DRS,
the LGJ surati track is still "undownloadable"

drshrikaanth · Post by **drshrikaanth** » 14 Feb 2007, 18:52

Someone who downloaded please reupload on alternate sites and post. Thanks

All good things come to an end

But great things go on forever...
I was hoping we would have a few more (at least 2-3) rounds...
Oh well, c'est la vie, I guess.

The source of the sAranga clip- rendered by a fabulous artiste- Neela Ramgopal from Bangalore:- someone who produces sovereign classical stuff. This in itself commands respect and admiration. What enhances this feeling is knowledge of the fact that she started quite late and fought against illness. I have not only heard her in concert several times, but also had the fortune to learn from her in a workshop. A very unassuming and friendly lady.

Her prowess comes out in the AlApane here- the sAranga holds forth within the fist few seconds- thats what I put up for the quiz.

Thanks DRs,
Nice combination of flute, mandolin.

I once could not identify Lalgudi's varnam in sAma, since then learnt this rAga.

Since there's no musical quiz forthcoming, here's a quiz of sorts...

Which leading percussion vidwan is pictured here in his childhood?

MaheshS · Post by **MaheshS** » 22 Feb 2007, 23:13

Hmm, Guruvayoor Dorai?

meena · Post by **meena** » 23 Feb 2007, 00:21

VK - thanks for being a spoilsport!

(and there goes my quiz-master career...didn't last even a day!)

vasanthakokilam · Post by **vasanthakokilam** » 23 Feb 2007, 04:00

Sorry Jayaram. That link is just so good, I had to share it. Hope you were not planning on more questions based on that document.

jayaram · Post by **jayaram** » 23 Feb 2007, 04:33

VK, that's ok - it was to be just that one question. (I am no DRS!)

I agree, that percussion page is really great.

ramakriya · Post by **ramakriya** » 27 Feb 2007, 03:33

Aplogies for the delay Guys. Have been very busy the last few weeks. Will put this up within the week.

vijay · Post by **vijay** » 27 Feb 2007, 12:59

Same here

listener · Post by **listener** » 04 Mar 2007, 00:13

Sorry for raking this up really LATE...

but I thought this is worth discussing...

In the second audio round, two of the nishadam clips match with Kalyani and Surati prayogams.

1) Can someone explain/demonstrate how n3 in kalyAni is different from the same in, say, pAvani (41), dharmavati (59) or kosalam (71)?

2) --do-- with n2's in Surati and rItigauLa?

Identify the person playing the veena

jayaram · Post by **jayaram** » 10 Mar 2007, 04:32

Isn't that Ravi Shankar on the sitar?

ramakriya · Post by **ramakriya** » 10 Mar 2007, 05:09

Looking at the number of sympathetic strings, it looks like Veena to me. But this was of playing was in 18th -19th century...

ksrimech · Post by **ksrimech** » 10 Mar 2007, 11:47

One and Only Ravi Shankar

jayaram · Post by **jayaram** » 15 Mar 2007, 18:03

Suji - what's the answer?

One and only Ravishankar -Yes!!
(Ah!, should have covered the face or the veena for the quiz)

This picture is from 1934. The caption reads- Ravishankar playing the Saraswati veena.

This audio clip (just 4-5 seconds) from another thread can form a great quiz question. Identify the raga.

ksrimech · Post by **ksrimech** » 25 Mar 2007, 05:29

jayaramji, my answer: kAmavardhini (mELa 51) = pUrvi (thAT 8) or pUriA dhanSrI (thAt 9)

rshankar is first to get it right!! It is Smt sudha ragunAthan

jayaram · Post by **jayaram** » 02 Apr 2007, 16:32

Yes, it is Sudha Raghunathan.

cmlover · Post by **cmlover** » 02 Apr 2007, 22:04

Jay!
That is an anachronism. That is little 'sudha'. It took a lot more years to become 'sudha raghunathan'

Did you know that MLV looked exactly the same when she was a baby!

jayaram · Post by **jayaram** » 22 Apr 2007, 23:54
