong minded or committed persons can probably do that, but there are enough people with that passion, I would think.
The modern concert/sabha/recording-industry type music is quite competitive and almost by its nature, very few can hope to make it big, so to speak. It is not just a sour-grapes statement to say that all a musician really needs is ONE good listener. That one listener is enough to change an activity from totally reflective to a communicative art and that is often all that is needed. Therefore, I would still try to see how to foster the small concert, the chamber recital in an informal forum, the closeness of hearing a natural voice or instrument and being involved in the actual thought and delivery of music as a low input, low stake, but very satisfying and sustainable activity. Going by the exact wording of this thread, I doubt if any "brilliant" artiste can sustain brilliance for too long in the public glare. A public success has to cater to so many tastes, that it is very difficult to take risks and stretch oneself. That some of the top performers of today actually do so sometimes is a great credit to them.
By the way, I did see the video clip of the ghatam/grinder business, and I was mildly tickled by it, that was about it. My definition of classical art is something that can be formalized and taught over a long period of time, with slowly changing values, and this will have its place for sometime to come. Let everyone else have their say, we don't own the stage!
I would like to reiterate my support for your continued passion to support the art in so many ways. The most important one is your giving your time to listen to so many people over so many years.

Re: Brilliant artists not fully recognized by the public&sab

Thanks. You are probably taking off from the title of this thread . Yes we had a dilemma , how to title it - the earlier one said something about artists who could / did not climb up the ladder . I now recognise that this one is more confusing.
Be that as it may , my personal interest here , is to have an internet hall of fame , where atleast the worthy singers are heard at least for a fraction of an hour , If not more . In the hope that they will not sell their grandparents tapes to the raddiwallahs for 5 Bucks a piece .
My own journey changed course after I saw a 50 year old housewife , belonging to a family which had featured SSI's concerts for all the marriages , spanning across three generations - explain to me how , for one of those marriages , she heated and re-formed old useless Lps into exotic shapes. And gave them as gifts. And that act was a rare hit in their family circles.
We spent , sometime later , figures like Rs 1500 for one tape of 60 minutes having 20tracks of 78 RPM recordings of 3 mts each . For about 40 such tapes . I am happy we did before that greedy seller's childtren recycled them for roadlaying.
This problem has little to do with issues of obscurity and more with a question of timing of technology .
Classical Music will survive . And will always cater to a small segment .
A good Yachtsman knows that his chances of his going off-course is more likely when he has a favourable wind behind him.
These artists did not have that advantage . The least , I thought I could do , was to set the clock back .Just a bit.
I have got a bit virulent these last couple of days because people who have seen better days tend to push many of the ills plaguing today , under the carpet.
The fact that only one artist could be indentified by a set of 36 downloaders , tells me that I can go up to the Hundred I promised /
And You ain't heard nothin yet . Watch out .
Thanks for posting your views.

And talking of chamber Music settings , I will be once again tracing the series of 25 concerts we have hosted . In a series of clips .
And most of these concerts - of the audio clips - were held far far away from metros . In obscure countryside.

A big track . But worth labouring through the download. After a hesitant start , it starts getting brilliant at the Panthuvarali..

So many wonderful nooks and corners there.
And by the time Kharaharapriya is introduced as RTP - it gets sublime .

I wrote about this problem with obscurity here , sometime ago.

A big track . But worth labouring through the download. After a hesitant start , it starts getting brilliant at the Panthuvarali..
my my !!!! what a neraval !!! )
So many wonderful nooks and corners there.
And by the time Kharaharapriya is introduced as RTP - it gets sublime .
I take a break here and move a bit towards my Kannada Land for such artists

Regarding post # 113, I thought about Sudhakara Rao (Karnataka cricketer from 70s and 80s) but opted for Ashok Malhotra because Sudhakar Rao played in only one test (if I am right).
Anyway, thanks for this very interesting thread and for sharing your bounty with us!

My guess - Sukanya Prabhakar, recording from a few years back?

Re: Brilliant artists not fully recognized by the public&sab
While on the subject, what strikes me most is the time we spent in locating the songs of the greats of yesteryears from whatever source they are available-the discarded tapes and the Lps
when so many songs of them are already available-most of the songs are only repetition with only the venue and the time being different. And, in the process, I tend to feel, that we fail to encourage the not so popular artists of the present day as well as the young talents who are trying to establish themselves by engaging ourselves in the process mentioned above.
Legends sing in the same way they sing earlier in their career - perhaps with some variation in more elaborate raga alapana or in the swara sanjaras in some cases.
I have also made a few comparisons in this regard.
I am reminded of the following:
After a wedding reception performance by the late Shri. Ariyakudi Ramanuja Iyengar, the groom's father told the music legend:
'Your recital now is much superior to what you sang last year. '
Ariyakudi replied " Ivvidam pattu appidiye thhaan irukku.
Avvidam dhaan gnaanam konjam vandhirukku. Adhanal dhaan appidi theriyaradhu
In this context I wish to submit that some time back I was in search of a Varnam in the Raga narayani composed by Shri Poochi Iyengar.
I have searched hundreds of varnam in all popular sites , but, I could not come across the one which I sought. Evidently, this was not a popular one-or put it differently , this was not considered by the stalwarts for being rendered in their concerts while certain other Varnams were being sung time and again by them
Can we not make it a point to make available more and more the concerts of these young talents and make positive criticism instead of showing apathy so as to make them more popular instead of going in for a repetition of songs already available.
If I am wrong in my views I seek to be excused.

Re: Brilliant artists not fully recognized by the public&sab
Whenever permitted, recordings have been made by mankuthimma of the concerts organised by himself and friends. The age range of artists presented covers something like seventy years, from teens to eighties. Both encouragement and archiving have been done!
I think, too, that many good young artists do get good audiences, and are encouraged. I hope they are!
