This is the concert relayed by AIR for the Swati Tirunal Sangeetolsavam- see separate thread under Concerts Reviews. This concert is an edited Navarathri Mandapam concert.

Does anyone have a video of Shri TNK accompanying Vidvan KVN?

Please let me know.

If so, I would love to see it if it was privately shared.
Please send me a private message if you have it and are willing to share it.

Thank you.

Hi,

Is there any videos at all of Sri TN Krishnan accompanying KV Narayanaswamy? I have been looking everywhere but there seems to be no videos, only recordings.

Please let me know if anyone has one or knows about one and is willing to share!

Thank you so much.

SrI KVN's Lec Dem on Ariyakudi Bani @ Indian Fine Arts , 1987

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYZqZBQeQ3E

Lot of anecdotes. There is one about how him and N. Krishnan would await his other student to make a mistake , so ARI would have to sing again.

Another one where ARI yielded to an early ( day prior) request for Amba nannubrOva. KVN did not know this kriti at that time. He was upset as he would not be able to sing behind. ARI sensed this, and at some point called him and checked with him if he knew the kriti and kind of admonished him for not having learnt.

"appaDiyE en talaiyil kaTTi mATRi viTTuTaar". He put that on my head and shifted the burden!

One Sokkaiya Chettiar advised KVN not to sing correctly when ARI teaches, so ARI would repeat few times.

Re Shri K.V.Narayanaswamy - a new question

Post by skbc1 »

Dear Rasikas -
I was recently in the mood to listen to Abheri, as sung by Shri KVN. I went through my collection of commercially issued CDs as well as concert recordings, in an attempt to find anything Shri KVN had sung in this raga, and I could find nothing! I tried to search this forum for any mention of this raga, and could not find anything on the topic either.

There are many on this forum who have much larger collections than I do - so, if anyone has a recording where Shri KVN has elaborately sung a krithi in this raga, is she/he willing to share? Or, is it the case that Shri KVN chose to not include this raga in his vast repertoire?

Sincerely,
S. K. Bhaskar

11. Varugalamo (keeravani)
Varugalamo is in maanji. Edit above post

Kvn has selected every gem that kind of gives his gurus like ariyakudi,touch of ssi , touch of mmi, veena dhanammal is all there. Taking malayalam main shows kvn uniqueness. Bringing lot of popular thamizh tail is so welcome and a coverage of all languages and composers. May be one kannada language number would have been perfect but hey we got malayalam

Naadabadran took it to Himalayan heights , with msg also adding his maGical touch. Three extraordinary perfectionist creating multiplier classical magic. I have heard this concert atleast 25 times in last 20 years

A superb Lec-dem by Vid H V Srivatsan on Maha Vidwan Sri KVN at Music Academy

https://youtu.be/UiNeInuCduI

I shared this at FB group rasikas.org with the following comments


This is a worthy tribute to the one-and-only Sri KVN. I am not the first to say it, but his music caught me the very first time I heard him in the seventies. There were so many divine moments in his concerts that I always wondered how someone could get it “so right”! In the Gita, Bhagavan defines what is Sattvic nourishment – it is life-giving, soul-nourishing, creating inner wellness and strength. It has to be sweet, juicy, and hearty. Those very words describe Sri KVN’s music. Sri KVN sang for Bhagavan, for the composer of the song, and for the rasika, all in equal measure. He had समत्वम् – a perfect “Just Right” feeling or “Balance” in everything – shruti, Laya, Sahitya, Manodharma, Concert organisation. Music smiled through him always.

My Pranams to Sri KVN always.

Just right / balance or the measure was the forte of Ariyakudi which KVN followed steadfastily. Ramnad Krishnan / Voleti Venkateswarulu were couple of vidwans who sang with the perfect balance / proportion. Of course amongst the femalae vocalists Brindamma, MSS, MLV and DKP were known for this quality.
KVN's music was divine - the voice, the tempo and every element such as alapanas, the kriti rendition, the swaras flowing with absolute ease, the repertoire etc ....
