"TRS The Great" has sung that Pallavi in quite a few ragas. I remember a Sastri Hall concert in the late 70s (Not sure) with T. Rukmini, Upendran & a very young Harishankar, where he sang this in Kalyani in Misra Triputa, Khanda Nadai..

Thank you Sachi_R and Talalaya for the response. I do not have the audio of the concert of Gayatri Venkataragavan in Tampa,FL on Oct.15, where she sang this Pallavi. I missed her initial announcement of the raga, but later she said that this wold be a pallavi by TRS. It sounded like Mohana KalyaNi to me, but I was not sure. The violinist also played Kapi during the Alapana, adding to my confusion ! It was a very good concert that I enjoyed very much.

What can one say about Thiruvidaimarudhur Rajagopalan Subramaniam or Taala Raaga Swaroopan that his stock mrudangam accompanist kamalakar Rao told once about shri TRS.

Personally one of my top two biggest regret is not hearing TRS sing a live concert. In late 80's when my periappa in Delhi introduced and said he is TRS - a carnatic musician . I asked TRS mAmA do you sing like santhanam. Strange question then, but now I keep asking the whole world does any one other than (MMI-SSI-GNB and may be few more) ever sing with such verve and manodharmam like TRS. I personally owe a lot of rasikatvam to Taala Raaga Swaroopan .

A rare Thyagaraja krithi Lakshanamulu in suddhasAveri, I only knew about this krithi few years back when I wrote a review that abhishek sang. I then came to know thru the forum that trs sang this lovely krithi

There is a TRS National Prog of 1970s where in he sang this piece with a few others. totally about 6/7 kritis, limited alapana/swarams etc. TRULY BEAUTIFUL CONCERT and a young and vibrant voice.

FB memory triggerred thoughts on the gerat man and his music kept lingering through the day. I made a blog post based on it: https://carnaticmusicreview.wordpress.c ... ering-trs/

[alpajnani]

Is there a recording of that?
---
how time flies !! A decade ago we christened this track as the 1234 demo.
And it lives on....

From listening to this I believe this actually is the audio track of a video recording. Does anyone have the video version?

Thanks,

Most of what you wrote possibly i already knew any way thanks for rekindling those memories . The rendition of bharatha janani by palakkad sriram shows his abhimAnam even voice texture is bit like TRS mama. Ideas just kept pouring in all directions and they were indeed blessed to see TRS mama in action. Thank you palakkad sreeram for capturing the intense musical drive of taala raaga swaroopan.

Rajesh,

It would be impossible for me write something that you wouldn't know on Shri. TRS

Namasakarams Everyone! Shri Kunnakudi Balamuralikrishna Sang this Pallavi in TRS mama day concert this week. RTP Starts at 1:47:00

After many years of chasing , i finally got the information from TRS mama's daughter that Thiruvidaimarudhur Rajagopalan Subramanyam was born in Madras . He was born in a house near Armenian street in Parrys(Mannady), Chennnai. TRS born in madras drifted to 9 different navagrahas ranging from Parrys-Mannady-(1),Tiruvidaimarudhur-(2), mayavaram-(3), kumbakonam-(4), trinelveli-(5), vijayawada-(6), delhi-karolbagh(7),delhi-universitycampus(8) and back to Chennai- Annanagar(9).

If you think the above info on different grahas is useless here you have a very useful link to get back to Taala Raaga Swaroopan with his graha balam emi???

grahabalamEmi - revagupti- T .TRS coartists are Seshagiri Rao(Violin), Trichur Mohan (Mrudangam) and unknown moresing artist(some one can let us know the morsing artist)

Hanumath Jayanthi just got over . Who else is a better representation to dedicate to Lord Hanuman than the one and only Thriuvidaimarudhur Rajagopalan Subramaniam . Superbly assisted by younger Trichur Mohan . Thanks to violinist Seshagiri Rao sir pranams . shri rao played way back in 80's or 90's and more importantly uploaded this gem . I just set the time of the RTP to begin with Taanam with Mrudangam , the real testimony of any vidwan/vidushi to show their maruthi-Intelligence and Hanumath-VocalPower. go on from the taanam to pallavi lines on Hanuman and the super spectacular kAnada and spectacular revati swaras.
