A great vidwan, disciple of Tiger and Maharajapuram Viswanatha Iyer. His concert recordings are not that easily available.

Would appreciate if someone (K-ji?) could upload recordings of his singing.

Did anyone download the recordings mentioned above? I am unable to locate the ones I (thought I) had downloaded, and would appreciate if someone can u/l the same. Many thanks. (Btw, it seems to have disappeared from sangeethapriya site.)

For those who requested a re-upload, here is the main item from that concert, a spellbinding thodi, with Sri Krishnambhajamaanasa. TNK on the violin was at his best here producing a beautiful follow up to Ayyalore's. But more memorable than the alapana was the spectacular rendition of the krithi itself, and the thani by VR was beautiful and somewhat more aggressive than what we are normally used to hearing from him. Within a half hour, all the grandeur of a two hour rendition of this masterpiece was displayed.

Ayyalore passed away quite a while ago if I am not mistaken.

Thank you, Bala. That's a great Todi indeed.

Prashanth - Your grand father was a voccalist of high calibre. A stickler to tradition.
There was a HMV cassette of his Music Academy concert excerpts. I do not know if its
still available. I vividly remember a Madras Doorshan program of his in the year 1981(or 1980)
with MSG on violin when he rendered Nagumomu in all its splendour. Some of his other
favourites were Nadaloludai(kalyana vasantha), Sri Lakshmi varaham (Abhogi)

A treat from Raju Asokan staple!

People vying for neravals not to miss his in jAta rUpa. The svara prastAra is a treat where there is mAtra Suddham of high order, even in higher speed rounds. Even if in real terms kAlapramANam went up a notch, it never felt so!

Even for a janaranjaka marukElara, he does not miss an atItam in O raghava after anupallavi and refrain back. And how smoothly even that launches.

SrI Ayyalore krishnan is another example of a full tone voice. The opener entarO mAhanubhavulu itself is an example.

Listening to his rItigauLA - a short Alapana and Janani. We keep saying Carnatic musicians don't pronounce well etc. And this could be an example too. But then how does tone emission come about??

Speed and Bhavam have no issues with each other, if it stays in madyama kAlam. He has a good pacy one.

I learnt about this artist, when I met a student of his, around the time I landed in Houston in 1993.
