Kindly refer post 26 in this thread.

Can we have the link for the concert (TNS-LGJ) in which the raga Sankarabharanam is featured as mentioned
in the posting mentioned above and also the link for the RTP in suruti.

[Sri.TNS has given a number of memorable concerts in the late 1970s and the early 1980s
in which he is accompanied by Sri.LGJ on the violin.

Fortunately for us a few of them are availble in the public domain.
Nagpur concert (TNS-LGJ-Palghat R Raghu-G Harishnkar) in which Karaharapriya (pakkalanilapadi)
is the main raga and the swara kalpana contains a number of mind boggling mathematical permutations
and combinations with TNS in full form; and it is superfluous to say that Sri.LGJ played it all with absolute ease.
Another concert (TNS-LGJ) in which he has sung all Papanasam Sivan compositions with Varali being the main raga].

I havent heard a lot of TNS but my 2 personal favourites are, one uploaded by our own.... coolkarni - Shankarabharanam accompanied by Lalgudi and the second one is the RTP in Surrutti. This was a spontaneous one as he announces later that "his conscience didnt allow him to complete the concert without singing a pallavi in the concert"
Regards,SR

Please share this concert with us ( and if it is a commercial release, please give the details).

Thanks.

RTP Audio request.

Can anyone kindly share "Padathikaga Pa layathirkaga La Vinyasathukaga Vi ..." Pallavi by TNS please? Many thanks.

This is from the wonderful concert at the 'koothambalam' of Kerala Kalamandalam, part of their platinum jubilee celebration...

The concert started at 9:30 pm and it was 2: 45 am, by the time it was over. One fantastic concert to remember.

You can watch thef ull concert here. Awesome concert!

Thanks Mahesh and braindrain. That four houre+ concert was fabulous. But the files get opened in a disjointed manner (like present day TMK concerts). After the Dharmavathi kriti, the thani of Soundararajam is coming. Then comes the RTP alapanas- Bhairavi and Sindubhairavi- then comes Soundararajam. But the alapanas are awesome. It brought to mind two same RTP I heard those days- Once in Bombay and once in Chennai. In tahe slokam, for the phrase Navarasabharithaihi, TNS brings two rounds of Navarasas in 18 ragas. The raga rasas capsulated in just two words- King of manodharmam.

Thanks to the uploader.

There is one more concert TNS with HKVenkatram and Arjun Kumar in the YT. Wonderful concert. I attended that concert. It was in Malleswaram Venugopalaswamy temple in early 1990s. Five raga alapanas, RTP Kalyani. Main Adathu Asangathu with Neraval at Chinnamchiru padangal- Absolute bliss. Visit that.

I chanced upon this wonderful concert of the Maestro. There are some gaps in the recording. But music is continuous. Splended RTP in Natakurinji. Enjoy.

Full fledged one Raga - one kriti - kambhoji - SrI subramhanyAya namastE

with Sri S.D Sridhar, Sri Vellore and Sri Nagarajan.

Mudhra 1996.

Another one. The Minister sitting in the front is Vasant Sathe I&B Minsiter - so this must be between 1985 through 89 - thru Rajiv Gandhi as PM years.
I could see some faces I know - Kunnakudi Vaidyanathan, Sujatha Srinivasan - who is now in Cleveland, Lalgudi Vijayalakshmi.

Selva ganesh on the Kanjira I suppose.

It seems TNS himself is publishing these.

Here is another gem that has been uploaded in the channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGBX-1uwHeA

A super duper viruttam for 38 mins. Apparently the concert was in Detroit in a Shiva Temple on a Pradhosham day.

[shankarank]

With TKM and Chandru:

Ananda naTamADuvAr - full recording not available - anupallavi is missing. Still you can see how he handles syllables.

Anandanadamaduvar is one of his masterpieces. Rendered in many concerts
