Recordings of instrumentalists singing

[nivedita]

Does anyone have recordings of T.N.Rajarathnam Pillai's vocal concerts or of any other instrumentalist singing (not necessarily in a concert)?

Among contemporary artistes, I have Chitravina Shri Ravikiran's recordings. Any pointers on recordings of yesteryear artistes will be of great help.

There is also a recording of Lalgudi Jayaraman giving a vocal performance, not sure if thats a commercial recording.

There's a youtube video in which Shri Lalgudi Jayaraman sings with his daughter. The piece is the Lalgudi pancaratna kriti in tODi.

From a Subbbudu review, I have read that once Palakkad Mani Iyer gave a Lec-Dem on Ragam-Thanam-Pallavi [Music Academy] which included singing one in Thodi.

M Chandrasekaran has sung in Shastri Hall.

Vellore Ramabadran has also given a vocal concert.

Ms. Amruta Murali is a contemporary artist who gives vocal concerts and accompanies on the violin.

Smts. Ranjani and Gayatri no longer give violin concerts.

Sri R. K. Sriramkumar gave a vocal concert that rbharath had reviewed.

Sri TVG is a percussionist and vocalist...

Sri TNS has given vINA concerts...

I assume citravINa Ganesh of the Carnatica brothers also plays the citravINA.

Sri Ganesh (of the Ganesh-Kumaresh duo) has sung (playback) for the movie 'Dance like a Man'

I remember reading somewhere that the Akkarai sisters, in addition to being superb violinists are also very good vocalists.

Don't forget MSS playing VINA. She too has given concerts.

I remember reading somewhere that the Akkarai sisters, in addition to being superb violinists are also very good vocalists.

Five Years Later...

They do both, but I suspect that they give more vocal-duet concerts than violin-duet concerts now.

Sri Balamurali Krishna who has performed concerts on the Viola and Mrudangam in addition to his singing..

I heard Sri Srimushnam Raja Rao sing very well at the Madras Music academy (carnatic new year eve organised by carnatica). R K Sreeram kumar sang as well a little later

Smts. Ranjani and Gayatri no longer give violin concerts.

Smts. Ranjani and Gayatri performed a very good Violin duet concert for Sri Rama lalita kala mandira at Gayana Samaja in Bangalore last year.

Also Parur Dr. M Narmadha is an accomplished violinist but recently she has started giving vocal concerts also.

Vocal concert of Sri R Ganesh (of Ganesh- Kumaresh violin duo) was broadcast by AIR- Chennai on the 15th Feb. It has been recorded and uploaded by Sri TVG (Concert ID: 01-C3280). Excellent concert indeed. Wish Sri Ganesh gives many vocal concerts also.
