Nedanoori sir passes away

Post by chitravina ravikiran »

Another pillar of Indian music and culture and one of the most loved artistes of this era - Shri Nedanoori Krishnamurthy sir was felled by lung cancer a few hours back at age 87...

I'll forever cherish my interactions with him - be it Mukhari Audio album (Karunyam) where he shared his deep insights of the raga, the concert of his in Chennai where I accompanied him, music-filled lunches or walks with him not to mention the numerous concerts of his that I attended from childhood. May his soul rest in peace...

"Srimaan Nedunuri Krishnamurthy gaaru mukti adaindhaar endhru sollalaam"

Srimaan Nedunuri Krishnamurthy gaaru attained Mukti...he has become one with all the great composers of yesteryears

if I have to randomly pick only one concert of his, it would be the one at The Music Academy Madras in 1981 with Chalakudi sir and Raghu sir....what kalyani alaapana...breathtaking and outstanding kalpanaa..e vasudha, subramanyena, palukethe nelathalli, muddu gare, naanaadi bathukku and so many more...chalakudi sir and raghu sir at their best too...

my humble pranaams and ananthakoti namaskaaram to the MahAtma

Deep condolences to Nedanuri garu's family and shishyas. His brilliant alapanas, his lucid explanations and his simple personality will be sorely missed.

I first saw him live in Delhi in the mid 80s. Sang amazing Saramathi (Mokshamu Galada)and Harikamboji (Enduku Nirdaya) in that concert. I have been hooked to his alapana singing ever since then. During that trip he spent one full afternoon listening to our tapes collection. Heard many of his contemporaries' recordings very impartially and highlighted the best points in each for me and my father.

Fast forward a few decades. My parents went to Vizag a few years back, hunted is contact and randomly called on him for a visit as his hardcore fans from Delhi. Graciously received them at short notice and also gave some CDs of his annamayya compositions. Refused to take money for the same.

Great man. Our fortune that he shared space on terra firma with us.

RIP Sir.

Nedunuri garu was such a treasure trove!

As I reached late home, I was informed that Malladi Brothers cancelled the concert in NGS (Karthik Fine arts) because of passing away of Sri.NedanUri.

Though I was not fortunate to listen to more of his music (even in recording), Whenever Malladi sings Annamacharya tuned by Sri.Nedanuri, they, with full smile, informs the audience that it was tuned by his guru gAru Sri NedanUri.

Sikkil Gurucharan, I believe, in his concert in PS High school yesterday sang "avatAuru ragupathi" of Annamacharya set to be tuned in kamAs by sri NK. He also informed that in rememberance of passing away of Sri.NK. I rate this as one of the beautiful kamAs. especially in the neraval in "rama rAghava ramA, ramachandra prabhO'

I feeel so sad to know his demise. Old age is always there. For the sake of good music, I pray artists like Sri NK, should stay young and enthrall the audience.

What about his family ? Any torch bearers from family ? or only his shisyAs.

We have lost a Great Maestro who breathed and lived for classicism values in the practice of Classical Karnataka Music. NKM Sir achieved immortality in his tunes he composed for Bhadrachala Ramadasu and Annamacharya, which were not available in the karna parampara. NKM Sir and SSRao, my guru and father were very closely associated as musicians, musicologists and teachers for well over five decades. When SSRao was serving AIR, Vijayawada and also later times, whenever he is used to visit Vijayawada, Kakinada and Visakapatnam, NKM Sir used to learn rare compositions and discuss many aspects of music. Always present in the railway stations to assist SSRao along with Sri Voleti Venkateshwara Rao garu.
NKM Sir deeply expressing his disappointment of MA not conferring Sangita Kalanidhi to SSRao, persuaded SSRao to accept the honor of Visaka Fine Arts Academy he was associated with the title 'Sangita Naada Vidya Nidhi'. Memories of his early performances at Vijyawada, Gunturu, Kakinada and Madras are etched every in my deep memory. SVBC has recorded and telecast his many programs, including one very significant program on Annamacharya compositions he had set them to tune along with his disciple Sri Garimella Bala Krishnaprasad, for posterity. Many of his disciples whom he lovingly taught, including younger Malladi Bros, will carry forward his legacy.

SSRao should have been given Sangita Kalanidhi. His video available in youtube itself is testimony of that.
Maybe we rasikas should pool funds and award 'Maha Sangita Kalanidhi' titles to all the artistes whom the Academy has failed to recognise.
