Good to hear from you KNV, and that too with a treat--every time I hear kaNDu dhanyanAde from him, it's a joy.

Is it your son that I see there, the one who put it up on Youtube?

Thanks KNV for that posting!!
Anybody who knows nothing about CM and wants to hear something good to "stimulate' his/her passion for CM should listen to just this artist and this song.He/She will be hooked for ever!!!

As they say in Tamil,'ORU PAANAI SOTRIKKU Oru SHORU PADAM".

Young Vidyarthis to note: How long KVN Sir is able to hold the Kaarvai in the Anupallavi-- without the "hisses" that follow a long-winded note- that is due to sheer practice not some God-given gift or special "LUNGS"!!!!!

KVN Sir is one of the rare "breeds" that were equally good at Teaching as well as Singing

14 years back, the World was left bereft of one of the most beautiful voices to have ever sung South Indian Music. In connection with the 14th remembrance day of The Master, we offer an old radio concert of his. The accompanists: Sri V. Thyagarajan (violin) and Sri Palghat R.Raghu (mridangam). The songs featured are:
Sri Chamundeshwari Devi - Kannada - Mysore Maharaja
Palukavademira - Devamanohari - Mysore Vasudevachar
Brochevaarevarura - Khamas - Mysore Vasudevachar

KNV1955: I AGREE!!! HE WAS A TRUE NADAYOGI--impeccable in his attention to the nuances of our music and adherence to the Padantharam and yet never hamstrung by it!! he was a great teacher too(my sister was his student in the fifties when he lived in New Street in mandaveli).he was very austere in his eating and general habits and I always thought he would live longer--78 years were too young for a man of his musical calibre and habits.

KVN sings Omana Thingal Kidavo:

The master sings this so beautifully. Be it the most complicated neraval or a sangathi less lullaby, KVN does it best.

Are there any recordings of KVN singing Kshira Sagara Sayana in Devagandhari? Searching through Sangeethapriya it seems like there are mostly recordings of Enneramum Unthan Sannidhiyil. Also, are there any recordings of KVN singing Sahana ( Sangeethapriya has a few RTP Sahana) but I am looking for songs, particularly Tyagaraja songs.

However the it is incomplete.

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
